Added Value

                                                           Music Video Promo

Music videos can often add value to the songs and in both of the following cases its the video that ensured that the song was a hit record.
Nothing Compares 2U was a minor hit for prince but the Irish singer Sinead O'Connor's cover has proven to be a career defining release mainly because of the video.



The song was written and composed by Prince as a side project and it was later made famous by her cover and it became a worldwide hit in 1990. The video consists of shots of her walking around scenes in Paris and close up shots of her face and near the end of the video, tears roll down her face to show her strong emotion throughout the song.

TAKE ON ME - AHA




The original 'Take On Me' song in 1984 but it took a about two recordings and three different releases to be in the Uk Top Charts and it finally reached number two in October 1985. The song became the only A-Ha song to reach the Billboard hot 100 in the US. The video includes the band in a pencil sketch animation method which is called rotoscoping and it was also combined with live action.
