Canon has released the music video for “Different,” featuring Tony Tillman and TJ Pompeo.
The song comes from Canon’s Mad Haven album and centers on the decision to live with conviction rather than reshape yourself around every available expectation.
Canon attacks the Dirty Rice production with the quick, tightly packed delivery that has become one of his signatures. Meanwhile, Tony Tillman and TJ Pompeo bring contrasting voices to the track.
As a result, the collaboration feels like a shared statement rather than a Canon song with two extra verses attached at the end.
Canon, Tony Tillman and TJ Pompeo Choose ‘Different’
The production is bright and energetic, but the message underneath it is more serious.
Each artist describes the pressure to conform. However, the song argues that being set apart should affect more than vocabulary, clothing or the people someone follows online.
Director Will Thomas gives the song a visual treatment that matches its momentum. The video moves between individual performances and scenes featuring all three artists together.
The concept remains straightforward. Therefore, the personalities and rapid-fire performances have room to carry the video.
“Different” appears on Mad Haven, Canon’s 2013 release through Reflection Music Group.
