R&B superstar Beyoncé has unveiled the new music video for her recent single Countdown, which is now streaming online, reports Billboard.
Directed by Adira Petty and Beyoncé herself, the frenetic video features a wide array of costume changes and uses old-fashioned camera tricks like stop-motion and split-screens to show off all the outfits. The singer has fun playing dress-up in everything from colored unitards to a sparkling gown.
The flashy choreography demonstrates that, baby bump or not, Beyoncé is still quite the dancer. From start to finish, the video never lets up the pace, moving from one visual to another at break-neck speed, a kaleidoscope of scenes paying homage to classic films like Flashdance, Funny Face and West Side Story.
The track ends on a close up of the singer, fluttering her eyelashes and then offering a sweet smile directly into the camera.
Countdown is the latest single off Beyoncé’s new album, 4, a follow-up to 2008’s I Am… Sasha Fierce.
