A lyric video is not what I expected for Nicki Minaj’s recent “Turn Me On” hit, but David Guetta did an awesome job with this one. Vivid colors and perfect beat matching make this video fun to watch, especially for the graphic design geeks out there. The DJ station and turntable setting was a fitting choice for this dance song, and frankly, it’s just refreshing to see something besides the regular booty shaking that seems to be the staple of any pop song video.
