london’s eugene mcguinness just dropped this new single and the accompanying video. it’s nothing ground breaking, but videos rarely look this good and damn, if those background dancers aren’t fun as hell to watch. the video borders on intimidating, it’s so sharp and stylized and mcguinness’s attitude is unshakable. not to mention, ladies (or men) – the man can wear a suit. enjoy.
