The Washboard Union – ‘What We’re Made Of’

The Washboard Union – ‘What We’re Made Of’ (Warner Music Canada): Less bluegrass, more crossover, the single serves as the title track to TWU's just-released 12-track sophomore album featuring their previous top 10 hit, “Shine”.

Their debut included the Top 10 hits “Maybe It’s the Moonshine” and “Shot of Glory” which became the band’s first certified gold record and set them up for a CCMA trophy in the Roots category last year.


As expected, the message is bright and uplifting, and ably spelt out in the accompanying video directed by Stefano Barberis from an original concept developed by The Washboard Union. “The clip celebrates those little moments in our lives that make us who we are," the band offers by way of explanation, adding that "Our very identities are a culmination of every experience we go through and all those who surround us. That is ‘What we’re made of.’”

Elton John’s First Song to Enter YouTube Billions Club Might Surprise You

The 1989 video stars supermodel Yasmeen Ghauri and singer Chris Isaak.

Sire Elton John‘s video for the maudlin 1989 single “Sacrifice” has joined the YouTube billion-views club. The single from John’s 22nd studio album, 1989’s Sleeping with the Past, chronicles the challenge of remaining faithful in marriage, with a video starring singer/songwriter Chris Isaak and supermodel Yasmeen Ghauri.

The clip directed by Alex Keshishian (Madonna: Truth or Dare, Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me) follows Isaak as he and Ghauri struggle to maintain their connection as a married couple while raising their young daughter, with Isaak seeming to take on single parenthood near the end of the video.
