The 5 Most Captivating Animated Music Videos of 2020

‘The Scotts’ – Travis Scott & Kid Cudi

Kid Cudi notched yet another impressive collaboration, this time around with Travis Scott. The duo put out the moody, sinister track, ‘The Scotts’.

Now, ‘The Scotts’ premiered on the online, multi-player video game, Fortnite. It later arrived with not one but three separate visuals. The video that takes the cake features a hyper-realistic style, often seen in new-age video games. The violently coloured visual, shows us the happenings on various different worlds. In most, we see Travis Scott rising above surreal landscapes as a 50 foot giant. He towers over dark buildings, entire islands and cherry coloured meadows. Sitting upon one of these many worlds is an astronaut, watching planets and galaxies explode right before his eyes.

Interestingly, as the lyrics speak of a certain anarchy, the visuals seem to parallel an equal amount of chaos. Unlike the previous animated videos we’ve seen, this one doesn’t follow any storyline as such. It’s simply the visuals that demand your focus and honestly, that’s enough.

If this video did one thing, its immersive nature and captivating visuals proved Fortnite’s potential to become more than just a game.
