Jake Erland reunites with Olivia Dean for the first track from her new album The Art of Loving, with a video that channels Hollywood musicals and classic fashion shoots and plays to the singer's great strength.In the video for Nice To Each Other, Olivia walks onto a rehearsal stage where stagehands move the two-dimensional flats that will create the scenery for a show. Her choreographed interaction with the scenery and stagehands enhances the sense of wistful romance in her performance.[imgtoken data:1]With production design by Furmaan Ahmed and choreographed by Meshach Henry, and shot in long takes by the director/DoP in the style of a Fifties musical, it is a terrific showcase for Olivia Dean's screen presence. And that's as delightfully mood-enhancing here as it has been in previous videos - including the UKMVA-nominated video for Time, also directed by Erland.[imgtoken data:2]
