Austin Mahone Releases ‘MMM Yeah’ Video, Fans Sing His Praise On Twitter
Austin Mahone has a brand new music video on the market. The singer is no doubt hoping that fans around the world will cram it into their brains more than once.
If the clip for the singer’s collaboration with Pitbull looks familiar, then it’s probably because you spent a lot of time watching music videos back in the mid-90s. The folks at Billboard point out that “MMM Yeah” borrows heavily from Jamiroquai’s “Virtual Insanity” video, a clip that got plenty of rotation back in the day.
However, it’s doubtful that Austin Mahone remembers much about MTV in 1996. After all, the guy was just an infant when Jamiroquai was enjoying success on the cable network. However, this apparently didn’t stop Mahone from giving his approval for the homage.
“MMM Yeah” wasn’t nearly as successful as some of Austin Mahone’s previous musical endeavors. According to the aforementioned publication, the song stalled at number 60 on the Hot 100 charts. However, there’s always a chance the music video could help give it a new lease on life.
Although fans definitely love what Austin Mahone and Pitbull have pieced together, the folks at MTV News points out that nobody thinks the clip is better than Jamiroquai’s effort.
“No one is suggesting that ‘MMM Yeah’ is in the same league as ‘Virtual Insanity,’ the rare video that combined cutting-edge tech with pure showmanship — both from Jay Kay and director Jonathan Glazer — to create something entirely new: a genuine work of art,” the website explained.
