Update: "The Night Is Still Young" has officially been released on YouTube.
It's been a while since we've seen the colorful, kitschy side of Nicki Minaj, but for the poppiest track on her new album The Pinkprint, the pink-haired Barbie leader is back. Today (May 22), Minaj released the official music video for her latest single "The Night Is Still Young" just in time to live it up for Memorial Day weekend.
Just like Minaj's "Feeling Myself" video from earlier this week, "The Night Is Still Young" first debuted on TIDAL, but nothing can really stay away from the Internet. The clip quickly popped up on YouTube under various new names, including the acronym "TNISY."
With the help of some Gwen Stefani-esque Harajuku girls and a pack of youthful revelers, Minaj appears in the music video in a variety of wigs and body tight outfits, just like she teased earlier this month on Instagram.
"The Night Is Still Young" is all about enjoying the ride of life, with a huge moon in the background and Minaj blasting out her raps and sung vocals while those around her take in the city. There's dancing in the streets, zooming through tunnels, meeting and kissing for the first time and plenty of motorcycle rides.
It's the hopeful, summery kind of single that's perfect to hit right as beach season arrives.
