Kanye West Fade music video finally lands on YouTube and Vevo

NSFW, as you probably know by now when it comes to Kanye videos

Tidal has spent the couple of weeks since the VMAs furiously snatching down streams of Kanye West’s Teyana Taylor-starring music video for ‘Fade’, but now it’s finally available for public consumption.

New Kanye West videos have become a real pop cultural event now, as we’re always certain to get a bold, often simple, but powerful aesthetic.

Of this particular one, director Eli Russell Linnetz recently told The New York Times: “I pulled a lot of references from ’70s and ’80s porn, just on Pornhub. That was less about the imagery and more about the texture of the skin, the oiliness.

"There’s John Carpenter films, The Fly,” he continued. “There’s also things like Dancing With the Stars, the Olympics and the N.B.A. championship.”

The Flashdance-esque video stars actress Teyena Taylor who became an overnight sensation thanks to it. Last night, she walked the catwalk at Kanye’s Yeezy Season 4 fashion launch.
