The music video was produced by Happy Place and edited by Modern Post’s Sofia Kerpan.

Actress and singer Keke Palmer is Usher personified in the mind-bending music video for Usher’s latest single ‘Boyfriend’, produced by production company Happy Place, directed by Ricky Alvarez and edited by Modern Post editor Sofia Kerpan. Keke sets what would be a typical scene for a night out in Vegas with her girlfriends, were she not the majority feature lip-syncing much of Usher’s own lines as he plays a phantom presence in her mind.

Sofia oscillates between cuts of Keke going out, using Facetime and gambling on the casino floor, merging flashing slot machine lights with even flasher dance scenes leading to the video’s unexpected conclusion.

Sofia joined the Modern Post team earlier this year, as part of the bicoastal post studio’s strategic expansion.
