Directed by Norwegian director Ray Kay, the video sees Jessie parading around in an array of colourful ensembles, from animal print jackets to full-body suits and even a psychedelic top with a face mask. Her hair styles are just as vibrant, ranging from red wigs to studded baseball caps.
The song itself is a funky dance track that blends catchy hooks with Jessie's signature pop-rock sound. The lyrics are all about the thrill of falling in love and surrendering to one's desires. "I'm feeling sexy and free/Like glitter's raining on me," she sings, her voice soaring as she belts out the chorus.
But what really sets this video apart is its sheer visual spectacle. Jessie is a true style chameleon, switching between outfits with ease and confidence. She rocks a black feathered creation, followed by a body suit covered in pink flowers and black shapes. And let's not forget her iconic pink jacket, which she pairs with an open black jacket and animal print bra.
The video also features some fun and playful moments, including Jessie reclining on a chair to show off her long legs or throwing her arms up in the air as she sings. Her nails are even painted to match her outfits, adding an extra touch of whimsy to the overall effect.
As fans eagerly await the release of Jessie's second studio LP next year, this video is the perfect treat to get us in the mood for more of her music. With its bright colours, funky beats, and infectious energy, "Domino" is sure to be a hit with fans of all ages.
Album Review: Domino
In his review of Jessie J's album, Who You Are, Caroline Sullivan of London's The Guardian wrote that she has the potential to be the British Katy Perry or Pink, with millions of sales. And it's easy to see why. "Domino" is a song that sounds like Katy Perry too – sonically, structurally, and lyrically.
The song features bubblegum beats and bouncy pop-rock guitar chords, backing Jessie's musings about how a particular guy makes her feel. She sings about feeling sexy and free, but soon spirals down into just sex, using musical terms to describe the carnal experience.
While some critics have accused Jessie J of conflating love and lust in this song, it's clear that she is simply expressing herself honestly and authentically. And who can't relate to that?
The video for "Domino" is a feast of colourful outfits and funky dance beats, showcasing Jessie's versatility as a singer-songwriter. With its playful moments and whimsical touches, it's the perfect treat for fans eagerly awaiting her next album release. So go ahead, take a look at the video below and let us know what you think!
