In this week’s MV Rec we are sharing an underrated gem that more people need to listen to. Rad Museum is an amazing singer, and his music is super good. Do yourself a favor and listen to his releases here, if you are into R&B I’m sure you have stumbled upon one of his songs.
Now let’s go back to the MV Rec. ‘Wet Umbrella / This Night’ was a creative vision by Rad Museum himself, and stunningly directed by Park Hyeongjun, this music video is divided in two parts, the first part are the visuals for ‘Wet Umbrella’ with more vulnerable and emotional aesthetics and beautiful shots.
The second part belongs to ‘This Night’. In this one there is more alternative direction and filming, the visuals come straight out of a painting or an unconventional video editorial for a fashion magazine, and it is absolutely stunning.
You can watch this music video below.
There’s only a couple of people on the Internet to talk about this guy so I’ll leave this here- I’ve seen comments referencing this MV to “The English Patient” and I’m wondering if you feel any linkage to it too!
Hi! Thanks so much for your comment.
We think it’s an interesting comparison. We can kind of see the parallels, however it’s mostly the colour scheme and the one scene where he’s carrying her after the plane crash.
Though we feel that it draws more from the biblical story. For example, the scene where Rad Museum is being carried and the scene at 2:41 is similar to the statue ‘Pieta’ by Michelangelo referencing Jesus in the lap of Maria after the crucifixion.
We’re not entirely sure how the song lyrics correlate to the biblical sense of the music video, but it’s an interesting concept to think about.
Again, thank you for the comment we had a lengthy discussion about this one.
Lots of love,
the M.E.A.L. team
