Sense And Sensuality

Ashanti and 'Rock Wit U' video director Paul Hunter

Arguably, video director Paul Hunter has taken the art of video production to exciting new levels, having shot hundreds of videos with artists such as Busta Rhymes, Marilyn Manson, Jennifer Lopez and the "Lady Marmalade" ladies [Christina Aguilera, Pink, Mya, Lil' Kim], among others (peep his resume). Although his foray into feature films hasn't been rewarding ? his big-screen directorial debut Bulletproof Monk tanked at the box office ? it has hasn't stalled Paul's creative mind when it comes to directing captivating videos that taps into the viewers' imagination.

Recently, Paul shot music videos with R&B crooners Tyrese, Ashanti, Mya and Tamia ? and visually, all of them showcases a different direction in sensuality (and sexuality) in them. In these four clips, Paul has smartly chosen not to shoot them with an abundant amount of sex and titillation. But, instead, these four toothsome clips are deliciously erotic.

Using Paul Hunter's treatment for Mya's new video for "My Love Is Like Wo," I summed up what this award-winning videographer has managed to achieve with his auteuristic vision:

"Flip it, I'm trippin', I'm movin' with [Mya, Tyrese, Ashanti and Tamia] on this crazy journey. Like thug pimpin' stylish, I'm with [them] in front and behind. Sometimes skin, sometimes nothing. All I know is, I can't stop looking . . . if that doesn't get your imagination running, nothing
will . . . "

So, with Paul bringing a new sense of eroticism to video production, I had to ask you this question:

Which music video below do you think is the most sensual and gets your sexual imagination/fantasy running?


Tyrese ? "Signs of Making Love" (music video)

Ashanti ? "Rock Wit U (Awww, Baby)" (music video)

Tamia ? "Unofficially Missing You" (music video)

Mya ? "My Love Is Like Wo!" (music video)


For me, it's a toss up between Tyrese's "Signs of Making Love" and Tamia's "Unofficially Missing You." I'm leaning more towards Tamia ? she is absolutely beautiful in her steamy clip . . . I think I'm in love.

I can't stop looking at all of these videos. Simply hot!
