The Music Video
At the same quintessential house party, Cosmo’s Midnight and Ruel weave their way through the color-glazed maze of costumes. It is directed and filmed by Ruel’s resident creative Grey Ghost from the perspective of each individuals’ adventures. Cosmo’s Midnight are seen stirring trouble and performing switcheroos. This happens while Ruel navigates the dizzying scenes solo in his token space suit. He also dodges the fallout of the twins’ mischief along the way. The visuals give a glimpse into the three personalities that forged the original single amidst squabbles, a live band, a police raid, apparent cameos by each act and a presiding go-with-the-flow mood.
“I wanted to play with the collaboration between Ruel and Cosmo’s Midnight in a unique way that allows fans of both artists to enter into each others’ worlds. Both film clips are seamless one shot videos from start to finish and follow through many rooms and spaces in the one property: my own home. We rehearsed with Ruel and Cosmo’s Midnight a million times before launching into the real takes with 60 extras all dressed in crazy costumes. We shot both videos in 3 hours and we were shitting ourselves before every take as there were SO MANY things that could go wrong even if it was a slight mistake. BUT thank the lawd we got there and it worked!” Grey Ghost
