Music Video: Justin Bieber – “Holy” (featuring Chance the Rapper)
Justin Bieber just dropped “Holy,” a love song with religious overtones and perhaps his best single in years. If the song’s title and lyrics were not enough, JB made sure to enlist hip-hop’s resident Jesus freak, Chance the Rapper, to drop a verse. And of course, what’s a praise jam without a church choir sangin’ in the background?
“Holy” is the lead single of Bieber’s as-yet-untitled upcoming album. Mind you, his last LP was released just seven months ago, but it appears to have been abandoned after relatively tepid reception from the music-buying public.
The best thing about the “Holy” video is that it stars Ryan Destiny, who plays Bieber’s significant other and a nursing home employee. She and Bieber, who plays a rig worker, get evicted after Bieber loses his job. Destitute and walking along the street, they get offered a ride and a hot meal by a good Samaritan — a soldier played by Wilmer Valderrama.
If I didn’t know any better, I would’ve assumed this was a US Army ad.
