Broken hearts don't matter when you're in paradise. And for Snoop Lion and Rita Ora, who made an escape to a tropical paradise where they soak up the Thai culture, sun, water, and dance on the beach in the feel-good video for their rosy-sounding heartbreak duet, "Torn Apart," which appearing on Snoop's latest 12th studio album, "Reincarnated," which has released in April, and marked a departure for Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. from his days of Snoop Dogg to Snoop Lion. The album, which focused on a reggae sound rather than Snoop's traditional rap vibe.
The 41-year-old reborn reggae musician has steadily rolled out new records and definitely settled into his new persona with fully embraced the laid-back vibe of reggae music. A definite cross-cultural experience, with the reggae sounds and Southeast Asian scenery, "Torn Apart" is a light-hearted summer tune. The 22-year-old British-Kosovo singer's strong vocals provide a great contrast to Snoop's chilled singsong verses and the track's thumping horns. The summery visual goes really well with this reggae-infused track and captures the song's mellow and relaxed groove as the two convene with a crew of indigenous dancers where they all shake it to the reggae-tinged beat.
Shot instagram-style and live from Thailand, the video begins with Snoop and Rita cozying up at a bar during their exotic getaway, recalling their fond memories of an amazing summer gone by in a black-and-white vintage filter. The clip quickly changes to color footage of the duo frolicking on the idyllic picturesque beaches and tropical scenery, mingling with the local traditional dancers and doing summery things like playing in the waves, throwing back brewskies, and jamming to some warm weather-appropriate reggae, while some Thai kickboxers working out in a swimming pool - perhaps an homage to Thai culture?
As the Major Lazer-crafted beat pulsates in the background, the energetic songstress wears a series of floaty summer outfits, jewels and bikinis seems to have got into the holiday spirit, is evidently enjoying herself and also manages to hop onto the back of an elephant for a quick ride, and swimming underwater, while the video also features the two write their names in the sand, then the video switches back to black-and-white with Snoop waking up as if from a dream. It's pretty much your perfect "fun in the sun" dream Thai vacation, only with perfect bodies and probably a five-star resort to go home to when you're profusely sweating and craving some air conditioning.
