Billie Eilish is a choking fallen angel in this oily creature feature, directed by Rich Lee. This part-sequel to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUHC9tYz8ik">Bury a Friend</a> feels like the spiritual culmination of the various themes and motifs that circulate in Eilish’s artistry: the use of the abject, the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyDfgMOUjCI">gallows humour</a>, the <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2018/10/30/billie-eilish-when-partys-over-carlos-lopez-estrada/55713">black viscera</a>, and the burdensome injustices handed to the youth.It is testament to Eilish - the salience of her mythology and her unshakeable fanbase - that this single and video are even allowed to exist. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79fzeNUqQbQ">Gyrating in front of a crucifix</a> may have done Madonna more good than bad in 1988. But conventional wisdom tends to decree that, if you have the profile, and you’re itching to piss off American Christians, do it gently. And with enough cynicism to give yourself some plausible deniability. But thanks to this eagerly macabre video, and a couple of choice lyrics (“even God herself … will want the Devil on her team”), the young star has developed a <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/shortcuts/2019/sep/09/is-billie-eilish-a-devil-worshipper-hell-no">reputation as a Satan worshipper</a>.But Eilish’s stunt mangling of Christian symbolism belies a more urgent message. Timed to coincide with the 2019 Climate Action Summit, the video is an environmental call to arms. This hellish vision of the future alludes to both oil spills and the 2018 California Wildfires.This is Rich Lee’s second monster movie released this month. Eilish’s shuffling angel is a cousin of Lana Del Rey’s vengeful giantess in <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2019/09/11/lana-del-rey-doin-time-rich-lee/60720">Doin’ Time</a>. The two videos share a similar crew, including Christopher Probst, ASC and Production Designer Brandon Mendez. The pyro, wings and oil were all achieved using partially practical effects.

Look up! It’s the Queen of Monsters. Lana Del Rey plays a vengeful giantess in this woozy romp by Rich Lee.In an allusion to the ’50s B Movie Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, Del Rey wanders peacefully through downtown Los Angeles towards Venice Beach. Suddenly, the video changes gear. It’s revealed that this entire setup was just a sequence from a pulpy drive-in movie. A different Lana watches, replete in a blonde Shake-N-Go wig, and wonders where her no-good date has gone. Then, in a sublime fantasia, the giantess Lana dances on Venice Beach, before emerging from the screen in a blast of sand to wreak havoc in the real world.Rich Lee is Del Rey’s current go-to director, and this video comes hot off the heels of their double video for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrSX_OcpeJg">Fuck It I Love You/The Greatest</a>. Less recently, he directed a cosmic delight for<a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2017/02/22/lana-del-rey-love-rich-lee/46369"> Love</a>. Doin’ Time was shot by Christopher Probst, ASC and edited by Logan Hefflefinger.Allegedly, the video’s schedule forced them to shoot Lana’s elements before the backgrounds, making this a wild achievement for the crew and VFX team. You can catch a glimpse of Lee’s storyboards <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BocWK7sPsVY">here</a>.Who knew that after all this time and speculation about her perceived authenticity, the enigmatic singer was actually guarding a wicked sense of humour. For an artist who has built an entire mythology out of restraint and careful repetition, this is an unusual deviation - a rare foray into kitsch comedy. But in a way, nothing could be more Lana Del Rey than a 50ft Lana Del Rey reclining in the LA basin on a hot afternoon. The risk paid off; this ranks amongst the her most iconic videos.

The latest Taylor Swift video directed by Joseph Kahn was never going to&nbsp;be anything less than spectacular, and this one for Wildest Dreams was shot on location in Africa. An extraordinary version of Africa it is too: the wild animals&nbsp;are tame, and actual Africans are as rare as hen&#39;s teeth.This colonial-era&nbsp;tale of thwarted love, with Swift as an Ava Gardner or Liz Taylor-type movie star shooting a Mojambo-style movie with a handsome hunk (played by Scott Eastwood, son of Clint), lacks the bite of Blank Space and bombast of Bad Blood. But the singer has pledged that what she makes from the video - presumably from plays and pre-roll ads on YouTube - will go to a wildlife charity. So start watching.

Macklemore &amp; Ryan Lewis are back and&nbsp;at it again in this jawdropper of a production number for Downtown,&nbsp;self-directed by Ben Haggerty (aka Macklemore), Lewis and&nbsp;regular collaborator Jason Koenig).&nbsp;Very much in the spirit of everything from Thrift Shop onwards, its a spectacle that throws loads of&nbsp;ideas, involves a cast of literally thousands, and all with that special Macklemore exuberance and likeably homespun pizzazz. And it took&nbsp;a production team from three production companies&nbsp;all summer to bring it home.&nbsp;And it all starts with an ecstatic&nbsp;ode to mopeds,&nbsp;and the golden age of hip-hop. Then it follows&nbsp;Macklemore through a retro-fied&nbsp;Spokane, Washington, backed by his b-boy&nbsp;crew, as they&nbsp;get&nbsp;down in&nbsp;some&nbsp;excellent&nbsp;West&nbsp;Side Story style&nbsp;dance battles, and joins in on some stylish&nbsp;bikers parades &ndash; culminating in an over-the-top&nbsp;parade of epic&nbsp;proportions to rival an MGM musical.&nbsp;A big hats off to that production team.
