The Stepford Wives&nbsp;meets Alice in Wonderland as Charlie&nbsp;Sarsfield&nbsp;transports us to a surreal world where&nbsp;Rita Ora endures a fictional wedding from hell.The&nbsp;vibrant visual for You Only Love Me features scenes of a bride’s day turned tumultuously upside-down, in which Sarsfield was inspired by Tim Burton and Wes Anderson for the LA-shot video - and features a cameo by none other than Sharon Stone.Charlie Sarsfield says:&nbsp;"The concept for ‘You Only Love Me’ is centered around a nightmare wedding but we wanted it to feel somewhere in between a dream and a nightmare, where everything is continually going wrong but building up incrementally throughout the visual.[imgtoken data:1]"We cast a group of ‘bad-maids’ around Rita, focussed on making the day amazing for themselves, rather than Rita. Colour plays a really important role in this. The ‘bad-maids’ are dressed in bright, clashing colours, whereas Rita is in a neutral palette throughout, highlighting the idea that she is out of place in a surreal world."I drew inspiration from directors such as Tim Burton and Wes Anderson in terms of colour, shooting style, production design and accessories. Pairing slow camera zooms and vibrant colours with bold outfits and wigs, reminiscent of movies such as ‘Edward Scissorhands’. "Rita was truly amazing, she is an artist that knows her strengths and she gave a great performance. The video is a bold release, stepping away from the traditional pop video and making something that we both wanted to make. We had a lot of fun in the process too!”

Following their collaboration on <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/11/07/louis-tomlinson-out-my-system-charlie-sarsfield/79113" target="_blank">Out Of My System</a>, Charlie Sarsfield reunites with Louis Tomlinson&nbsp;for a&nbsp;second video, this time for latest release Silver Tongues.&nbsp;The nostalgic promo pays homage to a lost youth through a series of powerful portraits and setups, with Louis as the focal point who connects each story.&nbsp;Threads of a narrative run through the video, but the heart of the concept is in the evocative vignettes, which exude raw emotion and universally relatable situations.&nbsp;Aside from being gorgeously shot and crafted, the casting is spot-on, and these characters feel like people that you may know, leaning into the powerful nostalgia of youth and the feelings of time gone by.

Charlie Sarsfield directs a surprisingly intense promo for Louis Tomlinson's comeback single.&nbsp;The pop-punk vibes of new track Out Of My System are visualised through fast-paced camerawork and saturated red lighting, with distorted frame rates and close-up&nbsp;angles&nbsp;to elevate the stylised concept.&nbsp;The enclosed location works perfectly as a contrast to the dynamism of the concept, with the frantic energy threatening to bubble over and spill through the walls.&nbsp;It's a thoroughly impactful way&nbsp;for Tomlinson to mark his return to action.&nbsp;

Jordan Rossi directs an empassioned promo for South African singer-songwriter, actor and novelist Nakhane, featuring Perfume Genius, with a work that takes its cue from some pillars of Queer cinema and art.&nbsp;The video for Do You Well begins&nbsp;with Nakhane and their love interest glistening under sparkling lights in a studio space, and then&nbsp;battling to create a common ground, before finally connecting with each other.&nbsp;Gorgeous and thrilling, the video visualises a complex set of emotions in a stylish and thought-provoking manner, and the end result is wonderfully alluring.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]"Nakhane already had a concept for this video," Rossi reveals.&nbsp;"It was very much centred around a wrestling encounter between two people in a homoerotic fashion. They wanted to express the idea of a duel and the ridiculous nature of aggressive masculinity."Nakhane and I drew inspiration from lots of Queer art and cinema such as Pink Narcissus by James Bidgood, Querelle by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Moonlight by Barry Jenkins and Sebastien by Derek Jarman. We also looked at features like Fight Club and Shame - both dealing with masculinity, sex and relationships in a unique manner.[imgtoken data:2]"Visually, I wanted a really deep and textured image with lots of energy. Tony Scott's turbulent yet cinematically rich style of compressed imagery was a huge source of inspiration here.&nbsp;"It's not every day you get to make projects such as this so a huge shout out goes to Faye who commissioned it, the record label for giving us complete creative freedom and Nakhane for being such a trusting collaborator."

The latest in a super campaign of videos for the new Danger Mouse and Black Thought album Cheat Codes by UK creative team UNCANNY is a brilliant take on the everyday for an awesome team-up of hiphop talent.As Black Thought,&nbsp;A$AP Rocky, El-P and Killer Mike film themselves on an iPhone performing their parts of Strangers - in portrait-mode - this is most definitely, on one level, a self-shot video.But these are not selfies. The trick is seeing the artists holding the iPhone they are filming with, which stays at the centre of the screen throughout.UNCANNY - George Muncey &amp; Elliott Elder - have hooked up a rig for the iPhone&nbsp;which actually might be quite straitforward, probably involving a mirror, but is also simply ingenious.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Jordan Rossi takes Craig David into a colourful surrealist adventure for his video for&nbsp;My Heart's Been Waiting For You.Craig performs this garage-influenced club hit in a serious of increasingly surreal settings, with outer space encroaching into modern-day London. And periodically everything then suddenly ramps up into another dazzling visual dimension.[imgtoken data:1]"The brief was wide open," explains Rossi.&nbsp;"All that was stated was they wanted a green screen video that had the vibe of Craig's tour footage. I took that and ran with it, and wanted to craft a luminous surrealist fantasy that was equal parts Dali with Craig's R&amp;B-pop aesthetic."Craig was the best collaborator a director could ask for. Hugely respectful of the art but always wanted to push the boundaries creatively. It meant that what was a green screen video became a smash of reality and illusion in the most entrancing of ways. The final result is a fantasia of colour and other worldly scenarios. All seemingly familiar but with a twist."

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]

Yassa Khan ushers in a momentous meeting of two icons, Soft Cell and Pet Shop Boys, in the nostalgic promo for Purple Zone.&nbsp;The video combines performance with portraiture-style narrative setups of a diverse variety of characters,&nbsp;celebrating both the 1980s and present day through bold styling and art direction choices. Frozen in an anachronistic time capsule, it's an uncanny yet wildly effective concept, which visualises both group's longstanding success.&nbsp;Soft Cell and Pet Shop Boys all make an appearance - in a playful ice cream truck vignette and pulling pints behind a bar, respectively - and the overall vibe of the video feels light-hearted, celebratory and above all, entertaining.&nbsp;

Things get messy in Jackson Ducasse's video for Wilkinson, featuring&nbsp;alt-pop newcomer Issey Cross.&nbsp;The latest release from the drum 'n bass legend gets a chromatic visual full of neon colours and glossy cinematography.&nbsp;Cutting between close-up shots of coloured paint on a pulsating speaker, and featured artist Cross spreading paint all over her body, the concept is very much interpretive of the lyrics and straight to the point, in the best way possible.&nbsp;

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...
