FOOL'S GOLD, video review on Aaron Carter's bold venture into the music scene once more

        After a decade's wait, from I Want Candy, Aaron Carter is morphing to new, synthesized beats with an evolution he is delivering with Fool's Gold. But is it worth waiting for?

        A month after its release on April 1 with Fool's Gold, Aaronators, as he fondly calls his fans, are clamoring for more. The fandom cannot wait for the whole album, LØVË, he is yet to unveil. If this is just a teaser of what he has in store, then the music scene would get to know again what real artists do.
 


        At first, the video projects a basic storyline without depicting the whole concept of the song. Lyrics-wise, it's about a love triangle wherein the girl trades the man for another because of some fool's gold. But in the end, the simple act of Aaron's character backing out with a snubbed flinch, best sums it up in saying adieu. In other words, simplicity is the key element in the making of the video. Bare walls, aloof in bed, hardly touching, the female lead all covered in glittery gold, the video is still able to narrate what the song wants to convey with minimal characters.   The eye, both in the intro and towards the end, mirroring the reflection of Aaron has a poetic significance to it.

        The keyboard tattoo playing on his arm speaks of the ingenuity on Aaron's creativity. That's pure genius! No one else has come up with that. For Aaron to boldly bring it on the table means he is serious on the art of music and to prove to the entertainment world that he is here to stay. That's real tattoo, by the way. What's got me intrigued is if the keys being played on the arm are actually the notes of the melody. I wonder if he came up with that idea for the video before he got his tattoo done? Or when the inspiration struck him to creatively come up with it for the track? Before or after? Just when you thought it's based on a simple video, he waits for the right moment to surprise us with that. It's spell binding!

        The Aaron Carter we knew before, who only wanted to party for you to come get it, is now showing to us that there is still longevity in his career and there is more to come after. He is definitely more than a come back artist, but someone who has been honed in his craft, through the years, who is on the right track.
