SB19 and Apl.de.Ap link up for an epic house party on the music video of their latest dance-pop collaboration: “Ready.”
“The concept of the music video revolves around the guys being away for a while and returning home to mount a party of a lifetime,” Apl.de.Ap disclosed in a press statement. “While shot in Manila, it’s designed to be purposely ambiguous in location, and the maximalist design is intentional. It represents the arrival of SB19 as an international act. It’s an honor to be celebrating with the next pride of the Philippines.”
For the music video, the Filipino acts collaborated with American filmmaker Ben Mor, who has directed visuals in the past for Katy Perry, Britney Spears, John Legend, NAS, and the Black Eyed Peas. A good friend and frequent collaborator of Apl.de.Ap, Mor has always been fascinated by the design language of this country and has showcased it in many videos.
Apl.de.Ap revealed, “We have worked together for years as he has shot many Black Eyed Peas’ videos. The shoot was a bit of logistical madness because immediately after this, he was off to Athens to shoot another cool music video.”
