Been Around the World

Rickstar

Rickstar collaborates with innovative filmmakers, Daniel Tantalean, Jennifer Winterbotham, and Andrew Hendrix to create a cosmic love story as the backdrop for "Been Around the World". The music video creates a 90s throwback, yet futuristic look to highlight the journey Rickstar takes into deep space. He desperately attempts to construct a rocket ship to lift him beyond the New York City skyline, speeding him off into the stars to free his dream girl from a capsule floating in another galaxy.
