Flashing Lights -Kanye West

Report

"Flashing Lights" is the ninth track and fourth single from rapper Kanye West's album Graduation.
It features R&B artist Dwele and contains additional vocals by Connie Mitchell. The album artwork was designed by Takashi Murakami. "Flashing Lights" notably contains no credited samples, but is said to be inspired by Japanese anime music.
The video, co-directed by Spike Jonze along with West himself, starts out with a car stopping in the desert at dusk, with the red tail lights and yellow headlights of a Ford Mustang creating "flashing lights" on the ground.
The term "flashing lights" arises from West being caught cheating on his girl by the paparazzi's "flashing lights." A woman (portrayed by Rita G, as a woman scorned) gets out of the car, walks a distance away from it, proceeds to strip down to her lingerie, and burns her clothes. She then walks back to her car, and opens the trunk. West is seen there, tied up and gagged. The girl somewhat flirts with West stroking and kissing him, before taking out a shovel that is in the trunk, as a terrified West helplessly watches.
