Mitski builds herself a tower in AG Rojas's return to music videos with My Love Mine All Mine, shot by Evan Prosofsky.Firstly we see the artist in an empty&nbsp;industrial space, stacking chairs&nbsp;higher and higher, into an improbably tall tower. Eventually, she places an egg under the bottom chair, and proceeds to climb this precarious structure.The track is the first single from Mitski's new album, The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We -&nbsp;comprised of songs written in bursts over the years since&nbsp;Mitski openly contemplated retirement from the music industry, with bravely vulnerable lyrics expressing the universal feelings of aching for and moving toward love.On first viewing the video feels more in the orbit of the singer-songwriter's canon of intriguing, often theatrically intense music videos than the visually poetic work that Rojas is known for. But within this interior setting, the director delivers on his reputation&nbsp;for creating memorable imagery with a strongly symbolic idea that dovetails beautifully with Mitski's sensitive delivery.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Mitski 'My Love Mine All Mine' by AG Rojas

Mitski-'My-Love-Mine-All-Mine'-by-A.g.-Rojas

The human race's symbiotic relationship with nature is explored in AG Rojas' video for Naeem.&nbsp;Exploring the potential of intergenerational healing, the complex and mysterious video - Bon Iver's first live action visual in seven years- focuses on two sets of family members who each encounter a floating rock in the middle of a road. A Father sets his dying adult son in front of this rock, and a Mother encourages it to open up the next day to provide water to cleanse her baby son.&nbsp;Intentionally ambiguous, Naeem is full of symbolism with reference to religion, femininity and intergenerational trauma, and each viewer's perception of the events will no doubt be informed by their life experience. Touching upon powerful and important ideas, the video meditates on the state of our planet and people, and the cycle of life and death that every living being encounters throughout our shared journeys. The word Naeem can be translated as "happiness" or "comfort", suggesting a return to a peaceful existence, the status quo of our earliest ancestors.&nbsp;The power of change and potential for peace is the message we are encouraged to take away from this project, and the importance of questioning life at every corner to ensure we are acting in a way that is mutually beneficial to both the universe and to ourselves.&nbsp;

First came the <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2018/07/19/benny-blanco-halsey-khalid-eastside-jake-schreier/56602" target="_blank">Eastside video</a>, and then <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNXDxUQ4c9U" target="_blank">I Found You</a>. Now the third Benny Blanco video by Jake Schreier takes the compelling narrative technique of Eastside and continues it with a new version of Benny and Calvin Harris&#39;s I Found You, to tell Nilda&#39;s Story. And your&nbsp;heart will be in your mouth.As with Eastside, the ingenuity of the video is how Jake Schreier turns the subjects of media coverage into human beings, and creates something personal and truthful, in a very straightforward method of &#39;show and tell&#39;. In this case, the drives directly at the heart of a huge issue in America right now.[imgtoken data:1]In the same way that Eastside did for Blanco and co-star Halsey, Schreier reveals Nilda&#39;s personal history, the formative moments of her life - not that different to the pop stars in some ways, but very different in&nbsp;others. And he explains why she was compelled to leave her home in Honduras, to attempt the hugely dangerous journey through Central America to illegally enter the United States, with her young son Kayden. And then the traumatic ordeal that ensued after that, involving the removal of the child from his mother.And, perhaps not surprisingly, there is a real purpose behind this hugely impressive, exceptionally timely and inspirational work. The artists and director are drawing viewers&#39; attention to the <a href="http://www.whiletheywait.org" target="_blank">While They Wait Fund</a>, to help illegal immigrants to the US with basic amenities and legal services to help them fight their case to stay&nbsp;in the US.&nbsp;

AG Rojas has created a beautifully-shot meditation on the effect of ethereal beauty in his second video for Florence + The Machine - an emotion that we tend to call Love.As counterpoint to a lovely performance by Florence, this is a story&nbsp;of a glorious work of art: an ancient&nbsp;statue, and its journey from he point of rediscovery in the last century. It&#39;s&nbsp;gazed upon and adored, sometimes loved, but sometimes unseen &ndash; and eventually it&#39;s transformed.&quot;This song is about the ways we look for love in things that are perhaps not love, and how attempts to feel less alone can sometimes isolate us more,&quot; says Florence about Hunger.&nbsp;&quot;I guess I made myself more vulnerable in this song to encourage connection, because perhaps a lot more of us feel this way than we are able to admit. Sometimes when you can&#39;t say it, you can sing it.&quot;While she sings it, AG Rojas has expressed it in this gorgeous video.

AG Rojas heralds the return of Florence + The Machine with an intense and intimate&nbsp;study of an unusually contained Florence Welch, like an old-time photographic shoot, for Sky Full Of Song.Rojas pairs Florence with props upon a hardwood floor, building metaphorical links to the song&#39;s lyrics. It&#39;s beautifully captured by the camera of Evan Prosofsky in a luminous black and white.

One-take videos are no longer a rarity, that&#39;s for sure. And that&#39;s probably why&nbsp;the element of jeopardy that was associated with them, that sense&nbsp;of something momentous happening in real time, is not a given any more. But Jake Schreier&#39;s video for Haim&#39;s Want You Back aspires to be a modern-day&nbsp;Unfinished Sympathy.&nbsp;We&#39;re on Ventura Boulevard&nbsp;at dawn, and as Este Haim starts walking, then joined by sisters Danielle and Alana, it&#39;s uncannily deserted. And as the girls walk and occasionally sing, they are throwing dance moves that exactly reflect different parts in the song.The way its made, in one continuous steadicam move, means&nbsp;it&nbsp;is&nbsp;clearly, imperfectly authentic.&nbsp;That in itself makes Want You Back compelling, and overall, it&#39;s the Haim event we&#39;ve been waiting for. As they reveal, it took a while to get it right.&bull;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/video/3023789/haim-want-you-back-video-original-concept/" target="_blank">MTV</a>: Haim reveal how a car accident inspired their &#39;Want You Back&#39; video&nbsp;<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">big thanks to <a href="https://twitter.com/jakeschreier">@jakeschreier</a> for directing this one take magic on ventura blvd. we went with take 14 btw <a href="https://t.co/EZt4Iwo1SF">https://t.co/EZt4Iwo1SF</a> <a href="https://t.co/OMCMsE0V5a">pic.twitter.com/OMCMsE0V5a</a>&mdash; HAIM (@HAIMtheband) <a href="https://twitter.com/HAIMtheband/status/877943658166747136">June 22, 2017</a></blockquote><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">&nbsp;</blockquote><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Haim 'Want You Back' by Jake Schreier

HAIM - Want You Back (Official Video)

Carrying on their seemingly untouchable video reputation, and clearly not deterred by the&nbsp;recent parody by AJJ, OK Go are back, to step up their video game with more feats of shock, awe, meticulous planning and downright visual bliss. It begs the question will they ever run out of ideas?Hopefully not, as this video is truly a treat to watch. Using high-speed cameras, digital rigs and triggers and a whole heap of maths, the bulk of the video unfolds over a period of time that took just 4.2 seconds to shoot (well, more or less). But a hell of a lot happens in that time. Paint flies everywhere, flipbook animations lip sync to the track, some guitars explode, people fly through the air...All in a day&#39;s work for OK Go. Or several months work, as it almost certainly was. And a&nbsp;full breakdown of the mind-bending clip as written by director/singer Damian Kulash, Jr. can be found&nbsp;here&nbsp;(including a helpful spreadsheet breakdown of all the timings, for you stats enthusiasts).

Florence has come out the other side of the wreckage. For the&nbsp;final chapter of The Odyssey, the film project created to&nbsp;accompany her album How Big How Blue How Beautiful&nbsp;- and also <a href="http://florenceandthemachine.net/" target="_blank">now available to view in full</a>&nbsp;- Florence and Vincent Haycock have&nbsp;come up with a forward-looking&nbsp;finale.The chapter to accompany Third Eye&nbsp;begins&nbsp;on an image of Florence being carried away from fiery rubble, and this revisits many of the themes from the previous chapters one last&nbsp;time. But Florence is now untethered to the demons that had followed her up till now.&nbsp;The video is just a great closing statement -&nbsp;life-affirming and filled with cheer. It&nbsp;takes place at&nbsp;nighttime&nbsp;on the street&nbsp;in front of a dazzling&nbsp;concert hall,&nbsp;where we follow Florence down&nbsp;into the depths of the&nbsp;basement.&nbsp;There,&nbsp;she&nbsp;gets swarmed by dancers&nbsp;once again, in a scene that&nbsp;is highly reminiscent of What Kind Of Man and Delilah.&nbsp;But quickly the tone quickly turns lively and reverent, and then poignant when&nbsp;Florence is led by a musician&nbsp;back onto the&nbsp;stage.

Florence Welch faces her final&nbsp;demons - as well as an actual demon - in this&nbsp;intense video&nbsp;for&nbsp;Delilah, chapter six of the&nbsp;How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful&nbsp;odyssey by Vincent Haycock.&nbsp;It follows&nbsp;<a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/02/16/florence-machine-what-kind-man-vincent-haycock" target="_blank">What Kind Of Man</a>, <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/03/27/florence-machine-st-jude-vincent-haycock" target="_blank">St. Jude</a>, <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/04/15/florence-machine-ship-wreck-vincent-haycock" target="_blank">Ship To Wreck</a>, <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/07/31/florence-machine-queen-peace-and-long-lost-vincent-haycock" target="_blank">Queen of Peace and&nbsp;Long &amp; Lost</a>, and sees a Florence at the epicentre of spiritual&nbsp;chaos,&nbsp;playing out with expected dramatic&nbsp;furor in a filmically&nbsp;drab motel.The video starts out with a scene&nbsp;in the motel&#39;s reception as&nbsp;Florence listens&nbsp;to a preacher&#39;s counsel concerning&nbsp;her loss of faith. Soon after, she enters&nbsp;a&nbsp;vortex of religious symbolism,&nbsp;characterised by painterly compositions&nbsp;reminiscent&nbsp;of baroque&nbsp;paintings alongside sequences of&nbsp;what appear to be&nbsp;cult members&nbsp;in&nbsp;writhing prayer.The video mirrors elements we&#39;ve seen previously, such as the&nbsp;confrontational&nbsp;mob,&nbsp;the frenzied dance sequences&nbsp;and doubled&nbsp;Florences.&nbsp;However,&nbsp;Delilah is&nbsp;also full of thrilling and unexpected&nbsp;imagery&nbsp;such as a nightmarish vision&nbsp;of a&nbsp;demon looming over her sleep - inspired by gothic masterpiece <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nightmare" target="_blank">The Nightmare</a> &ndash;&nbsp;and the unveiling of Florence&#39;s double as someone else, someone who is not really her.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Florence + The Machine - Delilah (The Odyssey – Chapter 6)

Vincent Haycock has directed this understated yet quietly powerful short film for the U2 track Song For Someone, starring Woody Harrelson as a prisoner who is being released from the relative security of jail after years of incarceration,&nbsp;back into the&nbsp;outside world.With camerawork by Steve Annis, the core of the video is a single shot of&nbsp;the increasingly emotional Harrelson leaving the confines of prison, passing through the gate and meeting the person who&#39;s there to take him away - his daughter (played by the actor&#39;s real-life daughter, Zoe Harrelson), who greets him with an awkward handshake, and monosyllibic responses to his tentative comments.&nbsp;&nbsp;It&#39;s subtly played, and fully believable. Premiered on <a href="http://www.sundance.tv/series/rectify/blog/2015/07/watch-the-full-short-film-song-for-someone-featuring-music-by-u2-starring-woody-harrelson" target="_blank">Sundance TV</a>,&nbsp;Vince Haycock&#39;s film thematically links to RECTIFY, SundanceTV&rsquo;s Peabody award-winning series that follows the story of Daniel Holden and his family as they struggle to move forward after Daniel&rsquo;s release from 19 years on death row.&nbsp;

U2 - Song For Someone

AG Rojas&#39;s ambitious and arguably controversial video for Run The Jewels&#39; Close Your Eyes (And Count To Fuck), featuring Zack de la Rocha from Rage Against The Machine, addresses the controversy over American police brutality towards the African American community by imagining it as a one-on-one conflict&nbsp;between two individuals - the white cop and the black citizen.It&#39;s beautifully crafted, with amazing cinematography by&nbsp;Michael Ragen.&nbsp;It&#39;s also a surprisingly&nbsp;ambiguous exercise, in which the personalities of the actors (Shea Whigham&nbsp;and&nbsp;Keith Stanfield)&nbsp;and the extreme&nbsp;physical demands of their roles - has an inevitable impact on what we&#39;re seeing. It&#39;s not quite a case of mutual hatred, and in fact, there is no &#39;bad guy&#39; here. It may seem to run&nbsp;counter to the fierce polemic for which RTJ&#39;s Killer Mike and El-P (to say nothing of De la Rocha) have become renowned.&nbsp;But they say it gels with their views that&nbsp;it&#39;s the whole system, rather than rogue individuals, that is the problem.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&quot;This video represents the futile and exhausting existence of a purgatory-like law enforcement system,&quot; says Killer Mike&nbsp;&quot;There is no neat solution at the end because there is no neat solution in the real world. &nbsp;However, there is an opportunity for dialogue and to change the way communities are policed in this country. &nbsp;Salutes to AG Rojas for his unique take on the subject matter and to Shea and Keith for giving us their all and bringing it to life.&quot;[imgtoken data:1]
