It seems to have worked for Young Love. If you remember correctly, we enjoyed his live show last October opening up for Lady Sov, but were very disappointed with his recorded work featured on Young Love’s debut LP, Too Young To Fight It, released earlier this year.
Well, seems like Mr. Young Love himself, Dan Keyes, has gone ahead and bared his uber-skinny body for his new video, ‘Find A New Way’ – which is actually one of the better tracks on the lackluster album. Desperate plea to sell some records or was it just unbearably hot on the set? You decide.

The song isn’t terrible, despite somewhat asinine lyrics in places. The video has a nice visual style and veneer to it, but the addition of scenes involving him cavorting with the, like, rap-chick were deeply poor directorial choices. He looks like a skinny hipster Michael Cera (Arrested Development), and the close-ups of his treasure trail did not come amiss. I’ll give it a 6/10.
Utterly humorless. Don’t get me wrong, I enthusiastically support skinny shirtless guys, but this was embarrassing! Was that Terry Richardson at the end? Did he direct this?
