Amerie - 1 Thing (2005)
**** (of four)
This sexy Afro-Asian beauty channels her inner Beyoncé and sashays her way through the "1 Thing" video, which perfectly captures the song's energetic, percussion-heavy feeling. Amerie dances in front of a band - with lots of drums, of course - and background dancers wearing some of the shortest shorts I’ve ever seen.
Some versions of this video have clips from the movie Hitch because the song was originally released from that movie’s soundtrack. But Amerie smartly rips down a canvas playing shots of Will Smith and Eva Mendes and dances some more. There are also some parts in which various versions of Amerie in silhouette dance behind a red background, while the real Amerie dances in the foreground. Sex-ay…
"1 Thing" draws heavy inspiration from the Go-Go sound of Amerie’s and producer Rich Harrison’s native Washington, D.C. Too bad the rest of her album, Touch was slept on, because it's great. Of course, the question is - what is that "1 Thing" that Amerie is looking for? I pray to God it's me.
