Music Video Roundup: The Weeknd, Pharrell, and Mary J. Blige

The Weeknd, “Secrets”

Filmed inside the Toronto Reference Library, The Weeknd and an unnamed man vie for the same woman’s attention as they, and others, wander through its breathtaking streamlined and symmetrical structure.

Pharrell, “Yellow Light”

The Despicable Me 3 soundtrack cut gets a video game-inspired treatment as Pharrell and a handful of pixelated Minions walk a neighborhood collecting points in bananas before heading underground and encountering villain Balthazar Bratt.

Mary J. Blige, “Strength of a Woman”

Serving simultaneously as a promotional clip for TNT’s new series Claws, show footage is spliced with MJB performing on a rooftop over a night’s city skyline.
