Grab your popcorn; Kanye is back with a new video! Unlike his controversial “Famous” video, this time the 39-year-old rapper goes black and white in the dark “Wolves” video. Following the release of he and his wife’s cover on Bazaar Magazine earlier this week, without any notice or alert, Kanye released the video on Friday (Jul. 29). Directed by Steven Klein, the video features Kanye himself, along with his wife, Kim Kardashian-West, the song’s featured artists, Sia and Vic Mensa, and many Balmain models. According to Billboard, “The new Life of Pablo visuals are shot in stark black and white as director Steven Klein captures a runway show seemingly under an eerie full moon, the models coming alive like wolves in the night.”
The video is seven minutes long and also features cameos from others like, Maria Borges Kylie Jenner, Cindy Crawford, and Balmain creative director, Oliver Rousteing. This isn’t the first time we’ve associated Rousteing with the likes of Kim and Ye. Complex states, both Rousteing and Kanye are “mutual fans” of each other.
As the music begins, models, dramatically dressed head to toe in Balmain begin to walk down this pitch-black runway. As they continue to walk and strut their stuff, Kanye emerges in the center and walks through them. As he begins singing his verse, he appears in the center with tears running down his eyes. Throughout the video, Kim and Kanye are seen wearing the same grandiose, glistening Balmain outfits that they wore to the 2016 Met Gala. The video also appears to show glimpses of what looks like the Balmain Met Gala after-party. While the video is immersed with dark and gloomy vibes, the video possesses such beauty and artistic excellence. From the models with tears pouring down their faces, Vic and Sia’s powerful presence, to Kanye eerily walking behind Kim everything about the video is great. As it ends, The Balmain logo appears briefly before the credits start rolling.
The video strategically serves as an ad to promote Kanye’s newly announced campaign with high fashioned clothing company, Balmain. Kanye is the star of the brand’s fall/winter 2016 campaign. Neither Kanye nor Kim (or the Kardashian family in general) is new to Balmain. Both Kanye and Kim have been seen publicly wearing the brand on multiple occasions, one in particular at the 2016 Met Gala. This is Kanye’s second campaign with the brand. While he was featured with his wife in the first campaign, he’s completely solo in this newest campaign. According to Complex, “West stars in the ad with model Joan Smalls wearing a version of the custom beaded-jacket he wore to this year’s Met Gala.”
The video shows the genius and greatness that is Kanye West. The choice of black and white enhances the theme in the video. The outfits are stunning and flashy (as we expect in anything that involves Kanye), and the imagery is very bold and beautiful. He delivered yet again and also reminded us all why he is one of the most innovative, creative artists of our time. This is simply the beginning for Mr. West. His “Saint Pablo Tour” will begin at the end of August and push to November. Tickets are still available for purchase on Kanye’s website, kanyewest.com. Until then, watch Ye’s newest video, “Wolves” here!
