Another New "Toxic" Video Edit

.... And it's even more intoxicating!

Personally, I love this sexier, haunting version of Britney Spears' dance track so much more when I first heard Christopher Dallman's rendition.

Chris had made a video with film-maker friend Christie Strong some time back. And a very innovative and interactive version of the video was put up on line at the "This Is Toxic" website.


It consisted of three options -- Me (Which has footage of all Chris), Him (Chris' video lover) and the fan-submitted montage of what they thought wee toxic stuff. It was a pretty unique way of presenting a song that now had a twist of something a little darker in Chris' musical interpretation. And having it set in Sin City - glitzy Las Vegas - gave it right sense of seedy feeling of false hopes and despair.

But the video - being made of three separate and distinct parts - was not as easy to share and spread the word around.

Finally, a few weeks ago, a more concise and edited version of "Toxic" has made it online! YAYY!

It was much easier to share on various websites and social networks because it could be uploaded onto YouTube, for one thing.

Here it is:



I thought it is quite a little addictive gem (nice work Christie!). And the jarring images of the "toxic" pics toward the end of the song made the point more succinctly.

What do you think?

"Toxic" is part of the Christopher Dallman's "Sad Britney" EP which is available on sale from his website

How "Toxic" Is This Christopher Dallman Video?


Quite awhile ago, there was a song called "Toxic" by pop icon Britney Spears. That was before she got deep into toxic things herself and had a semi-emotional, over-publicized head-shaving episode.

Then, some years later, indie musician Christopher Dallman decided to take his own sadder take on the originally electro-dance tune in his EP "Sad Britney". I love love love that EP. Chris' soulful acoustic interpretations really made those sometimes flat overly-banal songs hold weight and meaning.

More CJD Videos In The Works!

You've heard it right...

Christopher Dallman is working on two more music videos!! Both with friend Christie Strong (aka @strongfeatures) behind the camera.

Just yesterday, Christopher, Joshua and Christie drove into the desert to take some shots for the "Subterranean" video. The shoot seemed to have gone really well.
