Floria Sigismondi returns to music videos with a theatrical blockbuster for Sam Smith's chart-topping Unholy,&nbsp;featuring Kim Petras.Shot in London, this eye-popping extravaganza&nbsp;is a musical set-piece packed with flair, pizzazz and sexual energy - with Sam as the charismatic MC of a small army of show-people at&nbsp;The Body Shop, the LGBTQ+ cabaret where lustful dreams come true.&nbsp;With cameos by Gottmik and Violet Chachki from RuPaul's Drag Race,&nbsp;and porn star Paddy O'Brian, the film follows a husband who ducks out on his wife and sneaks off to his favorite sex club cabaret, where he soon finds his guilty pleasures revealed in a very public manner. After discovering her husband’s unfaithful ways, the film concludes with the wife character becoming liberated by her own sexuality, rather than a victim to the scandal.A modern retelling of the spectacle of cabaret, Sigismondi&nbsp;has drawn upon her&nbsp;upbringing for this - she was born to Italian opera singer parents, and grew up amid the theatrical and the avant-garde&nbsp;- and applied her&nbsp;trademark cinematic style previously seen in her award-winning work for the likes of Gucci, Rihanna, David Bowie, and Justin Timberlake.Choreographed by French dance collective (LA)HORDE, who are famed for their ability to develop scenarios and actions that take up radically contemporary themes and questions, the seductive music video is a visual feast led by a diverse and queer cast.With references to French surrealist photographer Claude Cahun and noted corset maker of the late 20th Century, Mr. Pearl, the video’s costume designer Lisa Jarvis created an impressive range of otherworldly looks for the enormous ensemble, who were cast&nbsp;by Hannah Ashby Ward at Lane Casting (an LGBTQ+ owned company) to showcase&nbsp;real, diverse and unapologetic bodies.&nbsp;Floria Sigismondi, Director, comments: “I grew up in the world of theatre and opera. This film presented the platform for me to reach deep into that history. It was important to me to bring the theatrics and drama to the film while also giving it a modern feel. We were not interested in creating a period piece. We wanted to create our own world. The theatre and setting gave us the history of cabaret but the costumes broadened that and injected a modern element. For me it's a celebration of the LGBTQ+ community and creating that celebration was the most important and joyous experience."Jannie McInnes, Executive Producer at Scheme Engine, adds: “The creative excellence and expression across departments on this project completely blew my mind. Floria sets a high bar, inspires people to bring their most creative selves and she wants everyone to have fun doing it. We are really grateful to Sam and the label for affording us the luxury of real prep time and we used every second of it!”Lisa Jarvis, Wardrobe Stylist, continues: “I've been a fan of Floria's work for quite a while, and as soon as I saw the mood board and heard A Clockwork Orange, Claude Cahun, Mr. Pearl, Crazy Horse, I knew it was right up my alley and would be hella fun to dive into. Taking the references in mind, I wanted to create a world where there was a huge range of visual looks and everyone embraced them. It needed to be otherworldly, opulent, sensual, and a little bit intoxicating to watch with more than a strong twist of naughty.” &nbsp;

Father John Misty&#39;s audacious merging of Tiny Dancer-era Elton John with the Apocalypse has been rewarded with this marvellous stop motion-animated video by Chris Hopewell.For Things It Would Have Been Helpful To Know Before The Revolution, Hopewell visualises an account from the other side of the great apocalyptic event that has destroyed civilisation, using puppets. A survivor trawls through a devastated landscape collecting the once-prized, now useless objects of our current age, encountering other strange survivors - like beer-slugging cockroaches in denim jackets - on her travels.It took Hopewell - who has made a comeback to music video since his Radiohead video for Burn The Witch last year - and his small team in his Bristol-based studio Jacknife just three weeks to construct&nbsp;and film the video. It has been partnered by the <a href="https://www.edf.org/" target="_blank">Environmental Defense Fund</a>, and from August 3rd to the 11th, the puppets in the video are being auctioned on <a href="http://www.ebay.com/usr/fatherjohnmistyofficial" target="_blank">Father John Misty&#39;s eBay page</a>, to raise money for EDF.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&quot;Father John Misty&#39;s new video is a powerful statement -- a postcard from a world we never want to visit,&quot; said ​Eric Pooley, senior vice president at Environmental Defense Fund,&nbsp;in a statement accompanying the release of the video. &quot;That&#39;s why EDF is proud to partner with Father John Misty, and why we work every day to catalyze the &#39;visionaries among us&#39; who can help forge a better, more optimistic future. For 50 years, EDF has driven innovative solutions that help people and nature prosper. We use cutting edge science and technology and unexpected alliances to scale positive change. We&#39;re earning our middle name every day, and we&#39;re so grateful to Father John Misty for his support.&quot;&nbsp;

Kid Cudi&#39;s latest self-directed video - under his real name Scott Mescudi &ndash; sees him throwing a dance party with A$AP Rocky, Willow &amp; Jaden Smith&nbsp;as some of the celebrity guests.&nbsp;But in light of recent news about the artist, this otherwise carefree video now comes with some dark undertones.It&#39;s a roaming camera affair with as many different coloured lights as you can throw at a video, whilst Cudi and company just dance the night away. However, with lyrics such as&nbsp;&quot;The industry is so full of shit / Welcome y&#39;all to the enema / Nah man, no subliminal / &#39;Cause they insecure, they know who they are&quot;, combined with Cudi&#39;s recent clashes with Drake and Kanye,&nbsp;and the fact that he recently checked himself into rehab for &quot;depression and suicidal urges&quot;, the video now takes on the melancholic context of being Cudi&#39;s one last hedonistic hurrah before taking steps to repair himself.&nbsp;

After David LaChapelle&#39;s initial attempt at a video for this song was apparently canned for being &quot;too sexy&quot; we&#39;re treated to Randee St. Nicholas&#39; version, which delivers the acceptable amount of sexy for a Britney video.In it, we see Britney and her gang of pals audition a seemingly endless stream of perfectly&nbsp;chiseled, shirtless men (and one fat guy with a fedora) for her music video - the music video you&#39;re currently watching!&nbsp;It&#39;s all very post-modern, I assure you. Then, when she finds the perfect hunk, she takes him for a little &#39;private time&#39; in an adjacent room whilst her friends look on with voyeuristic joy from a director&#39;s monitor.Really makes you wonder what LaChapelle&#39;s version had to push it over the threshold. How sexy is &#39;too sexy&#39; indeed?&nbsp;

Ryan Hope has delivered this hugely stylish, impeccably-shot monochrome&nbsp;video for Zayn Malik&#39;s It&#39;s You, a clip whose strength lies in its&nbsp;crestfallen&nbsp;atmosphere and meditative pacing.&nbsp;Taking place a&nbsp;stylish LA celebrity home, Zayn&#39;s quiet ode is artfully&nbsp;brought to life through simple, considered&nbsp;imagery; Zayn looking out at the unattainable girl of&nbsp;his dreams as she steps in the&nbsp;pool or&nbsp;the flutter of her long gown as she walks to her car.&nbsp;The game of the unrequited lovers&#39;&nbsp;two-sided, secretive&nbsp;contemplation is rendered all the more compelling through its&nbsp;brooding, deliberate visual qualities.&nbsp;

Queen Bey reclining on top of a patrol car that&#39;s sinking into rising floodwaters is one of the controversial&nbsp;images in her New Orleans-set video for Formation - directed by longtime collaborator Melina. It&#39;s not as incendiary&nbsp;as her Black Panther-referencing performance at the Superbowl the day after the video&#39;s release, but its implicit&nbsp;criticism of the police, together with her wide-ranging celebration of the American black experience, is a Beyoncé-shaped addition to the&nbsp;Black Lives Matter cause.The video also uses footage that was originally shot for the New Orleans&#39; bounce documentary&nbsp;<a href="https://vimeo.com/58423297" target="_blank">That B.E.A.T.</a>&nbsp;- which caused a furore in the hours&nbsp;after its release on Saturday (Feb 6th). Then it was cleared up, with Beyoncé&#39;s representatives releasing a statement saying&nbsp;that the footage had been &quot;used with permission and licensed from the owner of the footage,&quot; and the documentary&#39;s makers, including Abteen Bagheri and Chris Black, duly credited.&nbsp;

John Newman is still&nbsp;championing his retro soul sound on&nbsp;Come and Get It, the first&nbsp;single from his second album. But the singer has undergone a physical&nbsp;transformation. Now slimmed down, he plays a chic&nbsp;male icon caught up in the glitz and glamour of&nbsp;singer-songwriting success, in&nbsp;the stylish LA-set video&nbsp;directed by Alex Herron.It sees Newman vying&nbsp;for the love of a beautiful woman, and left to smoulder darkly over his grand piano when she leaves him to return home to her partner - who has&nbsp;a few problems of his own.&nbsp;The black and white photography is beautiful, and finally, when the girl has made her choice,&nbsp;lush colour seeps into the image, starting with her hot-red stilettos as she walks into the foyer to console her&nbsp;new man...

Florence Welch has landed back on solid ground in her video for St. Jude, the melancholic&nbsp;sequel to <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/02/16/florence-machine-what-kind-man-vincent-haycock" target="_blank">What Kind Of Man</a>.&nbsp;It&#39;s the second part&nbsp;of the emerging series of videos&nbsp;to&nbsp;compliment her third studio album&nbsp;How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful &ndash; due to be released June 1st in the UK &ndash; by&nbsp;director <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/interviews/she-isn%E2%80%99t-afraid-anything-%E2%80%93-vincent-haycock-directing-florence-welch" target="_blank">Vincent Haycock</a>, and shot in the same Mexico-based locations as What Kind Of Man. But&nbsp;this&nbsp;is an&nbsp;infinitely restrained and sober proposal when compared to&nbsp;the raging intensity of the&nbsp;previous work.&nbsp;The video, like the lyrics,&nbsp;are somewhat&nbsp;fatalistic and yet&nbsp;filled with beauty and&nbsp;hope.&nbsp;A very blue, solitary&nbsp;Florence meanders&nbsp;through the streets&nbsp;and muses&nbsp;over the loss of a&nbsp;relationship that was&nbsp;doomed from the start. Painfully love-struck, she had prayed to&nbsp;&#39;the patron-saint of lost causes&#39;&nbsp;with the full knowledge that the whole affair&nbsp;was&nbsp;ill-fated. The heart wants what it wants...[imgtoken data:1] &nbsp;

Florence + The Machine 'St. Jude' by Vincent Haycock

Florence + The Machine - St Jude

Following the delightfully dreamlike teaser for the third Florence album How Big How Blue How Beautiful, the first music video proper is a much more intense proposition. But on the basis of Florence&#39;s&nbsp;previous collaborations with director Vincent Haycock, such as the powerful <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2012/11/20/florence-machine-lover-lover-vincent-haycock" target="_blank">Lover To Lover</a>,&nbsp;that shouldn&#39;t be a&nbsp;surprise.But the video for What Kind Of man&nbsp;achieves to a surprising new level of emotional and physical&nbsp;exposure as it evolves into a non-linear drama, depicting a&nbsp;love that&rsquo;s gone painfully awry.&nbsp;Shot in Mexico, it&#39;s riveting and cinematic in equal measure. And in the most surprising and disturbing dance sequence, after her vulnerability in her relationship&nbsp;is revealed - she is thrown to the dogs.&nbsp;Choreographed by Ryan Heffington,&nbsp;hordes of hungry men threaten to consume what is left of her after the wreckage. Scrambling to regain control, she has barely enough agency left to react.&nbsp;And if that isn&#39;t enough, the video features one of the most shocking vehicle collisions caught on camera...&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
