Many tracks have left a significant mark on our lives, earning a permanent spot on our playlists, yet surprisingly, they were never accompanied by a music video. This topic resurfaced after Juvenile released a music video for “400 Degreez,” 26 years post its debut, reigniting fans’ hopes for similar surprises from their favorite artists. This move has encouraged listeners to urge other artists to give their classic tracks the visual treatment they missed initially. Here are a few tracks that we think truly deserve the visual treatment:
“Poppin'” by Chris Brown
Chris Brown’s early hit “Poppin'” from his debut self-titled album still resonates with fans who have been clamoring for a music video. They believe a visual accompaniment could breathe new life into the track and attract a fresh wave of appreciation, especially from younger audiences. The call for a video underscores the song’s enduring appeal and the deep connection fans maintain with Brown’s music.
“Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music 2” by Drake featuring Jay-Z
This laid-back track from Drake’s 2013 album “Nothing Was the Same” mixes introspective lyrics about success and the music industry with a mellow beat. Featuring the combined star power of Drake and Jay-Z, a music video could have offered a deeper look into the personal costs of fame. Unfortunately, without a visual, the narrative between these two music titans is left to fans’ imaginations.
“Love On The Brain” by Rihanna
A fan favorite since its release, Rihanna’s “Love On The Brain” captivates with its soulful vibe and emotional depth. Despite its popularity, it never got an official music video, leaving many fans longing for a visual that matches the song’s intense emotions and showcases Rihanna’s powerful performance.
“Savage Remix” by Megan Thee Stallion featuring Beyoncé
The remix of “Savage” by Megan Thee Stallion, featuring Beyoncé, quickly rose to anthem status, resonating deeply with fans globally. Admirers of both artists have been eager for a video that mirrors the song’s fierce attitude and empowering lyrics. Fans continue to hope for a visual representation that embodies the strong, confident vibes both artists portray.
The absence of music videos for these iconic songs undoubtedly creates a void in how we experience and remember them. However, it also sparks a unique form of engagement, encouraging listeners to fill in the blanks with their imaginations.
