Why is it that the women of color in the video where portrayed to seem more promiscuous and dangerous and slavable in comparison to the White women in the video. Lastly, I can’t help but point out the difference in portrayals of the Black women in comparison to the White women. Not saying that men’s bodies should be equally objectified, I’m just wanting to point out the fact that there is a clear imbalance when it comes to representation. No shirtless men, no objectification of the male body. We didn’t see any other guys in the video. Think about it, all Zayn did in the video was stand around and kiss a girl. Clearly this video was created to please the heterosexual male viewers, yet the sad part is, this has become so normalized that women eat it up and don’t even realize or care how the video was constructed for the male gaze and to fulfill the heterosexual male’s fantasy. The track is taken from his debut solo studio album, Mind of Mine, released in March 25, 2016.Zayn co-wrote the song with Anthony Hannides, Michael Hannides of MYKL and Levi Lennox, who also produced the single.The song was released as the lead single from the album on 29 January 2016, along with its. So although Zayn’s main fan basic is women and teen girls, there isn’t much presented in the video that is gratifying for them. 'PILLOWTALK' is ZAYNs first solo single since he left One Direction in March 2015. PILLOWTALK - ZAYN MALIK (Pillow Talk Rock Cover) - TeraBrite.
There are scenes with women with masks on their faces, oiled up, and fighting each other naked for no good reason:Īll the while, Zayn is, for the majority of the time, standing their lip sings (badly) and kissing Gigi, the female model in the video. Zayn Malik New Single Pillow Talk Music Video Sees Him KISS Gigi Hadid For First Time Misha Protasyukov 88. (BTW that’s a flower blooming out of her Who-Ha) And right when you think it can’t possibly get much worse the viewers see women not only objectified but also pinned against each other. I guess I’ll just dive right in and start with the obvious : Hyper-sexualization and Objectification of the female body. However, as it continues, what I saw caused my head to tilt and my eyebrow to raise.Īfter the video was over I couldn’t help but ask myself, “What did I just watched?!” There is so much wrong with the video, I don’t know where to begin. The video starts off saturated with red, black, and grey lighting along with Zayn and a young women. Sadly, yet unsurprisingly, what I saw was far from impressive. Of course I had to check out what all the buzz was about, so I went to YouTube, found the video and pushed play. Fan girls (and guys) took to social media posting their praises over the new release. As of today, just one day after its release, the video has over 60 million views on YouTube. And, while he definitely accomplishes that here, let's hope his upcoming debut solo album Mind of Mine embraces that quiet mystery that made him cool in the first place.Last week the internet went wild as the new Zayn Malik music video Pillow Talk was released. But in a saturated market, one that just saw the release of one of the most anticipated pop albums ever, Zayn needed to make an entrance that no one would forget. It's a bold statement from an artist who clearly wants to distance himself from his Tiger Beat past. "Pillowtalk" is a grandiose, oozing slow jam, and the video is basically a window into what Malik and Hadid do behind closed doors. Yesterday, Malik tried to convince the world he and Hadid were just "good friends," and then he went ahead and dropped what might go down as one of the steamiest clips of all time. The 22-year-old just released "Pillowtalk," his first single as a solo artist, along with a music video that gets rid of any doubt we may have had as to the status of his relationship with Gigi Hadid.
The next time a blizzard ravages the east coast, just play Zayn Malik's new music video anywhere in the remote vicinity of snow, and well, you good.
