Top 10 Music Videos of 2021

With 2021 coming to a close I wanted to look back over some of my favorite videos from the year. With production being shut down part of the year a lot of DIY directors had the chance to work on some great projects, directors like Lonewolf and Daniel Reagan were able to have great success with their no studio videos consisting of creative edit styles and unique techniques. There were then of course the great bigger productions like Lil Nas X’s amazing video run of 2021 and Baby Keem consistently putting out innovative videos like “Family Ties” and the amazing one-take style visual for “Issues”. Keep reading to see my top ten videos from the year.
