‘We Are Live’ N°126 – 2010s Music Videos
Stereophonics’ "Indian Summer" blends nostalgia with arena-ready riffs but feels a bit predictable, while Foals’ "My Number" pulses with rhythmic precision and post-punk cool, earning notable chart success like No. 23 in the UK. Cover Drive’s catchy "Lick Ya Down" peaks at No. 9 in the UK, showcasing polished pop-reggae, and Bruno Mars’ heartfelt ballad "When I Was Your Man" tops the US Billboard Hot 100 with raw, stripped-back emotion.
Mr. Probz’s "Waves," enhanced by Robin Schulz’s remix, rides emotional metaphors to international chart-topping status, while Passenger’s "Let Her Go" captivates with its folk-pop simplicity, becoming a global hit. Zedd, Maren Morris, and Grey’s "The Middle" perfects infectious pop but sacrifices edge for mainstream appeal. James Arthur’s "Safe Inside" brings tender familial reflections, gaining Platinum certification despite its safe musical choices.
