Sometimes, simplicity is the best option. Janelle Monáe's new video for "Cold War", off of her album The ArchAndroid, is as simple as you can get. The video shows a close up of Monáe as she sings the lyrics to the single. Behind her is a completely black background with zero props. The video was shot in one take and let's the viewer see Janelle at a vulnerable position. She loses her composure half way through the song as she sings the lyrics, "I was made to believe there's something wrong with me / And it hurts my heart". It's very raw and emotional. "Cold War" is Sinéad O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U" for the modern day.
