Check out this recently released video of Kanye West’s “Flashing Lights” featuring Dwele. This video is totally different from previous versions, and gives more of a spooky story. Its pretty cool, but I favor the first video better.
“Flashing Lights” is the third single off of Kanye’s album Graduation, which is in stores now.
I loved this video the most. The first was cool still didn’t understand it (the chick was hot though), the second one was a little better I really didn’t get that one. The third one is great, the third times a charm that video was great I have to watch it again!
I like the video, have no idea wtf is going on but i like it. and Sesilee Lopez looks gorgeous!!!
THE MODEL IN THIS VIDEO IS SUPERMODEL SESSILEE LOPEZ!
Here’ her interpretation from her blog…
If you look carefully, you will see that Kanye is chasing me throughout the entire video. The first shot of me is walking through the mist then there’s a reflection of me walking pass the mirror that is next to the maid. Most of the video is Kanye looking for me. I am in silhouette for most of the video. You will see me standing in the doorway (I am wearing a floor-length couture gown the entire video – actually it’s several gowns worn together). When Kanye falls asleep he begins to dream (dream sequence); that’s when you see a close-up of me and I sing. It appears that he suspects me as the killer and my maid, as my accomplice. At some point, a man is falsely accused and Kanye runs to stop him then you see quick flashes of me perhaps as the killer. My little boy helps to clean up the mess and knows what is about to happen. Kanye touches my hand through the sheet at the end before going out the window. (An interpretation) –– This video was shot on-location in Berlin, Germany.
Ye has done it again lol!!
I love the first version alot too, and would appreciate it if he would elaborate on the first one. This version was dope.
i Jus DOnt geT wats GoIn On… bUt I guess ITs KOOL bUt UMM yeah i would have liked to c where the first one was going….
I absolutely love this video…much better than the first one.
I don’t know if he’s still conflicted as a result of his mother’s passing…and these videos are a statement to where his head is at the moment, but this is a great way of stepping it up and proving that music can be appreciated, despite the lack of breasts and a$$.
Remember Michael Jackson…and how he always pushed the envelope w/ his videos…remember how we longed to see the “world premieres”? Yay is filling in that void…and I CONGRATULATE him on a job well done!
Keep up the great work Yay West!

i hated this vidoe it’s 2 dark n weird n don’t make sense with the song! He needs to do over n OV3r Again!!!
Can you sit here and call this music, we (TY&&MEGAnne) call beats like this Curious, because it is odd, you wanrt to listen to it because it is Kanye west and you expect it to be AMAZING, it leaves you wanting more, and the song gets (annoyingly) stuck in your head.
MEGAnne: It is quite good though, i can lsiten to it, but maybe we will like it more if we replay it. TO DO: Try listening to it many times.
TY: Yeah…Maybe…I don’t know, i don’t think so, how i wish to look into the future eh?
TY
Contrary, to what most comments. I think the video makes perfect sense. I believe he is trying to show that this song only has double entendre ,but a third meaning as well. With each meaning be showcased in each video, Brilliant!

I don’t get it…. but it was definitely creative.
Just saw it without sound. But looking at it, it reminds me of a board game I used to play when I was younger ‘Cluedo’. A very artstic video. Love it.
Best video I’ve ever seen. No joke.
love the song… graduation is an awesome album overall. i’m not hating, maybe i jus dun understand the concept behind them but i haven’t really liked any of the videos to be honest…
