Toro knows just how to capture the romance of Star 2&#8217;s adventures, and how to shoot the young singing star in a way to emphasise the depth of his feelings, and overwhelming emotion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Thinkin Bout You&#8217; sees Star 2 deliver a beautiful, searing, impeccably sung tale of longing and desire, designed for the hopelessly enamored, and all those who wish they were. Star 2 has a voice that&#8217;s designed for storytelling: no patter his passion, he is always clear and concise.<br><br>In the video for &#8216;Thinkin Bout You&#8217;, we see him as a Lyft driver enamoured by one of his passengers, played Lexi Torres. Although he takes her to her destination, she remains in his head, haunting his imagination, dancing just outside his field of vision. Hector Toro manages to make her feel just real enough for us to feel she&#8217;s more than a memory to Star 2. He&#8217;s devoted himself to a woman he barely knows and so when he gets another chance to give her a ride, he makes the most of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the video for &#8216;Thinkin Bout You&#8217; below, and check out Star 2 and his music online on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/itsstar2\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/star2official\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/star2official\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_62049\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/juEZHkv9cgs?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Star2 - Thinkin Bout You (Official Music Video)\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/juEZHkv9cgs\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prolific artist Star 2 has united with budding video director Hector Toro, coming together on his new single, &#8216;Thinkin Bout You&#8217;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":73791,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"Prolific artist Star 2 has united with budding video director Hector Toro, coming together on his new single, 'Thinkin Bout You'.","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7,9,21453,21445,21446,21449,640],"tags":[11720,77,370,1945,116,10677,27023,14423,81,22992],"class_list":["post-73803","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-new-releases","category-new-singles","category-reviews","category-single-reviews","category-video-reviews","category-videos","tag-lisa-hafey","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-new-video","tag-review","tag-single-review","tag-star-2","tag-thinkin-bout-you","tag-video","tag-video-review"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-jcn","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":86050,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2024\/03\/we-catch-up-with-mako-girls-and-speak-about-their-goals-their-music-and-latest-single-aint-thinkin-bout-you\/","url_meta":{"origin":73803,"position":0},"title":"We Catch Up With MAKO Girls And Speak About Their Goals, Their Music, And Latest Single, \u00a0\u2018AIN\u2019T THINKIN BOUT YOU\u2019","author":"Essentially Pop","date":"20\/03\/2024","format":false,"excerpt":"Three sisters from Atlanta, MAKO Girls ooze confidence and poise with their recent release, \u2018AIN\u2019T THINKIN BOUT YOU\u2019.
