"Painted" is a song by American pop duo MS MR, from their album How Does It Feel, first released as a single in April 2015. The music video was directed by Tabitha Denholm,[1] and is inspired by the 1979 Walon Green documentary The Secret Life of Plants, as well as by the works of Stanley Kubrick.[2]
An official remix was subsequently released by Norwegian producer Hans-Peter Lindstrøm.[3]
Reception
editIdolator called it "fantastic" and "jittery", noting the extent to which the song features a sample of Lizzy Plapinger chanting the phrase "What did you think would happen?"[4] Nylon considered it to be a "fabulous omen" for the rest of the album;[5] similarly, DIY described it as a "glistening extension" of MS MR's previous album Secondhand Rapture.[6]
Spin called the songwriting "powerfully evocative",[7] while Complex felt that the song was "driven by its relentless hook".[8]
