Today we’ll talk about the best music videos of domestic artists that were presented in 2018. These videos gained tens of millions of views, because the best clip makers worked on their creation, and famous media personalities took part in the filming.
We enjoyed these songs all of the past year, like and leave enthusiastic comments, and now we can summarize and highlight the best of the best.
Presenting the top 10 best clips of Russian artists of 2018.
10. LOBODA - SuperSTAR
In the summer of 2018, the popular Ukrainian singer Svetlana Loboda presented a clip for the song SuperSTAR. The audio version of the single gained 26 million views, after which fans began to look forward to the video. As a result, their expectation was more than justified, because this video has everything: passionate dances, provocative motifs and very effective Svetlana Loboda.
9. MONATIK & Nadia Dorofeeva - Deep
To immerse the viewer in the right atmosphere, the creator of the video, Tanya Muigno, decided to shoot a video in Cannes, in the house of the famous fashion designer Pierre Cardin. 28 bubble rooms, creative images of the main characters and professional dancing did their job - this clip became one of the most popular among the Russian-speaking audience in 2018.
8. Max Barsky - Make It Louder
In this video, the singer appeared in front of the audience in an unexpected image of a hipster. The atmosphere of the whole video sequence has much in common with Bernard Werber’s novel “Empire of Angels”. The theme of reincarnation is spiced up with spectacular underground scenes and incendiary dances.
The director of the video was the popular Ukrainian clip maker (and concurrently producer Max) Alan Badoev. He managed to create a creative clip that only emphasized the sound of a talented artist.
According to Max Barsky himself, the video refers to a man who, giving in to a rush, decides to “turn the page” of his life. This hero has much in common with the singer himself, because Max, too, at one time committed many desperate acts, thanks to which his life underwent serious changes.
7. Hannah - Won't Come Back
In this video, the singer tells about love and betrayal, which brings very severe pain. In addition, Hannah urges women and girls, despite their love for their halves, not to endure cruel treatment to them.
The clip was shot in the USA. According to its creators, the video is a complex love story in which many women can recognize themselves.
6. Denis Klyaver - When You Get Big
In this video, Denis Klyaver managed to collect a truly stellar cast, because the most famous fathers in our country took part in it, including Alexander Pushnoy, Emin Agalarov, Stas Piekha, Valery Meladze and others.
The singer himself admits that he wanted to express his great love for his children with this video. Denis managed to encourage fathers to devote as much time as possible to communicating with their children, who are growing very fast.
5. MATRANG - Jellyfish
The plot of the clip “Medusa” is entirely based on fashion trends and has many similarities with the Oscar-winning painting “The Form of Water” by Guillermo del Toro.
In this video, Matrang played an amphibian man who was subjected to various kinds of experiments by the research team. Scientists see in the protagonist only a subject for research, not paying attention to his feelings. The main theme of the clip is the hostility of the crowd towards unlike them and the eternal search for love.
4. Burito - Take Off
The protagonist of the video for the song Burrito “Take Off” is a boy who dreams that his dad, who devotes all his free time to talking with the TV, paid little attention to his son and played with him.
However, the silent prayers of the child go unnoticed by the father. Then the child decides to vent his grudge on the surrounding objects: he tears books to pieces, breaks toys, tramples berries. Misunderstanding of the father brings in a small soul aggression throughout the world, which in the future can lead to the most terrible consequences.
Alas, in reality, everything does not always end as well as in the video, where the father, in the end, still managed to understand what kind of pain the parental indifference inflicts on his own son.
3. Timati feat. Egor Creed - Gucci
In the spring of 2018, Yegor Creed and Timati presented their new single to the public. The video for the song “Gucci” has become one of the most controversial and provocative videos shot throughout the life of the Black Star brand. However, some of the scandalous videos in many ways became the reason for its mega popularity. More than 5 million people watched this video on YouTube in a day.
Here, the performers of the song raised several topics at the same time, while it seems that this video is just one big banter. So, for example, Timati and Creed did not disregard the representatives of the new generation of hip-hop culture, our football players and the Gucci brand also got it.
2. Philip Kirkorov - The color of the mood is blue
This work of the king of the Russian stage turned out to be very funny. The video sequence is in good harmony with the music and the plot of the song, so this clip received mostly positive ratings, both from critics and from ordinary fans of Philip's work.
In fact, Kirkorov is always quite responsible in creating his own videos. And this time everything turned out, as it were, not very seriously, making it very easy to watch the video.
This song sounded all year from all possible devices and even got into advertising. An uncomplicated text and a fresh melody ensured its performer a leading position in all domestic musical ratings. What's the secret? Only Philip knows.
1. Jah Khalib - Medina
This is a very large-scale project! Director Aisultan Seitov created a real historical action, and not another beautiful and meaningless picture, which is now countless on television. Everything is here: authentic outfits of the heroes of the video, impressive scenery and battle scenes exciting with their realism.
The main character in the video played the role of a medieval nomad warrior who engages in an unequal battle with the forces of evil for the sake of his love.
