this music video had me in a chokehold when it would air on zeeTV in my grandma’s bedroom in 2004. they are just so recklessly hot 😭 i think whenever im feeling into youthful body and more like a baddie than a light orb, this is the exact energy im tryna embody
when i was in PHP for my ED they locked away my phone from 9am-3:30pm every day so when i came home i would have go on phone time like crazy to overcompensate. part of that go on phone time was watching this music video on repeat at least 4 times in a row each day. i honestly could not tell you why as i was never a huge nicki minaj fan, but it came up in my recommended and i really liked it. obviously the song is catchy and the video looks fun, but beyond that, it’s really just about being confident in your body and in your sexuality and that was exactly what i needed at the time.
Earth and eye - Such a hidden gem on YouTube. most of these Reccs might turn into unknown YouTube vlogs because I am obsessed with YouTube talks lmao. I love how I feel like I’m learning alongside with this diva and she always has this way of framing life in the most gentle and embodied way
When I was in hours and hours of practice for tour rehearsals by myself , I would watch Mariam and feel so deeply inspired (and she just has the most poetic editing style). She reminded me of that feeling of being a teenager and having all the time in the world to practice; and that ravenous need to learn more about every inch of music . I think I want to spend the latter half of my music life back to being in study - maybe at a conservatory or with an ustad; thank you Mariam for reminding me
