Petite Meller is just so damn good at being Petite Meller. We've been keenly watching her every video for several years—every promo a boldly styled fash-mag editorial brought into motion with her thrilling strange-pop providing the soundtrack. With fuschia splotches on her pale cheeks, this Parisian psychology student-cum-singer is unassailably herself."Barbaric" is piano-pop with a disco-funk twist, and visually the video finds Petite dancing with retirees, writhing on a piano, strolling down some very mental ward-meets-Overlook Hotel hallways, and running amok in a golf cart. Petite also spends a lot of time licking her own hand. Tasty. "We are barbaric / I'm just hungry for your skin," she sings. Too true.Check out this behind the scenes video, plus a bunch of candid shots from here shoot.Continued below.
