The 'Mine' song and video (Beyonce featuring Drake) is a work of art. Beyonce shocked the world when she dropped her latest self-titled album without the usual media fanfare that’s become typical for celebrities of her magnitude. Beyond the element of surprise, Queen B went one step further, secretly shooting accompanying music videos for each song to create an ultimate visual-audio experience. One of the stand-out tracks is her collaboration with Drake on a song titled ‘Mine.’ In the song, Beyonce contemplates the state of her relationship, wondering if they’ve “taken this a little too far.”
The video is an immaturely crafted masterpiece that opens with Beyonce in Virgin Mary-inspired garb. It also features dancers in loose, gauzy ensembles, performing interpretive dance to the intimate, personal melody and lyrics.
