Directed by: Nick Saxton
Super Freak is a funk song by American musician Rick James, released in 1981 as part of his album *Street Songs*. Co-written with Alonzo Miller, the track became one of James’ signature hits, known for its catchy bassline and provocative lyrics describing a “very kinky girl.” The song gained renewed popularity when MC Hammer sampled it in his 1990 hit “U Can’t Touch This.” The accompanying music video, directed by Nick Saxton, features James performing with his band amidst vibrant, energetic visuals that capture the essence of the early ’80s funk scene.
