Video New New: From J. Holiday, Ryan Leslie and Keyshia Cole
Posted on January 24, 2009 3:20 PM
Keyshia Cole has teamed up with director Benny Boom again for her latest single "You Complete Me". Check out the video, as well as new joints from J. Holiday and Ryan Leslie below:
I love this song but feel like it took forever to get a video done. How beautiful was that setting though? It's nice to see Keyshia take a break from doing the beach thing.
Next up to bat, Ryan Leslie has his second video for "How it Was Supposed to Be," which is actually my favorite out of the three vids I'm posting today. I didn't like the first video he did for this but I love this one. He gets bonus points for being so creative. Oh and Tyson Beckford makes an appearance and co-directs. Watch below:
How It Was Supposed To Be (Military Version) from Ryan Leslie on Vimeo
Love it! If he keeps doing stuff like this I could see the album really taking off. Here is what he has to say about the video:
First, I had a concept that I shared with Shiv and the two of us fine tuned it into a treatment. I shopped it to some directors and when they told me how much they expected it to cost ($200K), I decided to direct it myself to give my staff an incredible learning experience. Two weeks into the planning and production process, I ran into Tyson Beckford at the G-star fashion show and invited him to direct the video with me. I could write a book about the production of this video - scripting, rehearsal, styling, filming, editing, sound design, color-correction..."It definitely paid off Ryan. His album hits stores February 10th.
And the FINAL video for J. Holiday's "It's Yours" has arrived. It premiered on MySpace yesterday. Watch it below:

That one was directed by famed photographer Jonathan Mannion. He did several of J.Holiday's videos ("Bed,""Suffocate") off his first album. J. Holiday's sophomore album Round 2 hits stores March 10th.
So what did you guys think about the videos? Anybody got a favorite? Talk to me y'all!
