[Video] Ariana Grande: "Right There" (Feat. Big Sean)
There's a lot of production value going into music videos these days. After hedging the dip that happened with the proliferation of Canon cameras and easy editing software, the game seems to be back with a slew of long-form, thoughtfully crafted storylines such as this visual for Ariana Grande's track "Right There" featuring Big Sean. The video is a play on Romeo & Juliet, with Grande taking the lead role and Big Sean filling in as the Priest. It shows a depth of both song and performance and is definitely worth a look. Check it out here below.
