Spada & Elen Levon - "Cool Enough"

Pretty young things aspire to embrace their basest desires by stealing cars, flaunting their goodies, and participating in a variety of girl-on-girl promiscuity, all with the mafiosal grace of the most elegant Real Housewive of New Jersey.

If this Video Pick's cover image and the above synopsis aren't enough indication, let me be clear: Spada & Elen Levon's international dance-pop smash hit "Cool Enough" is extremely sexy... almost too sexy... until you realize that's the point.

Despite coming across as a commercial for Europe's most prestigious barely legal sex factory (a tall order indeed), nestled deeply in the overt barrage of full-on sexuality that seemingly defines this video is an unexpected message: you'll never, ever, be cool enough, and the more earnestly you attempt to personify coolness incarnate, the more your soul is doomed to the deep abyss of the endless cycle of external validation.

But for real though - did you see that part where they licked that ice cream cone at the same time?!?!?

So hot bro.

So cool.

  • MILLY - "Bittersweet Mary"
    MILLY - "Bittersweet Mary" “I think about death all the time.” Almost ironic for someone called Brendan Dyer. Principal songwriter and singer of the indie rock, shoegaze band MILLY, Dyer lays his hushed vocals over a bed of heavy guitar riffs while singing about both love and death. In their freshly released third LP… Read more

  • DREAM THEATER, NIGHT TERROR
    DREAM THEATER, NIGHT TERROR When the video for "Night Terror" was released, I did myself the injustice of reading a ton of related social media posts prior to listening to the track out right. I saw everything from 'Best Song Ever' to 'Total Disappointment' and everything in between. Who would have thought a new… Read more
