‘L’Amour Toujours’ N°657 – 2010s Music Videos

Taylor Swift’s "Style" captures the push-pull dynamics of a turbulent romance with sleek production and nods to nostalgia, standing tall on *1989*. Sam Smith’s "Like I Can" blends heartfelt vocals and polished power pop, finding popularity on TikTok years after its UK Top 10 charting. Zedd’s "Stay the Night," with Hayley Williams, merges emotional intensity and polished EDM, though its formulaic pop-EDM appeal feels tied to its 2013 moment.

Maverick Sabre leans into raw introspection on "No One," showcasing his emotional depth, though it stayed under the radar compared to his earlier hits. David Guetta's "What I Did for Love," featuring Emeli Sandé, is anchored by its vocal heft but leans heavily on familiar EDM motifs. Meanwhile, Fergie’s "L.A.

‘L’Amour Toujours’ N°83 – Vintage 2000s Videos

Blue’s "One Love" blends signature boy-band charm with StarGate's polished production, while Rihanna’s "If It's Lovin' That You Want" flirts with her Caribbean roots in its breezy early-career vibe. J. Holiday’s "Bed" brings steamy late-2000s R&B allure, and Fergie’s "Big Girls Don’t Cry" mixes emotional maturity with pop accessibility. OneRepublic’s "Apologize," remixed by Timbaland, became a global breakup anthem, and Robbie Williams’ "Feel" leans on raw vulnerability, driven by his demo vocal. Shayne Ward’s "Breathless" and Westlife’s adaptation of "The Rose" lean into their predictable, fan-favorite balladry, while James Morrison and Nelly Furtado’s "Broken Strings" adds a textured duet tension to a familiar heartbreak narrative.
