Pepi Ginsberg directs an enchanting promo for John Cale, for new track Noise Of You.Taken from his first album in a decade, the video features snapshots of Cale's life - including photos, videos and notes - layered over documentary footage of his former home of New York City.&nbsp;Blending the past and present with a gentle touch, the video is a conversation between two periods of time, and feels both poignant and celebratory.&nbsp;The multiformat aesthetic is refreshing yet nostalgic, and the inclusion of spoken word elevates this feeling.&nbsp;A powerful watch, which is utterly absorbing from start to end.&nbsp;

Avant-garde pop songstress Syv De Blare bids farewell to a lover, whilst simultaneously embracing her womanhood,&nbsp;in the video for Wake - a collaboration between the artist and Margot Bowman.&nbsp;Opening in a red room enveloped in a feathered wedding dress, De Blare&nbsp;embodies three characters, each remarking on different identities and societal expectations. As a bride, showgirl and popstar, the multifaceted performance and wardrobe choices embody ideas of possession, commodity and the pressure put on women and their bodies.&nbsp;Mclean Francis' striking art direction elevates these themes, using bold reds and blues to create a sense of frustration and confinement. Margot&nbsp;Bowman's background in creative direction helps create a succinct and arresting concept that is not only intoxicating to watch, but holds an important message at its core.&nbsp;

Colourful makeup and tonnes of glitter? Check. Absurdly muscled guys in skimpy pink shorts and animal masks? Check.&nbsp;Pinch yourself and check if you're dreaming, because 2010&nbsp;Kesha (without the $ sign in her name) is back with the video for My Own Dance, directed by Allie Avital. Celebrating the hungover parties&nbsp;and the surreal party-pop visuals&nbsp;that cement her videos as some of the most standout of the decade, My Own Dance focuses on a motel full of the weirdest and wildest characters LA has to offer.&nbsp;This is Kesha at her most free;&nbsp;liberated and quirky, with attitude to boot. The moments of her performing choreography alone in a parking lot are offbeat yet weirdly charming and intimate. It's great to see an artist strip back&nbsp;to who they are and what they want to project and feel - and if anyone in the industry&nbsp;deserves the freedom to live their truth, it's Kesha.And with pastel colours, daddies and patriotic bodybuilders, the artist is making sure we know she is here to both stay and slay with her new sound.&nbsp;

Allie Avital brings us a mesmerising glimpse into the dramatic, chaotic and romantic world of Serpentwithfeet for the song Cherubim - described as an unsettling musical collision of Brandy and Tom Waits.Avital&#39;s video is a portrait of Serpent and his partner in a charmingly discombobulated house packed with knick-knacks, where there is a lot of dancing&nbsp;and, quite clearly, a lot of love.

Having explored Africa, so to speak, with Baby Love and Milk Bath, Petite Meller now heads for somewhere really remote. And it turns out that the girl with the rouged cheeks and vintage swimwear (and lots more interesting clothing besides)&nbsp;fits in pretty well in Outer Mongolia.&nbsp;The video for The Flute is the latest and probably final chapter in a series that has been helmed thoughout by Asaf T Mann, and (in most cases)&nbsp;fashion photographer Napoleon Habeica, and whether or not you consider Meller&#39;s Lolita-like personal style&nbsp;strange, or even controversial, this has been a remarkable&nbsp;project - where fashion meets anthropology meets comedy.&nbsp;In this one - which took a&nbsp;a week to shoot in northern Mongolia &ndash;&nbsp;Petite &quot;finds her Source&quot;. Among other things that&nbsp;involves her having some bizarre and&nbsp;funny&nbsp;exchanges with a trio of Mongolian horsemen. It&#39;s a fitting end-point, if that&#39;s what it is.

Petite Meller&#39;s breakthrough hit with&nbsp;<a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/01/23/petite-meller-baby-love-atmann-napoleon-habeica" target="_blank">Baby Love</a>&nbsp;came with a memorable&nbsp;video shot in Kenya featuring dancing schoolchildren and a pair of giraffes. It was the first exposure to Meller&#39;s bizarrely cutesy persona for many, but&nbsp;it actually was just the latest in a series of collaborations with the&nbsp;directors&nbsp;Asaf T. Mann and Napoleon Habeica.&nbsp;And now the video for her&nbsp;new single, Barbaric, has the Parisian alt-pop starlet&nbsp;collaborating with the&nbsp;duo again,&nbsp;and following along the same visual language. It&#39;s another of Meller&#39;s &#39;voyage videos&#39; - and this time set in Miami.&nbsp;The tight-knit crew,&nbsp;involving stylist Nao Koyabu &ndash; who work closely in developing all aspects of Meller&rsquo;s videos from the original treatment to the casting, the location and the overall look and feel of each piece &ndash; hit Miami&#39;s retirement communities, ArtDeco facades, and golf courses - with &#39;cannibalistic&#39;&nbsp;dance moves!&nbsp;

The interactive music video becomes a little more personalised in MNDR&#39;s video for C.L.U.B. by new directing team fourclops - courtesy of HTML5 and your Facebook page.The C.L.U.B. video takes the viewer on a journey which begins with their spontaneous trip to New York, hanging out at a hipster party in Brooklyn with MNDR and friends, and then finding unlikely (yet convincingly rendered) fame and fortune. The story is all viewed through an iPhone (on the webpage) and once connected to their Facebook profile, the viewer sees their profile information along with name and photos of their friends integrated into the storyline in numerous ways, and employing many familiar apps as well as Facebook functions.And it really does feel personalised: if you have New York based FB friends, they will &#39;text&#39; you to make social plans. A significant friend will text, miffed that you&#39;ve stood them up.It was developed in HTML5 for MNDR and the O Music Awards by fourclops - that&#39;s Eli Stonberg and Jeff Greco, now officially a directing team although they have worked together before, not least on Eli&#39;s charming interactive video for Au Revoir Simone&#39;s Knight Of Wands. And it follows the <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/2012/05/29/young-empires-white-doves-by-miles-jay/" target="_blank">Young Empires&#39; White Doves video</a>, which also uses HTML5 and Facebook to achieve the kind of personalisation first achieved by Chris Milk&#39;s Wilderness Downtown project for Arcade Fire.Eli Stonberg on the making of the interactive video for MNDR&#39;s C.L.U.B.&quot;The project came about when the O Music Awards approached us about a potential collaboration in association with their &quot;Unboxed&quot; event. They knew about us because our video for Au Revoir Simone was previously nominated in the O Music Awards for &quot;Most Innovative Music Video&quot;. The concert featured in the video was an event called &quot;O Music Awards Unboxed&quot; at Webster Hall. While the concert was going on we ran around with cameras filming guerilla style.&quot;Jeff and I have been working together for years and it felt like good timing to form a team. With fourclops, we&#39;re really excited to explore new forms of interactive entertainment combining filmmaking with the new tools that the web offers.&quot;Here&#39;s an overview of the interactive features in the video: ? Facebook Photos: Your profile picture appears as the iPhone Homescreen and on a tour poster with MNDR. ? Texts: You receive texts from MNDR and various facebook friends. Once you arrive in New York, you receive texts from Facebook friends who live in New York. If you have a significant other listed, they will be upset that you ditched them (otherwise it will be a random friend). Mutual friends of yours will also talk about each other. ? Workplace: There&#39;s an ongoing conversation between you and your boss. The video pulls your Employer&#39;s name and inserts it into texts and emails. ? Google Maps: The user travels to NYC from their current location as listed on fb. ? Facebook Newsfeed: At one point, you browse your facebook news feed. ? Shocking Photos: The user sees an online gossip blog splash a recent Facebook photo they were tagged in under the headline &quot;Shocking Photos from DJ _____&#39;s Past!&quot; ? World Tour: Per the user&#39;s request, their hometown is the second stop on the MNDR World Tour. ? New York Mode: In the video, the user travels to NY by plane. But what if the user is currently living in New York To solve this, we created a New York Mode which replaces the airport scenes with a separate video of the user traveling around the city. Users who list their current location as New York will see this version. ? The video is always different each time you re-watch it. We don&#39;t store the information that is pulled from Facebook.&nbsp;&quot;The web is now the primary consumption vehicle for videos, so why should we have to work within the constraints of old media You will see more HTML5, more personalization through social networks, more interactivity and participation between viewers, perhaps even in real time. Facebook collects all of our data to target advertisements, but we don&#39;t need to let this wealth of new technology oppress us. Let&#39;s use it to make art.&quot;

Ian Perlman's video for the band Body Language's You Can comes with an intriguing backstory of an extremely wealthy family called the Flynns. But its far from a straight narrative, rather an enjoyably impressionistic psychodrama. 
"The original core of the video was about this extremely wealthy family, The Flynns," Ian explains about the video, that was shot at the very grand Sands Point Preserve in Port Washington, NY (Long Island) over the course of three days. "With their eldest son, Leo (Robert Mann) newly married, the family purchases the castle for him and his younger brother Garrett (Nick Uhas). 
"Garrett represents Leo's reckless Casanova past, which his wife Melanie (Trice Christiansen) hopes he has finally grew out of. BUt she leaves Leo once she learns that he is still the child that he once was, and sends him into a helpless frenzy. This is the one time his wealth cannot save him or fix the situation..."
