Britney Spears, Train, and A Tribe Called Quest Debut New Music Videos
Britney Spears, A Tribe Called Quest and Train all dropped new videos.
— -- Looking for a way to kill time this weekend?
Three artists debuted new music videos recently, and each one has been garnering buzz in its own right.
Britney Spears, Train, and A Tribe Called Quest all put out new works to promote their singles, as seen below.
Britney Spears, "Slumber Party"
Britney Spears and R&B singer Tinashe stage a sexy romp in the new video for their collaboration, “Slumber Party.”
Trading pillow fights and pizza for dance sequences and seductive looks, at one point, the two ladies caress and canoodle with each other in a smoky private room.
“We ain't gonna sleep tonight/'Cause we got them candles hanging/Hanging from the ceiling low/We use our bodies to make our own videos/Put on our music that makes us go f---ing crazy, oh/Go crazy, oh/Like a slumber party,” the two sing.
The track, which is featured on Spears' album, "Glory," is available now at all digital providers.
Train, "Play That Song"
When you hear your favorite song, you can't help but dance -- and that's what happens in Train's video for their new single "Play that Song."
In the clip, it's a picture-perfect day as Train frontman Pat Monahan exits a building wearing earbuds. The song he's listening to makes him so happy that he starts dancing down the street, shaking hands, skipping down stairs and stealing some guy's hat.
As a skywriter draws a musical staff in the sky, Monahan continues on his way, picking up and dancing with more people as he goes along. At one point, he even dances on a giant keyboard, recalling the famous scene in the Tom Hanks movie "Big" where Hanks and Robert Loggia do the same. In the movie, the song Hanks and Loggia play is the standard "Heart and Soul," the tune that "Play That Song" is based on.
At the end of the video, Monahan, followed by a happy, dancing crowd, stops in front of the fictional radio station KTRN. He goes inside and seconds later, emerges triumphant as the station starts playing "Play That Song" -- and the crowd goes wild.
In a statement, Monahan says, "It was such a great time making the video for 'Play That Song.' The idea to be on top of the world and have the whole town react to the happiness was super-fun and corny and sweet, and I wish life was really like this video!"
Monahan and Train will show off more of their dance moves on Monday night, as they perform on the first night of the two-night finale of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars."
"Play That Song" is the first single from Train's upcoming album "A Girl, A Bottle, A Boat," which is due in early 2017.
A Tribe Called Quest, "We the People"
A Tribe Called Quest issues a warning cry in the politically-charged music video for their single, "We the People."
The visual, featuring Q-Tip, DJ-producer Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Busta Rhymes and an animated portrayal of late member MC Phife Dawg, shows the group's words catching the attention of various people.
They all eventually run to create a protest against a variety of social issues, including racism, misogyny and xenophobia.
Tribe performed the powerful track last weekend on "Saturday Night Live," introduced by host Dave Chappelle. The performance also marked the musical group's first appearance on the iconic comedy sketch show.
A Tribe Called Quest's final album, "We got it from Here...Thank You 4 Your service," is now available everywhere.
