Thus far, 2013 has been superb in relation to new music. After a year of disappointment, we've seemingly returned to the preeminent grind of 2011, and the short span of early January–a typically quiet time of the year—has already created more noise than the final two months of 2012. Let's assume this trend will continue, but with the addition of one component that has been a bit lackluster so far: the music video.
