Jamiroquai: Virtual Insanity

Virtual Insanity is a Funk and R&B song released in 1996 by the group Jamiroquai, sung specifically by Jay Kay. Although the instrumental of the song and the beat are incredible, what makes this song special is its innovative video clip. This shows us Jay being dragged through a world where technology is the basis of human existence, which would fit with the song itself and, curiously, with the reality in which we live. While it is true that there are several events that never occurred, these should be taken as metaphorical elements. However, what this video clip contains is a supposed floor that moves randomly and makes the protagonist make different movements, either with his hands or his legs. Although there is a sensation of movement in the floor, it turns out that it always remained static during filming, and what caused this effect were the surrounding walls. Simply incredible.

Let me tell ya, this music video didn't win Music Video of the Year for nothing.

As an artist (traditional because I can't draw on digital for the life of me) The lyrics have aged like fine wine, they paint a picture which is unfortunately is true to our real world. With Ai up on a rise and taking over everywhere, this song feels more like a warning about Ai taking over creativity and making us lose what it means to be human, the worst part is that WE are the cause. So we're making the world worse by promoting it. (I know the song isn't based of ai, but still)

And we can't forget about the award winning music video, from the moving floor (which is actually the walls!) to the meme pose around the 2:40 mark. Every second of it is beautiful in my opinion. My favorite part is at the first chorus with the other band members. With music videos in my opinion being more bland nowadays, this stands out more. With the music video being innovative, metaphorical, and enhancing the song quality.

In a nutshell, Peak Song + Peak Music Video = arguably the best song of the 90's, and if your call the music video the emote from Forsaken. I'd ban you from your iPad for a week.
