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;

Lana Del Rey and director Anthony Mandler continue their successful collaboration with the release of the&nbsp;27-minute modern biblical epic Tropico, set to three tracks from Lana&#39;s album Born To Die - The Paradise Edition.The promo, a three-part tale inspired by the story of the Garden Of Eden with Del Rey as Eve and model Shaun Ross as Adam, received its big-screen premiere at the famed Hollywood Arclight Cinerama Dome on December 4th before hitting Vevo the next day.Mandler&#39;s mini-movie&nbsp;opens with Adam and Eve dancing seductively to Del Rey&#39;s Body Electric in the doomed garden - surrounded by a holographic cast of characters including Jesus Christ, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and John Wayne.Following the bite of the apple, we&#39;re transported to modern day Los Angeles where images of seediness and debauchery unfold to Gods And Monsters where&nbsp;the third and final section sees the pair cleansed of their sins to the soothing sound of orchestral ballad&nbsp;Bel Air. It&#39;s quite something...

For the don't give a damn vibe of the new Avril Lavigne single, Marcus Raboy shoots a suitably fast-paced 'girl about town doing her own thing' promo matching the thundering 60's-goes-urban feel of What The Hell.
Commencing with a glaring plug for her new perfume range, Lavigne returns to her stroppy teenage roots with a fine performance. Also shot in 3D.
