Queer Joy Alert! Keo Nozari releases playful, cheeky music video “Pants” unzipped for Pride Month
FEATURING DANCE BY PATRICK MCCOLLUM, CHOREOGRAPHER OF TONY AWARD WINNER FOR BEST MUSICAL “A BAND’S VISIT”
SURPRISE CAMEOS BY NYC GLITTERATI: DJ LINA, DRAG STAR KIZHA CARR AND CURRENT STAR OF BROADWAY’S “SWEENEY TODD” DWAYNE COOPER
Get ready to groove and giggle in Keo Nozari's latest video sensation, "Pants"! Just in time for Pride Month, join our mischievous pant collector as he sets out on a wild adventure, stealing the pants right off his cute male Pancers. But wait, there's a twist! These guys aren't ready to let their bottoms go without a fight. It's a pants-off dance-off extravaganza, filled with playful and sexy moves, campy humor, and a cheeky revenge plot. Keo Nozari takes you on a whirlwind ride where the fashion police won't stand a chance.
Cut from the same cloth, the song “Pants” is a lusty invocation on the dance floor: campy, modern, disco-pop. It’s only fitting the video sew together just as much sexy fun! Needle-ss to say it does between the Pants dance by Patrick McCollum (choreographer of the Tony Award for Best Musical “A Band’s Visit”) and a slue of surprise cameos by NYC glitterati including DJ Lina, drag stars Kizha Carr and Stephanie Stone, and current star of Broadway’s “Sweeney Todd” Dwayne Cooper.
The video also marks a seaming-ly magical moment for the artist. “I rediscovered this song sitting on my closet shelf during quarantine. It was written it around the time of my first album and reworked for my new album Fingerprints. At the time I wrote it, I didn’t have the skillset to fully bring it to life production-wise. Much less create the music video. To be able to now fully realize the song, and also direct and edit a music video at this level: it’s a love-letter to my younger Queer-self! And what persistence and dedication looks like. A true full-circle moment for me!”
So grab your popcorn, button up your fly, and prepare for a jaw-dropping, hip-shaking, laughter-inducing experience that'll leave you in stitches.
NYC-based, queer recording artist Keo Nozari has achieved both critical acclaim and commercial success: Billboard Top 20 charting dance single (“Rewind”); Apple/iTunes Top 100 single in the UK (“Wildside”); international hit signed to Armin Van Buuren (“Close Enough”); voted “Ultimate Sexist Video” on MTV’s LOGO network (“Question of Monogamy”); stellar reviews in Billboard Magazine, Billboard.com, TimeOut New York and much, much more. He is also a longtime DJ who was a resident DJ in Fire Island Pines (the birthplace of the ‘remix’) for over a decade.
