When we first met one-woman show Just Kait, we were blown away by her musicianship and raucous pop-rock jams, and charmed by the matter of fact way it was presented in videos like "Sick" and "U Suck."
So her new video for her cover of Donna Summer's disco classic, "Hot Stuff," comes as something of surprise. Cutting between footage from the MTV film Turn The Beat Around, which airs February 26, the clip begins with some dancers getting all limbered up (a la Paula Abdul's "Cold Hearted Snake" vid). Things proceed; the Turn The Beat Around dancers dance, fall for one another, and party it up, encouraging me to want to watch the movie.
While all this is going down, we also get some flashy footage of Just Kait rocking out in front of some name-in-lights action. Just Kait's verison of the song is far more rock than the original, as would be expected; the whole thing has a very Pat Benatar vibe to it. Watch the video, and watch the Turn The Beat Around trailer too.
