New Music Set Design
Sir - Satisfaction
Sir’s new single is a fusion of my favorite things: good music, beautiful women and flawless set design. Below I’m sharing still shots from the official music video, which features a female director, production designer, and cinematographer.
The production designer dreams up the world where the story takes place and dictates how the production crew will build this world. The director writes the treatment for the video and instructs the crew and actors in executing the vision. The cinematographer, also known as director of photography, hones the mood of the video with lighting, angles, etc.
Shout out to Jude Liana, director
Terry Watson, production designer
Tehillah De Castro, director of photography
These ladies delivered.
Commitment Issues
The video tells the story of three women Sir's involved with. They seem to be interchangeable, one replacing the next on the couch with Sir. He may have real feelings for these women, but he certainly can’t give them what they need.
Lack of commitment is a recurring theme in Sir’s music. As far back as Seven Sundays, released in 2015, he’s been adamant about letting women know he won’t be around forever. In “Falling,” he admits that he
“should’ve never got involved.
I don’t have a heart to break.
She was unaware
that this was never fair
and love was never here.”
Sir immediately sets a similar tone with this new release:
”Love me today,
leave me tomorrow”
following up shortly after with
“This was never meant to be what it feels like.”
The Bathtub
The bathroom is accessorized with stacked stones, Moroccan-style hanging lamps and large windows that open to the night.
The Sheers
'“I wish I could stay in your arms.”
This scene appears to be shot after dark and lit from the outside.
A garden in bloom lies on the other side of the white sheers.
The Hallway
There’s something haunting about this corridor.
It’s draped with red curtains that puddle on the ground, glowing with orange light coming from the kitchen. The camera trails behind Sir until he ‘s met by a woman telling him to GTFO….. Which begs the question, whose house is it anyway? The only constant in the space is Sir, so we might assume it belongs to him. If so, he’s not the first or the last man to be kicked out his own damn house.
The Living Room
Sir is clearly troubled in the living room scene. He’s hardly present with his women while they shower him in affection. Is it guilt we see in his face? Regret? Heartbreak?
Big shout out to Sir, Top Dawg Entertainment and the production crew responsible for this work. R&B lovers rejoice everytime we get new heat from Sir. We’d love if this single is a whisper from a new album. 👀
