3 Years Late But Here’s Will.I.Am’s “Smile Mona Lisa” Music Video… And It’s So Bizarre! (Co-Starring Nicole Scherzinger)
I don’t know what I just watched but I kind of liked it! (and it’s something will.i.am made!)
The Black Eyed Peas star, who keeps playing the solo game, paying dust to the hip-hop group, premiered today, April 12th, his “will.i.am au Louvre” documentary on Dailymotion. This doc is basically footage of will.i.am taken on a tour throughout the famous museum in Paris by the museum’s senior curator. What’s the point of this must-be-skipped documentary I don’t know… This poor curator lost his precious time filming something that I know for sure nobody will watch. I mean, it’s freaking will.i.am at the Louvre!
However, although this documentary is a miss, what’s kind of a “hit” is the music video will.i.am simultaneously to promote the doc. And no, it wasn’t an alternate video to “Boys & Girls”, nor a video to a new song of his, it was the music video for that song called “Smile Mona Lisa” that he included on his 2013 “#willpower” solo album. Although, for this newly-premiered video, will.i.am has included an updated version of the song (new production). Nicole Scherzinger’s opera-style singing in the chorus remains the same, and in fact, she appears in this music video too!
3 years “late” but OK! (did will.i.am just break a record for shooting a music video for a song so old?) Watch it below:
will.i.am’s face digitally added to several paintings in the Louvre and Nicole “doing” the Mona Lisa. Oh my!
Super bizarre yet creative at the same time, huh? It fits the song!
What do you think of the video?
