Mariah Carey Has A Parade Of Subway Dancers Behind Her In 'A No No' Video

Mariah Carey has released the video for "A No No," a nostalgic anthem from her 2018 album Caution. There's something absolutely retro about the song's sonic similarities to Lil' Kim's "Crush On You," which it samples, that drenches the listener in an early internet-era atmosphere. It's an aesthetic that the visual retains with a pretty subway presence that entertains from the initial seconds during. You'll hope to get up and dance immediately after seeing the energy expended in this video.


"A No No" takes place in a subway vehicle where graffiti is etched on metal seat dividers and Carey, with her shimmering hair and blinding smile, sits comfortably, undeterred by her surroundings. In back of her is a cavalcade of dancing people of all shapes, colors, and sizes. The camaraderie here is amazing; bodies jolt and snap to the charged production and Mariah's vocals because the categorize beyond them amps them up with waved hands and excited smiles.


At one point, a guy gets up and makes a goldfish (don't worry: it's submerged in water) do a few dance moves by gently swirling its bowl. It's a truly pretty scene. Several of the dancers get a chance to get one on one time with the camera, moving close to show off the extent of their dance skills and their pearly whites. Carey lets the others have the spotlight whenever she stands to the side and serves look immediately after look in her furry coat and sensual dress, accentuating the curves that have made her a sex symbol since the 1990s.


"A No No" is the third video released from Caution following "GTFO" and the Mustard-assisted "With You." She's currently in the midst of the North American leg of the Discretion World Tour that ends in April. In May, she is going to start on the European leg.
