Missy Elliott Is a Work of Art in ‘Cool Off’ Music Video

Missy Elliott is here to save you from your quarantine boredom with a new music video for “Cool Off,” the second track from her EP Iconology. The video features Elliott in a museum, recalling last year’s video for “Throw It Back,” also on Iconology, but this time, it’s Missy herself who’s the art. “Cool Off” delivers on every level in bringing us more iconic Missy outfits, including Elliott as an unmoving work of living bronze art, Elliott as a Technicolor weeble-wobble, and, of course, Elliott in a bright-neon tracksuit. Singer Teyana Taylor makes an appearance toward the end of the video, reprising her role as Museum of Missy Elliott docent from the videos for “DripDemeanor” and “Throw It Back.” “Cool Off” is the third single from Iconology, and the video was directed by first-time collaborator Daniel Russell.
