The-Dream is on the comeback trail as he readies the release of his new album Love/Hate 2, and Mr. Radio Killa is back to his old ways. The original Love/Hate gave us classics like “I Luv Your Girl,” and he continues the tradition of spitting game to another man’s lady with the lead single “Bring That Body.” The cut almost demands a visual, and The-Dream obliges with one that lives up to his reputation.
We join the singer-songwriter at an undisclosed location, noted as “somewhere north of Mexico City,” before a QFX cassette recorder appears in the frame, and we hear a woman's voiceover asking him a question. The-Dream is dressed to the nines in an amber-hued, monochromatic ’fit as he sits in the dimly-lit room and contemplates her question while the scene transitions into a memory as the words “previously on Love/Hate” are heard. From there, we’re taken into a romantic moment with The-Dream and an unidentified lady as they embrace. We’re then quickly rushed the moment when the two of them first locked eyes while Dream strolls gingerly into a club.
What happens next is exactly what you’d expect from a visual from The-Dream. We get plenty of looks into the rich and famous lifestyle he leads, including flowing liquor, designer threads and beautiful women. But he only has his eye on one lady in particular. The two of them can’t stop making eyes at each other, even in a crowded room. They eventually sneak off to get their freak on in a more secluded location, with scenes of them indulging in one another spliced in throughout the entirety of the video.
We’re eventually transported back to the present day as The-Dream is called out of his reverie by the female therapist calling his name. We’re then left with a flash of the song’s title before everything fades to black.
The-Dream is back on brand, and we couldn’t be more tickled by his return. Watch him put it down as only he can in the video for “Bring That Body” right here.
