Marlhy: R.I.P. (2020 Music Video)
4/10
Very dead, indeed
19 May 2024
Only got word of this video as it was listed as one of model Ash Stymest credits, and sadly he's barely there. Here's a complete waste of anything, really, but specially of his looks and presence. Not his fault, obviously. But I wonder what was he doing there in the "story"? Marlhy plays a young woman wearing a Wonder Woman outfit while cleaning up her kitchen and singing about the farewell's one gives after living a bad relationship. Ash appears for a couple of seconds, ridiculously brief shots where it's hard to tell if he's the ex-boyfriend or the garbage man who came to pick up the trash. Boring!

I don't know who's the singer and couldn't possibly care less about the song, that has some good bites with the lyrics but it's hardly something I'd listen. If developing a career on the field, some notes she should've learn while making a music video (if I'm not mistaken the idea of it all was hers as well). The notes, tips: when hiring a model, famous or not, give him something to do or also something you'd like to imagine doing with him: seduction, dancing, acting bits, and also some proper time of appearance. Don't need exactly to "perform" sexual acts but find ways to tease the audience, seduce and destroy. Look what Madonna and Brittany conquered with their male models - ok, different level of star power since they revealed their men to the world rather than having someone already established in the fashion scene. But still. Poor dude was non existent and it's a shame, as the other videos he'd appeared he was better used.

But the girl looks pretty fine in her costume. I get the idea of it all, the power withing herself in others after a series of dull affairs or lame relationships. It serves the song's purpose. The presentation of it all looked cheaper than a B movie. 4/10.
