I had the privilege of interviewing rising R&B superstar Deon Wilson earlier last year and what I noticed about this artist was that he is an incredible hard worker, who puts his best foot forward in order to stand out in the overcrowding recording industry.
Recently, Deon released a new music video for his latest single: “Super Woman,” which is one of his tracks out of his highly anticipated album: Still Deon, which is anticipated drop sometime this year.
The “Super Woman” music videos plot focuses on the Denver-based singer and his relationship with his “Super Woman” girlfriend (portrayed by music video co-writer Trina Murrell Salaiz). From successful date nights over at his place to his girlfriend trying to distract him from playing video games, both of them have incredible chemistry and deeply love each other.
However, just as Deon was about to propose to her, the duo encounters a violent thug, who attacks Deon and knocks him out cold. Deon’s girlfriend proves that she is a “Super Woman” by standing by her man as they rush him to the hospital, where he reveals his engagement ring to her while he is in radiology.
ShapeShift Films’ Vince Lance made sure that he perfectly followed Deon’s vision and the screenplay by Salaiz and her co-writer Jason Yackov. In addition to Lance’s superb directing, Salaiz and Yackov created an intriguing story that is not normally featured in the current music video market. They also made a lot of positive references including showcasing romantic notions that puts them in a different league than in some R&B/Hip-hop videos that are provocative and derogatory.
When fans have a chance to watch the “Super Woman” music video, they will be treated with crisp and clear audio. Audio control is one of the crucial elements that you need in a successful music video and it does not disappoint. Viewers will be in for a shock once they listen to Deon’s powerful falsetto that is sprinkled throughout the video.
The only problem that viewers will have with this video is the transitions. A heavy transition that is featured in the video is Deon and his “Super Woman” hanging out together in black and white. By having those sequences being filmed in black or white, it threw off the rhythm of the music video. Deon and Vince should have recorded those transitions in color to match the entire music video.
Final thoughts and review: Despite the transitions, the music video showcases Deon at his best vocally and his terrific chemistry with his “Super Woman.” Hopefully, there will be more music videos like this one when Still Deon is released later this year. A-
