This is the turning point for me. This is the point where I openly now say that I am a fan of Cheryl Cole. This is the moment where I go, “Whoever is putting this whole package together – I applaud you,” including Cheryl herself.
This song was not one of the standouts for me when I listened to the album, but now has honestly become one of my favorites and am pretty stoked it was picked as a single. The military drumbeat, the staccato melody, and lyrics like, “Don’t believe the things you tell yourself so late at night, you are your own worst enemy – you’ll never win the fight, just hold on to me – I’ll hold on to you, it’s you and me up against the world, it’s you and me…” – gem. I can’t wait for the remixes and I hope this video does really well, because – really – Cheryl Cole is becoming a true guilty pleasure.
So far the videos from her album 3 words have been really dramatic and vibrant, but not necessarily overly-saturated in a Hype Williams hip-hip way. Ever so Euro, ever so sophisticated, this video for her 3rd single, Parachute, takes the gee-dee cake. Stunning imagery, hot-ass dancing with US DWTS Derek Hough, a dash of Da Vinci Code, a sliver of hot ass, capes…oh, there’s too much to take all in. And here I was – worried. Check out our post reviewing the remixes.
