The new Neon Jungle video is all quite nice, BUT…

  • November 5, 2014
  • Popjustice

Above these words you will see the video for Neon Jungle's next single 'Can't Stop The Love'. The song features your friend and ours Snob Scrilla, but the video features loads of footage of Neon Jungle fans singing and 'larking about' (alongside The Jungle and Scrillo).

It's better than Kitty Brucknell's attempt at the same thing and it conjures a pleasing 'X Factor ad break' feel, but it could have been three times better.

Basically in the final thirty seconds of the video, while Neon Jungle are singing their song in a poshly filmed studio location, all the fans and char­ac­ters we've grown to know during the course of the video should appear behind the girls, sing along and be hugged by the band etc.

That's it. Thirty seconds that capture the magic of pop and the magic of pop fandom. Fans and idols are not so far away after all. The internet is real life. Anything is possible. Blah blah bloody blah. Total cost: a few train fares and an Iceland buffet.

ALSO

While we're here, let's just have a proper look at the latest incarn­a­tion of Amira's hair.

This is almost certainly the pop haircut against which all other 2014 pop haircuts can and must be judged. Good work Amira.
