Actress and singer Keke Palmer is Usher personified in the mind-bending music video for Usher’s latest single Boyfriend.

The promo was produced by production company Happy Place, directed by Ricky Alvarez and edited by Modern Post editor Sofia Kerpan. Palmer sets what would be a typical scene for a night out in Vegas with her girlfriends, were she not the majority feature lipsyncing much of Usher’s own lines as he plays a phantom presence in her mind.

Kerpan oscillates between cuts of Palmer going out, using Facetime and gambling on the casino floor, merging flashing slot machine lights with even flasher dance scenes leading to the video’s unexpected conclusion.

Kerpan joined the Modern Post team earlier this year, as part of the bicoastal post studio’s strategic expansion.
