shoot. The group told Ponciano Junior from MOBO that the video to "Black Heart" is "completely different" to the one accompanying their previous single "Love Me". The setting has a mixture of themes which are similar to those featured in the musicals Dreamgirls, Hairspray, and by girl group The Supremes. The trio sport big hair styles and the same long dresses which are individually coloured. They stand on podiums singing into "old school" microphones. Stooshe also revealed that the visual required "a lot of acting" on their part. A writer for soLondon commented that the video also features large cameras and old fashioned hair-dryers. They added "the video reeks of nostalgia for a time when The Supremes ruled the roost." Synopsis In the video for "Black Heart", the group perform their song on a staged area, before they paint the hearts hanging on the set black. The soLondon writer said the relationship story makes "Black Heart" "not just another vacuous pop video, but something well-crafted and memorable, with great attention to detail." Reception Shortly after the video was released, it trended on social networking site Twitter. A writer from Idolator said that the video was more "somber" than the "Love Me" video and was "appropriate" for the song. They opined that it was "gorgeously shot in vibrant colours" and a homage to "The Supremes". They concluded that "unlike the no-good man the song’s about, this classy vid's definitely a keeper." 4Music's Nicolle Weeks stated that Stooshe are familiar with "colourful videos rife with hotties". She added that in the "Black Heart" video, "their usual tongue-in-cheek naughtiness takes a back seat to some impressive vocal abilities."
