English alternative rock band Muse have unleashed a brand new tour video for heavy-handed anthem, "Follow Me," the third single from their sixth studio effort, "The 2nd Law." Over the past decade, Muse, the self-serious English trio have emerged as one of the UK's biggest musical exports and throughout their career, it's always been clear that Muse aren't satisfied to just do the same thing over and over again.
Their latest "The 2nd Law" is no exception, and British mega-rockers continue to shake things up, diving deeper into the electronic rabbit hole as they experiment. While adding a dollop of reverb to "Follow Me" enhances the track's doom-sodden message of clinging to strength from a dark place. In the bronze position, the consolatory "Follow Me" piles on the rave dynamics and dubstep nods in another bow to the maximalist productions of the chart mainstream.
"Follow Me" contains a bit more electronic dance like synth tracks and influences from dubstep, and the instrumental elements from band's previous two studio albums. The song is about "having a baby and all that." Muse lead vocalist Matt Bellamy wrote this song about his baby son, Bingham, after his fiancée, actress Kate Hudson, gave birth to the child on July 9. The ode to fatherhood kicks off with a sample of Bingham's heartbeat, which Bellamy recorded on an iPhone just before he was born. "Follow Me" is 'Map Of The Problematique' reimagined as a love song with dubstep wobbles, and their excursions into dubstep and dance music on "Follow Me" feel more like remixes than original songs.
Consisting of live footage from Muse's smoky, multi-colored stage show, the clip gets off to a slow start, as Bellamy ambles through bland imagery before the three-piece blasts off into its patented hybrid of electronic blips and arena rock. The live concert setting amongst a laser light show and an overly enthusiastic crowd helps to capture the energy of the electro-driven song, which has techno-tinged choruses and even a couple of dubstep-alluding synth dives. The crowds soon follow suit, pulsating from the Sheer Importance of the song.
