## Music video

[edit]

The music video for "Blank Marquee" was directed by Yuna's husband, Adam Sinclair and features award-winning actor Amerul Affendi and US-based Malaysian supermodel Atikah Karim.[3] The video was filmed in some locations in Kuala Lumpur including Bukit Bintang and Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC).[4] Some scenes in the video also filmed at The Kuala Lumpur Journal hotel.[5]

The music video was released on Yuna's official YouTube and Vevo account at the official launch date.[6]

## Critical reception

[edit]

Rania Aniftos from Billboard wrote that the song follows "a suspicious deal that transpires in Malaysia's capital of Kuala Lumpur".[6] Nada Mesh from HotNewHipHop deemed it as "a beat reminiscent of a Pharell and Daft Punk type song".[7] Skylar de Paul from The Daily Californian said that the song was "an empowering lo-fi funk" and felt that the track is "a melodic argument between both sides of the disagreement, and boy is it entertaining".[8] Adriane Pontecorvo from PopMatters described that Yuna's refrain of the song "that sells this as a song to belt out even as the singer keeps things subtle".[9]
