The best music video of 2021
What was the best music video in 2021? Check out our selection of the songs with the best video released this year.
The best music videos are more than just a promotional tool for a new release. They’re a chance for the artist to show a bit more of their personality and completely let loose creatively – and in 2021 that’s exactly what we saw from the top videos released this year.
In 2021 there were a vast range of excellent videos, some as simple as a single camera angle in the back of a taxi, to sumptuous sets in elaborately shot country houses. There were big-budget videos with trippy visuals, and blink-and-you’ll-miss-it injections of humour.
Here are 13 top music videos we watched this year.
Lizzo – Rumors feat. Cardi B
Silk Sonic – Smokin Out The Window
Tinashe – Bouncin’
Architects – Meteor
Lana Del Rey – Chemtrails Over the Country Club
Tyler, The Creator – LUMBERJACK
Avril Lavigne – Bite Me
Little Simz – Woman (ft. Cleo Sol)
Rostam – From The Back Of A Cab
Megan Thee Stallion – Thot Shit
Drake ft. Future and Young Thug – Way 2 Sexy
Celeste – Tonight Tonight
Which is your favourite? Personally I love the 70s aesthetic and smooth moves of Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars in Silk Sonic.
