Those of you who know about vintage looking film effects....what is that thing on the left hand side midway on the CTY vid that you can see thru? It kinda "bothers" me....lol. Looks like it's on the camera lens. I would say it's there in error but what do I know. Of course, it's deliberate.

Closer to you we’ll prob be the next radio single. Signs are obvious. Great choice too. Very bluesey and soulful. Reminds me a bit of Eltons Rocketman with an emotive touch. Adam showed with GT. He can generate big numbers. I think it’s the music.

My opinion on how Adam should move forward, in case he cares to increase his fandom/audiences ... Adam should sing "Closer To You" the next couple times he gets the chance to perform on TV again, and I would advise him to drop the tacky outfits and accessories and just sing. It could be another "Mad World" or "Believe" moment. Strong statement, I know, but I am actually tempted to tell Adam the same thing, in case he cared to listen to fan feedback. He connects best when the focus is on his singing. (I realize that Adam can do whatever he wants, but I can't shake the feeling that those "numbers" aren't unimportant to him. SP is a real fun song, just like all the other gems on Velvet, however I believe that Adam would connect much better with CTY in a live TV performance. Play at your strength, Adam, and come back with a fresh look!) I agree with a lot of what you said. But without a major behind him, and getting him on big streaming playlists, he is not going to get those numbers again. Without a lot of radio play, he won't get them no matter how good the material. I think this music is some of his best yet. I love CTY but SP is now on the radio and he will likely try to push it. SP doing well will probably determine if CTY gets a chance. But if I never see another dancer in a video, club scene or around Adam (I love his organic dance moves tho) I will be fine, lol. CTY is the type of song that would connect and I agree his "Believe" but he seems to think fans just want to dance. Sometimes we want to cry. HA. With that voice, I think he sells emotion and beauty so much better and it could reach more fans.

I was firmly focused on his face lol. Same haha. Watched it a couple times when I got out of the gym and only paid attention to his face, and then I played it in the car a few times only listening. I almost cried. A piece of heaven.

Watch this and read the description. I'm not sure what it's called though. They have a bit more on their website. It mostly is made to look like it was filmed in 8 mm or 16 mm.

I think it may be an homage to Super 8mm film popular in the 60s and 70s. See the one-sided cut-out. The title of the second shot is "music-video-super-8-drake-in-my-feelings-beyonce" from an article: Super 8 film has taken over music videoswww.thefader.com/2018/09/14/music-video-super-8-drake-in-my-feelings-beyonce
