Peep This: Daft Punk ‘Lose Yourself To Dance’ Video feat. Pharrell and Nile Rodgers

Posted byBy Leo | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Lost in the weirdness that was the MTV VMAs last night, DJ duo Daft Punk released a new music video for their hit song “Lose Yourself to Dance,” featuring Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers. The song is a great follow-up to the French electronic musicians’ summer hit “Get Lucky” which also features Pharrell and Rodgers. According to globalgrind.com:

“If you loved the moves Pharrell was doing in Daft Punk’s ‘Get Lucky’ music video, you’ll be dancing your little heart out to ‘Lose Yourself To Dance.’

“Reminiscent of an ’80s music video, Pharrell Williams, Daft Punk, and legendary producer Nile Rodgers lose themselves to dance in the 60-second music video. Dressed in shiny glittery suits, Nile and one half of Daft Punk rock out to the electric guitars as Pharrell hits all his favorite falsetto notes.”

Daft Punk hopes to replicate the success of its first single “Get Lucky,” which took the summer by storm, and probably was only behind Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” for song of the summer.

The common thread between two of the hottest songs of the summer and “Lose Yourself to Dance” is Pharrell. After going through a cold period where he wasn’t featured on many songs, Pharrell has reasserted himself as one of the hottest producers in the music industry.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
