MAMAMOO - STARRY NIGHT Harpreet (Harper) Dhadde The Sun is Still a Beautiful Star With a beautiful mix of scenery and camera work‚ Mamamoo’s music video for ‘Starry Night’ creates an individual and aesthetic piece of art but it doesn’t quite match the criteria that the music sets. Viewers can tell that Mamamoo went for a natural and raw music video and the group did a wonderful job making conveying that.
