PREMIERE | Johnnie Mikel releases 'Friday Night' music video

The pop newcomer has the time of his life at the local skating rink (doused in confetti and neon)

Party of the millennium!

"I'm always looking for crazy!" pop upstart Johnnie Mikel smirks at the camera in his "Friday Night" video, premiering today. Glitter synths vibrating through an R&B-splashed arrangement, mingling with brassy horns and a dive-bar groove, the singer's heavenly slice of pop gets an appropriately confetti-centric visual. "We're 'bout to live it up like Friday night!" he sings, rallying his friends for neon-blasted turns on the skating rink. Pink, blue and purple hues dance around him ⎯⎯ it's like being trapped inside a fragmented disco ball, tbh ⎯⎯ and the good times come on and on and on and on. At least, that's what Mikel hopes happens.
