Jessie Reyez ft. Lil Wayne - RIDIN | Music Video of the Week

Music Video of the Week: "RIDIN" by Jessie Reyez ft. Lil Wayne, directed by Relta.

RIDIN’ brings a distinctive visual style to Jessie Reyez’s track, blending surreal imagery with captivating cinematography to reflect the song’s themes of desire and escape. One of the most striking elements of the video is its use of levitation shots. In an early scene, Reyez is seen lying on a bed before she begins to float, eventually drifting into the Toronto skyline.

The video takes a turn when Jessie Reyez crashes her car into a house, shifting the setting to Lil Wayne, who lounges on a green sofa. The visuals throughout are dynamic, using shifting perspectives and tracking shots to enhance the atmosphere.

RIDIN’ stands out for how it uses visual storytelling to enhance the song’s theme, with inventive direction and striking imagery that showcase how a music video can elevate a song.
