Here’s a behind the scenes look at Kanye West’s new video for “Power”, the first single from his currently untitled fifth album, directed by artist Marco Brambilla.
Brambilla explained:
“I’ve always wanted to do something that would visualize power, to do a portrait of what power would look like in a sort of timeless way and being able to have him framed in that portrait — essentially doing a video portrait of Kanye as a symbol of power was very consistent with my art practice and what I explore in my artwork.”

The new single, “Can’t Be Friends,” is the follow-up to the Nicki Minaj-assisted first single, “Bottoms Up,” which Trey revealed last night, on BET’s 106 & Park, has video shot in Miami premiering in the near future.
Trey will promote the new album while touring with R&B sensation Monica, with project hitting stores September 14th, via Atlantic Records.
Aretha Franklin has broken two ribs after a fall at her home in Detroit this past Sunday. The Queen of Soul has had to postpone some free concerts that were scheduled in New York next week, according to a statement from her office.
The 68 year-old suffered abdominal pain and has been advised by doctors to undergo further medical tests.
“I was very much looking forward to being in Brooklyn and having a foot-long hot dog at Coney Island,” she said in a statement. “Hopefully, I will get it before the end of August.” [ SOURCE: DETROIT NEWS ]
Franklin said she hopes to reschedule the New York shows for late August.
