At the time he was working heavily with Santigold, who also appears in the video to teach A-Trak some dance moves. Santigold helped bring fresh musical associations to New York's left field, a sound that had been dominated by the garage rock sounds of The Strokes, Interpol and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and along with Ezra Koening of Vampire Weekend, proved that NYC's music scene was not just about white people in leather jackets. Via the Barbra Streisand video, we're treated to candid glimpses of artists who are now superstars that are now careful to curate every aspect of what we see of them.
Pharrell Williams, looking exactly the same as he always has done. Tracks like "Pop The Glock" and "ADD SUV" released in with Pharrell on production and Armand on remix duties caught the hearts of hype blogs, though her career failed to materialise into anything more substantial.

He left the music industry the year "Barbra Streisand" was released, sensing opportunity elsewhere. To think that Instagram didn't even exist in , he has since become the world's first male plus size model, and hosts a show called Money Pizza Respect on Beats 1.
In amongst the unexpected and the now non-existent are the reliables, in the form of Todd Terry and Questlove, both artists who in their own right prove their eternal relevance.

Santigold and Ezra have respectively continued to release critically acclaimed music, natural born music makers who were born from a bubble pot of excitement that "Barbra Streisand" captures perfectly. A few have had their careers affected by something on the cusp of explosion. Uffie, a burgeoning artist, could have capitalised on the likes of SoundCloud to grow and maintain her following and fanbase.
The Fat Jew dipped out of music when he saw a gap in the market elsewhere. Their relevance means everything or nothing, depending on whose watching, proving that it doesn't matter if you're mates with Armand. A-Trak has become known for incorporating elements of hip hop music with his dance music mixes.
The answer to that question is essentially, "Why not? In the Dutch duo L. Style took "James Brown Is Dead" to the top 5 of the dance chart with only the worlds, " James Brown is dead," repeated as lyrics.
