The-Dream has a new look.
The singer flashed his new vision of style in Pusha T’s recent video for “M.P.A.” featuring Dream, A$AP Rocky and Kanye West, directed by Shomi Patwary (who is, full disclosure, a friend). The song, off Pusha’s unabashedly excellent new album King Push—Darkest Before Dawn: The Prelude is a take-it-from-me cautionary tale against falling into a shallow, dangerous world of parties and fool’s gold— “Money Pussy Alcohol,” as the song puts it. The video also shows off the surprising new style of Terius Nash, aka beloved, multiplatinum hit singer and songwriter The-Dream.In the beginning, Dream appears to be wearing a Vuitton army jacket festooned with the fashion house’s logo patches, an 1800s style Boss of the Plains hat, some fancy dogtags and a medium-long goatee. He does not quite look like himself, mostly owing to the facial hair; if he were not singing in his typically angelic voice, you’d be forgiven if you thought he was a stand-in, or someone else entirely.
I suppose I haven’t been paying enough attention to his Instagram.
