Song of the Week: "Love You Like A Love Song" - Selena Gomez

MUSIC VIDEO: "Love You Like A Love Song" performed by Selena Gomez

I've played this song at least two dozen times this week. The synthesized beats underlying the chorus strum in a way that exudes an electro-funk / Eurodisco vibe. The music video sets Gomez in multiple timeless places: a Japanese karaoke bar, a beach, the clouds, a convertible in outer space, on tv, in a field. She is indoors, outdoors, out of this world, and in the virtual world, transcending physical, temporal, and imaginary spaces. Ironically, this makes time feel ethereal and multi-dimensional. In addition to creating a mystical and dreamy effect, the purple and violet color palette no doubt pays homage to her celebrity boyfriend, Justin Bieber. Purple wasn't even recognized as a color until he made it his image.
