VIDEO: BEHIND THE SCENES OF KANYE WEST’S “POWER”
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 video is set to premiere Thursday at 11 p.m.

i hope he sells a billion albums jus to see how much ish he gont talk about it but the video was too boring to watch
he stole that woman in the background from 300
Umm ..
Hardly any minorities in the presentation. Why is beauty, interest of the mysterious and the marvelous limited to white people in most artistic presentations.
…..LOOKS EPIC!
Wow, Kanye have lost his mind,literally.
—The video should be very powerful…..and sublime.
@sayitmeanit #11 …
I think it’s a great observation you make and question you pose. I truly wish more people on this blog (and in general) applied critical thinking to the videos and music and art they consume.
The predominance of white bodies and/or cultural images (or lack of minority representation) in this video may be a deliberate choice or carry deeper significance… ‘power’ has been associated with the ‘white man’ globally and historically so maybe Kanye wants to create some sort of irony or juxtaposition in order to create a broader message.
I could be completely wrong but just a thought as I watched the ‘behind-the-scenes’ one…
Nevertheless, I definitely would hope that there is some kind of thought behind a choice like that rather than them using ‘white-ness’ as a means to convey mystery, beauty, etc.. as you mentioned.
Can’t wait to see the actual video.
peace.
He just tryna win best video at a major award show or brag about how much the video cost! heeee hee he!
