Ever since MTV was created, the music industry has placed an emphasis on having cutting-edge music videos.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t always follow that a spectacular song will have an amazing video or vice versa. But when a brilliant song accompanies an exceptional video something memorable happens. An instant relationship is forged between the entertainer and the viewer. A great music video can live long in the memory transforming an ordinary song into something truly wonderful.
