‘Vous Avez Dit Bizarre’ N°669 – 2010s Music Videos

Sam Smith’s "Lay Me Down" carries raw emotion, evolving from a modest 2013 release to gaining wider notice with a 2015 reissue and a remix featuring John Legend that hit No. 1 in the UK. Similarly, James Blake’s haunting "Retrograde" highlights sparse production, delicately blending post-dubstep and soul. Rihanna’s "Needed Me" pairs cool detachment with DJ Mustard’s grinding beats, sticking to a slow-burn electro-R&B vibe, while Miley Cyrus’s "Wrecking Ball" leans on emotional heft paired with over-the-top visuals for cultural impact.

Bombay Bicycle Club’s "Luna" layers vibrant harmonies and tabla rhythms, balancing exotic textures with indie sensibility, whereas Rag’n’Bone Man’s "Skin" delivers cinematic emotionality rooted in TV-inspired drama. Tracks like One Direction’s "Steal My Girl" and Imagine Dragons’ "I Bet My Life" favor polished production over innovation, while Tinie Tempah and Labrinth’s "Lover Not a Fighter" leans into radio-ready pop-rap charm. Elbow’s "Magnificent (She Says)" and Example’s "Perfect Replacement" round out the list, offering tracks that feel precise yet miss risks that could truly resonate.
