Sophie Muller and Theo Adams give Jessie Ware a touch of Old Hollywood glamour and add a modern twist for Pearls - the first release from the singer's upcoming new album.With an unapologetic sense of fun and frothiness, Jessie finds herself in an all-white boudoir worthy of a Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers 30s musical. Meanwhile, her backing - and her destiny - comes in the form of a sassy girl group situated under a giant&nbsp;moon - the Pearlites.It is a joyous setting for a triumphant return with Pearls - a modern take on the disco classics of Chaka Khan, Gloria Gaynor and others. It's a blast.

Sophie Muller and Theo Adams co-direct an impassioned performance promo for US artist Benson Boone.&nbsp;We see Boone sat in a desolate, cold bedroom set, pensive and alone, whilst the camera floats around him. At the chorus, his body whips up into a zero-gravity atmosphere, before he escapes to a new location, breaking free of his metaphorical prison.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Extending their collaborations on the recent Kylie Minogue videos -&nbsp;including&nbsp;<a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/11/18/kylie-minogue-jessie-ware-kiss-life-sophie-muller/73851" target="_blank">Kiss Of Life</a>&nbsp;-&nbsp;this sees Sophie Muller sharing directing credits with Theo Adams for the first time, and it is another beautifully&nbsp;executed project, superbly shot by Joel Honeywell.It's also a great showcase for the charismatic,&nbsp;athletic Benson&nbsp;Boone. He gives a terrific, emotional&nbsp;performance&nbsp; - including just the right amount of dancing in the rain.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hold on to your horses as two disco divas unite on the dancefloor - via&nbsp;the magic of music video - as Kylie gets together with none other than Gloria Gaynor, of I Will Survive fame, in Sophie Muller's dazzling video for Can't Stop Writing Songs About You.&nbsp;On a glittering runway, it's vintage disco vibes as we see Kylie and her crew strut their stuff under scintillating lights, with a lo-fi aesthetic that looks ripped straight from the clubkid era.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Gaynor appears in a separate performance vignette, backdropped by the night sky and overlaid with hypnotising effects and soft pastel silhouettes - which feels reminiscent of another iconic Muller video, for <a href="https://youtu.be/kRpZJ9EgJho?t=120">No Doubt's Simple Kind Of Life.&nbsp;</a>And&nbsp;its&nbsp;art directed by her longtime collaborator, production designer Alison Dominitz.&nbsp;&nbsp;Once again Sophie has also teamed&nbsp;with Theo Adams, whose company of performers provides&nbsp;Kylie's world with that extra pinch of pizzazz, and the result is&nbsp;a powerhouse visual for an irresistable track, pairing&nbsp;very nicely with previous Muller-Minogue videos for her other collabs on the new version of her&nbsp;Disco album - with Olly of Years &amp; Years on <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/10/12/kylie-and-years-years-second-midnight%E2%80%99-sophie-muller/73271" target="_blank">A Second To Midnight</a>, and with Jessie Ware on <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/11/18/kylie-minogue-jessie-ware-kiss-life-sophie-muller/73851">the telenovela-style Kiss Of Life.</a>&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]

A group of schoolchildren create their own ABBA homage in Sophie Muller's touching seasonal promo for Little Things.&nbsp;The track&nbsp;is a gentle reflection on the joy of Christmas morning and family time around this special time of year, and the proceeds from CD sales are going&nbsp;to Unicef&nbsp;to help&nbsp;support the&nbsp;Global Child Protection Fund.&nbsp;In the video, we see a dedicated and ambitious group of school-age children, many of whom in real life are close to (or even related to!) the creative team behind the groundbreaking Voyage concerts.[imgtoken data:1]This next generation of geniuses are inspired to create an ABBA Voyage ‘Christmas Special’, and embark with irrepressible enthusiasm on the enterprise of motion capture, choreography, costume design, stage lighting and band rehearsals, culminating with the arrival of parents and family members, to watch a convincing performance by the re-imagined ‘ABBA’, as the track draws to a close.&nbsp;Evoking a sense of traditional Christmas wonder, it's a charming concept and a perfect accompaniment to the group's iconic comeback.&nbsp;

Ed Sheeran 'Bad Habits' by Dave Meyers

Ed-Sheeran--'Bad-Habits'-by-Dave-Meyers

Sparks fly and chaos reigns when Kylie comes to Jessie Ware's restaurant, in Sophie Muller's brilliant Telenovella-style video for Kiss Of Life.&nbsp;Kylie plays a mysterious dinner guest, secretly a critic out to deliver the verdict on the place&nbsp;run by the indominable Jessie, among an outrageously larger-than-life bunch of&nbsp;fellow diners. The mini-dramas of the women's rivalry plays out like an '80s Latin soap opera, with further nods to early Almodovar, and a bit of silent comedy for good measure - plus a cast from a Fellini movie&nbsp;-&nbsp;shot on authentic video camera equipment from the period, for that genuine oversaturated look. Phew.[imgtoken data:1]Muller's latest video for&nbsp;Kylie is also her second collaboration with creative director and performance director&nbsp;Theo Adams, after the Kylie and Years &amp; Years video for A Second To Midnight, and together they have a devised this delicious scenario in which both Kylie and Jessie play their parts - and perform the song - with suitable relish. In fact, could this&nbsp;be Kylie's first role in a soap since leaving Neighbours...?Adams says of collaborating on the music video with Muller: “It all happened quite organically between us both sitting at her kitchen table cackling away coming up with this fever dream of chaos!"Adams was responsible for recruiting the&nbsp;amazing cast of performers in the video, including&nbsp;nightlife royalty Princess Julia, among others. They are&nbsp;indeed the&nbsp;Theo Adams Company, and they play such a crucial role in bringing effervescent chaos to proceedings -&nbsp;shot in a real&nbsp;Italian restaurant in London's Covent Garden,&nbsp;the garishly maximalist Ave Mario's.[imgtoken data:2]As a result of the location choice, the whole video was shot overnight, when the restaurant was closed. And the&nbsp;shoot itself was undertaken rather like an episode of an 80s Telenovella, as Sophie Muller explains.&nbsp;“The video was all shot on an 80’s news camera - the ikegami 79D three-tube 1980’s colour portable - at a hair raising speed," she says. "And considering the hellishly late night/early morning hours of the shoot, everyone contributed their finest performances.”Apart from the necessary element of chaos - which was possibly quite easy to achieve - the whole&nbsp;kaboodle plays to the artists' strengths. The food connection works for Jessie Ware (cookery writer and podcaster as well as consummate soul singer) and the outrageously camp scenario obviously fits the&nbsp;Kylie iconography&nbsp;like a glove.&nbsp;But not only is this arguably the campiest video she's ever done, she looks utterly iconic in this. And she is funny.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:3]As has been <a href="https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/kylie-minogue-jessie-ware-kiss-of-life-fashion" target="_blank">pointed out elsewhere</a>, the video is also a haute couture spectacle - with the leading ladies decked out in Saint Laurent and Valentino&nbsp;- and this certainly involved a larger than normal&nbsp;glam squad. And it culminates with a rare music video monologue from Kylie, who reads out her five-star review of the restaurant as she types it up on an old typewriter. Well, she's tapping the keys anyway...It's so good. And after this, apparently there's a Kylie collab with disco queen Gloria Gaynor to look forward to...

Kylie Minogue & Jessie Ware 'Kiss Of Life' by Sophie Muller

Kylie Minogue & Jessie Ware - Kiss of Life (Official Video)

Sophie Muller directs the glistening&nbsp;performance video for Kylie’s A Second to Midnight,&nbsp;featuring Years &amp; Years - aka Olly Alexander - and some 'wait, what...?' moments of role-reversal between the two performers.Shot in London's historic Collins' Music Hall, the concept sees the leopard print-clad duo dance around under a spotlight, briefly switching roles - with the clever application of 'hair swap'&nbsp;technology&nbsp;- while the accompanying dancers also 'become' Kylie and Ollie with their use of face masks.&nbsp;&nbsp;Muller collaborated with Theo Adams, in the role of&nbsp;performance director&nbsp;on the song-and-dance routine executed by the pop stars. The results&nbsp;exudes that sense of pure joy that is the hallmark of any great Kylie video, and a complete&nbsp;delight to watch.PRETTYBIRD UK co-founder Juliette Larthe says:&nbsp;"The insanely wonderful pairing of the maverick alchemists of vision and movement, the geniuses&nbsp;of vespertine delights - Sophie Muller and Theo Adams - repeatedly inculcate the aureate of their crafts individually, and now together for the first time with Kylie and Olly. The result is epic-ness of the most MAJORNESS and we utterly love it."

Sophie Muller directs a haunting promo in reverse for regular collaborator Birdy.&nbsp;Following the stripped-back seaside vision for Surrender back in January, the video for Loneliness encompasses the same vulnerability and wistful performance style, with a more conceptual and experimental aesthetic.&nbsp;With cinematography by Robbie Ryan and art direction from Alison Dominitz, Muller&nbsp;mixes contemporary, dilapidated locations with vintage patterns and materials, giving the project a universal and timeless feel. The desaturated colour palettes elevate the melancholic atmosphere, and are reminiscent of their previous collaborations, and one of the director's most iconic visuals, Nelly Furtado's Try.&nbsp;The use of reverse footage adds another layer of surreality to the promo, representing the themes of loss and loneliness, and the feeling that things aren't quite what they seem.&nbsp;

Kylie Minogue 'Magic' by Sophie Muller

Kylie-Minogue-'Magic'-by-Sophie-Muller

Sophie Muller directs a zesty, effervescent promo for Kylie's return to her disco comfort zone.&nbsp;Taking place in the outer reaches of the disco galaxy, the video cycles between glittering performance shots - atop an opulent horse statue, no less - and snippets of choreography, all overlaid with shooting stars and galactic visual effects.&nbsp;The maximalist video&nbsp;pays homage to some of Sophie Muller's strongest work - most comparably&nbsp;the dream sequence in No Doubt's Simple Kind Of Life -&nbsp;but with a fresh and contemporary twist.Kylie's performance is as animated, dynamic and Kylie-esque as ever, encapsulating the fun and unabashed energy of the track whilst reminding her contemporaries why the world first fell in love with her some three decades ago.&nbsp;This is Muller and Minogue's fourth video collaboration together - but the first for a while. Of course it's a match made in Heaven...

Kylie-Minogue-'Say-Something'-by-Sophie-Muller

Rita Ora proceeds over a not-so-ancient ritual in this flawless dance video by Sophie Muller.Muller is the undisputed monarch of the performance video. It is difficult to overstate quite how long and impressive her reel is, let alone her influence on the music industry. While her videos have no obvious identifier, there is a timeless succinctness that carries through her repertoire, and this is a slick example of her light touch.This pared-down take on an pagan ritual for Ora's team-up with Tiësto and&nbsp;Jonas Blue is a pretty good analogy for her style. Muller understands that Rita Ora doesn’t need a multitude of setups to command a video. There is a bold light display, and some typically brilliant choreography from Aaron Sillis. But the ritual&nbsp;magic in question is Ora’s magnetic charisma. And Muller provides her with everything she needs to express it.

The original music video couple, Vaughan Arnell and Robbie Williams, are back for an incredible 16th collaboration.The Heavy Entertainment Show video sees Robbie play all the major roles in a boxing match. Ring announcer&nbsp;Robbie calls the match as two prize fighters (Robbie Vs Robbie) beat the living hell from one another in a battle of golden spit and glamorous ringside entourage complete with make-up that certainly feels like a throwback to Robbie &amp; Vaughan&#39;s Let Me Entertain You video from 1998.

Grant Singer eschews overt sexuality in favour of angst and arguments in this collaboration between Taylor Swift and Zayn Malik, which features on the soundtrack to the film 50 Shades Darker.Shot in the St. Pancras Rennaissance hotel in London, the video starts with Zayn being mobbed by paparazzi before ducking into the hotel to thrash out an argument with Taylor which results in some mild criminal damage. Moody, atmospheric lights and passionate colour choices lead the way in this striking visual.
