World premiere exclusive! Ari Gold's "I Can Forgive You"

Following his four consecutive No. 1 music videos and his "Video of the Year" on the LOGO Network, pioneering indie recording artist Ari Gold is set to debut his newest music video and his first video ballad, for "I Can Forgive You," directed by Christopher Ciccone, who has notably directed other videos by legendary musicians like Dolly Parton and Tony Bennett, and has designed and directed two of Madonna's most influential concert tours.

We're happy to present it right here at AfterElton.com, for the first time anywhere! Check out "I Can Forgive You" after the break!


Here's what Gold had to say about working with Christopher Ciccone:

"It makes so much sense to me that behind some of the best work that the world's biggest living gay icon, Madonna, has ever done was a gay man," says Gold. "Everyone from Britney Spears to Christina Aguilera to Lady Gaga has been influenced by Christopher Ciccone's work, and since I am such a visible gay artist myself, why not go to the source? I think the simplicity of the video really brings home the song's powerful message of forgiveness."

I've been a long time fan

Yet, I'm still waiting for the "win a date with Ari Gold" contest. Nice work as always from Mr. Gold. He really is a talented entertainer and deserves more exposure in the mainstream than he gets.

I Love This Song..

And it's so odd to see him without a shaved head or a mohawk. He is one Sexy man.

He is sexy, but...

Please don't hate me for this because I really want to like Ari, but there is something about him that I can't embrace. I don't know if it's his song choices or his voice, but I can't get behind him. This video, however, is really well made. 

 

Origination by R.E. Blakeslee - Read the book!

i don't hate you.

in fact, i agree.  for me it's the nasality and whistled sibilants.  and the song sounds a little like a backstreet b-side from circa 1995.  i do like his up-tempo stuff better, though.

 I  would personally would  prefer  a rounchy  "Ride to Heaven" video,  but  I  totally  dig  this  sweet  ballad... I like Ari  all the time.

 He  should  do  covers  in  his  next  album  and  colaborations  and  gay  men duets with Cazwell &  Colton Ford !!!!
