Bakar paralizza Piccadilly Circus nel videoclip di Alive!, diretto dal duo rubberband, recentemente attivissimi. A metà strada tra l’happening e la candid camera, il video vede il cantante britannico animare un grigio pomeriggio londinese ballando (coreografia di C Prinz!) tra la folla di curiosi e disorientati passanti, mentre sullo sfondo un autobus a due piani è bloccato dalla sua auto.
“Wanna free my mind, wanna be outside / Wanna be alive, pray I wake up again” dice il ritornello, la cui carica è rinforzata da una performance e un concept perfettamente aderenti. Lo styiling studiatamente corporate, le Union Jack appese e l’impietosa inquadratura finale dell’auto ferma nel traffico, invece, sembrano alludere alla più dissilusa coda del brano.
