Miami-based dance pop artist Darre Ockert recently released the music video for "You Don't Know Me", the first single right off of his upcoming album, Short Story Long. Posted on Youtube, the video has become an instant hit. The cheerful, simple video will accompany Ockert's recently launched #YouDontKnowMe project.
The extremely enjoyable video reflects on the single, as well as the project's positive message. The video begins with Ockert staring into the camera as like a mirror and lip-synching to the music. The shot then pans back to reveal other characters doing the same. As these average citizens, each unique and quirky in their own way prepare for the day, they give the world a glimpse of who they really are. Featuring a drag queen, punk rocker, office worker, and many more, the cast quickly explodes with energy. Soon, the individuals join Ockert in lip-synching and dancing to "You Don't Know Me".
The single itself, which features an infectious melody and danceable beats, is decorated with twinkling loops, poppy synths. Ockert's voice helps bring out the single's positive message, encouraging everybody to be themselves. The single accompanies the #YouDontKnowMe project, in which Ockert invites everybody who at some point felt prejudiced because of their appearance to post and share video diaries. He hope to combat stereotypes and lead to understanding with this project.
