Sophie Muller directs a mesmeric performance promo for Kylie Minogue. In fact, this is Kylie, pure and simple - no distractions at all.So for Miss A Thing, we just have the glamourous disco diva, dripping in diamante, luxuriating in her domain - a black studio space.&nbsp;Shot by Robbie Ryan - and filmed on the vintage ikegami 79D TV cameras that were&nbsp;also used for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/11/18/kylie-minogue-jessie-ware-kiss-life-sophie-muller/73851" target="_blank">the Kiss Of Life video</a> - Muller just trusts in the sheer iconic status of her subject to prove you can remove everything else, and&nbsp;make a great Kylie video. In fact, distilling everything to the essentials just makes it better. &nbsp;Footage is&nbsp;layered into a hypnotic montage, with&nbsp;simple mirror VFX enhancing the mood, with the vintage camera adding texture. It is a characteristially Muller-esque display of confidence in its own simplicity. She knows that every so often, less is more.&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]

Kylie Minogue & Gloria Gaynor 'Can't Stop Writing Songs About You' by Sophie Muller

Kylie-Minogue-X-Gloria-Gaynor-'Can't-Stop-Writing-Songs-About-You-'-by-Sophie-Muller

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 '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...

A very happy one too, as she performs, changes costume, and brings her kids and husband into her day,&nbsp;with numerous cutaways to 'behind the scenes' footage, which then merges into the studio shoot, with plenty of joyful goofing around. And throughout, the artist formerly known as Baby Spice&nbsp;looks as radiant sunny as ever.&nbsp;
