Here we have "Voodoo in My Blood", the music video for the son of the same name and the performers here are Massive Attack (who we hear) and actress Rosamund Pike (who we see). This one runs for slightly over five minutes and we see Pike at an empty subway station alley apparently where she meets a mysterious metal ball that seems to have a special influence on her and you can already see which one that would be if you take a look at the title. From the visual perspective, it is pretty nice. The colors in here are possibly the most memorable aspect. The story is bearable for such a short film, but the music is very forgettable. All in all, I cannot say I am impressed at all. There are more forgettable aspects in here than positive and this one directed by Ringan Ledwidge does not get me curious about the band at all. I guess you have to be a huge Massive Attack fan (or maybe Rosamund Pike fan) to truly appreciate the art in here and ignore the forgettable. I am neither, which may be a bit biased, but like I said it also does not turn me into a fan at all. Not recommended.
