Karmin has dropped their third single, and with it a new music video for “Pulses.” This one also happens to feature a surprise voice in its opening sequence.
You can watch the full music video below, thanks to the official Karmin Vevo channel.
Opening on a black and white reel with that old-movie vibe, George Takei explains the science behind the new music video. The scientists in the laboratory are studying cymatics, watching the visible representation of sound as it moves through water. They, of course, throw Karmin’s newest album, Pulses, on the record player, and the real fun begins.
“Imagine how these pulses of sound might affect the human body and everything around us…”
Nick and Amy, the duo behind Karmin, jump right into the song, which features quite a bit of Nick’s vocals. Amy raps while Nick provides the back up and parts of the chorus, and the entire music video starts off in black and white.
As the song progresses, however, the beats are ramped up and color finds its way into the video, tinting it with the monochromatic colors we’ve come to see Karmin dressed in during the evolution of their first full-length album.
Hokuto “Hok” Konishi also makes an appearance. He may be best known as one of the dancers that frequents LMFAO’s videos, but he’s also a leading member of the dance group Quest Crew, which won the third season of America’s Best Dance Crew. Individually, Hok was also a finalist on So You Think You Can Dance in its third season.
“Pulses” marks the third single to have come off of Karmin’s debut album of the same name, with the first two being “Acapella” and “I Want It All,” both of which have their own unique and exciting music videos.
