MusicFirst LookThrowing Shade made a music video for the female gaze'You always see loads of hot girls in music videos, so I just wanted to make one full of hot boys'ShareLink copied ✔️May 5, 2015MusicFirst LookTextAimee Cliff Following on from last year's "Sweet Tooth", a candy-themed love song with a video full of hot men getting slathered in actual candy, Throwing Shade – aka London-based artist Nabihah Iqbal – is back (alongside Emily Bee), and she's ready to objectify even more dudes. "Honeytrap", the lead single from her latest EP for No Pain In Pop, is a sort of sequel to "Sweet Tooth", with its playful refrain all about licking honey off your lips; and the video is in the same vein too. Cast your mind back to all the music videos you've ever seen where a fully clothed male artist plays protagonist while the periphery is full of writhing, half-naked women. This time, Throwing Shade plays that central role, while half-naked men bask in beds of fruit and honey. "You always see loads of hot girls being presented to the viewer in a 'sexual' way in music videos, and it's never the other way around," Iqbal told Dazed. "So I just wanted to make a music video full of hot boys, being presented in what could be interpreted as a 'sexual' manner, but not explicitly so. I wanted all the colours and textures to work with the sounds in an evocative way to produce something beautiful and suggestive, without being crass." Nailed it.
