Stagione estiva decisamente prolifica per Jocelyn Anquetil: dopo il ritratto weird-emozionale di Ezra Williams in Babyteeth, la regista di Pulse firma questo un iconic video dai toni dark e lussuriosi per Tkay Maidza. Ring-a-Ling si va ad aggiungere al filone dell’empowerment femminista più aggressivo, terremotando gli elementi basici del video urban-pop mainstream con un’estetica fluida al limite del post-umano (il trucco protesico), inacidita dalle scelte di fotografia e da un certo gusto per il degrado.
