It has been a long week leading up to today, because I have been listening to this song non-stop -- and I just had to share it with all of you! I've been a big fan of Ingrid Michaelson for years (she was a big feature during the early years of "Grey's Anatomy"), and her newest album, Lights Out, is just magic. It delivers to us the lighthearted and oh-so-fun "Girls Chase Boys".
The music video has so many things I love: Boys in lipstick. Synchronized dancing. And 80s throwbacks. The video is an almost shot for shot homage to the 1988 Robert Palmer classic, "Simply Irresistible" -- but instead of hot ladies, Ingrid gives us the wonderful androgyny of the sexes: boys and girls, in pink & black leotards and red lipstick and - I assume - heels, dancing together in unison.
Could you just die? I'm enamored. Do yourself a favor and watch these videos side-by-side (be sure to mute the Palmer one) -- very interesting to compare them. Moreover, it's delightful to see how impactful the video is now that it's not showing beautiful women just to show them. Who doesn't love a guy who can full off a full red lip?
