I’ve been a Cazwell fan for years. I’ve partied at his shindigs all over late-night Manhattan, I’ve loved his trippy/freaky-fun raps, and I’ve loved his Amanda Lepore collaborations. And I even loved him guest-starring on the season finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race this past spring. Anyone who can coax a “Face, face, face, I give face…” out of Bebe Zahara Benet is a champ, thanks.
And I really like his new video for his single “Tonight.” First, there’s the Shannon “Give Me Tonight” sample, which simply rules. The world needs more Shannon, and it needs it served right, not like that lame-ass Jordin Sparks catastrophe.
Second, whoever the amazingly hot/sweaty/sprinting girl-boy is that Cazwell is pursuing throughout the video, she’s scorchingly fierce. And drop dead gorgeous. As the video opened I was like “Ummm, why is Cazwell macking on this girl?” And then… I got it. Hello. Fantastic.
Third, the video is a late-night relay race all over NYC, which I always love. It’s like Run Lola Run meets Party Monster. Praise!
Want more Cazwell? Watch him talking about his new CD (full of oldies and new tunes) in a fresh interview. And buy his stuff!
P.S. Last night a bunch of mad queens assembled in NYC (including the kids of Vogue Evolution from America’s Best Dance Crew) to shoot Caz’s next video, for the single “Give Me My Money Back.” Expect that insanity soon.
Til then, you’ve got “Tonight.”
