After teasing the music video for days on her Twitter and Instagram, Britney Spears has finally released sexy music video for her beautiful Sia-penned power-ballade "Perfume," the official follow-up to her first "Work Bitch" and therefore the second official offering, which is a shining light on the otherwise mediocre eighth studio album "Britney Jean," got a fitting video tribute, which features the femme fatale at her most vulnerable, trying to win the affections of her sexy onscreen love interest - played by model Alexander Kjellevik - who's really nothing more than a "womanizer."
Speaking with Alan Carr on his Chatty Man talk show, Spears explained: "It's about a girl that knows her boyfriend is cheating on her. She just wants him to smell her perfume so she can mark her territory on him; it's a really beautiful song." Spears also told E! News about the ballad, "'Perfume' is incredibly special to me because it hits close to home, and I think the story is relatable to everyone," she said. "Everyone's been through an insecure moment in a relationship that's left them vulnerable and I think this song captures that."
This song is synthesizer-free and full of emotion. Although being a beautiful song, and Spears' most lyrically weighty single in a very long time, "Perfume" isn't connecting, yet, with the general public in the US. As for the Joseph Khan-directed video, it's quite brilliant. The storyline for the music video is simple enough: Spears and her sexy video boyfriend have a glorious time together. They snuggle in bed, exchange plenty of hugs and dive into a motel pool. Unfortunately, as Spears learns in the clip, she isn't the only woman this longhaired hunk is snuggling with. See, he's also hugging a brunette, swimming in a pool with her and even cooking in her kitchen.
As the lyrics to "Perfume" suggest, Spears is getting two-timed. Things get hot and heavy between the two as she sings about being paranoid that his roaming eye has lead him back into the arms of his ex-girlfriend. And while she's not happy about it, she's not particularly angry either. No, Spears is just plain old sad. The pop star comes up with a brilliant way of letting a mistress know you exist: "mark your territory" on him with your signature scent. And that's just what she does in the video for the song. As Spears runs through the song, she often looks rather glum and angry, a natural feeling for anyone who feels then need to mark someone with their perfume. Will she get revenge, or, at the very least spark an olfactory-based blowout? Watch and see.
