Ben Strebel makes a stunning return to music videos with his wonderful&nbsp;video for Skrillex, Starrah and Four Tet’s new track Butterflies - an impressionistic portrait on the impact of a year of Covid crisis upon a generation, which builds to a simply transcendent&nbsp;climax.With some hugely talented&nbsp;collaborators, including choreographer Holly Blakey, DoP Ben Todd, and the&nbsp;VFX team at Electric Theatre Collective, Strebel channels the frustrations of a generation of youth, whose relationships and&nbsp;opportunies have all been curtailed by the successive lockdowns, into a very contemporary work of visual art.On a London estate, an edgy teenager is a ball of energy as they sit in their room, and when a group of youths gather, the group immediately combine to&nbsp;performing Blakey's intricate, physically demanding choreography. Sheets float in the air, at the Chinese takeaway&nbsp;the youths&nbsp;also play ghosts, covered in sheets - and then the path from gritty reality to heightened sensibility spins into outright&nbsp;fantasy, all within the same concrete world.[imgtoken data:1]The climax of the video is wonderful - and that is partly because you do not see it coming. The kids have now become real ghosts, soaring into the air above the concrete,&nbsp;freed&nbsp;to cavort to the strains of this epic electronic collaboration between Sonny John Moore (aka Skrillex), Keiran Hebden (Four Tet), and Brittany Talia Hazzard (Starrah). This is a brilliantly conceived ballet - created with an ingenious execution of VFX work and camera movement.&nbsp;&nbsp;Strebel has created a wonderful visual for Butterflies, the result of not only his own skill and vision, but the ambition and support of Skrillex. The artist and director&nbsp;had been talking for a long time about working together, and Skrillex took&nbsp;a hands-on approach throughout the process, sanctioning the lengthy&nbsp;period in post production required to make it happen.It was well worth the wait.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Ali Kurr visualises a sexy Nineties fever dream in her video for Bree Runway's Little Nokia.&nbsp;With the song name-checking&nbsp;one of the most iconic - and indestructable - phones ever on the market, the promo sees Runway being interrupted by a&nbsp;Nokia 3310 every time she tries to get intimate with her man.&nbsp;Cutting to a grungy garage, a spiked mohican-sporting Bree hangs from the roof, before mounting a mechanical bull, artfully refashioned to&nbsp;resemble a giant Nokia. It's a feast of nostalgia with an edgy and dark undertone, and the reference to 1983 body horror Videodrome in the final scene is a perfect way to polish off the concept.&nbsp;Strikingly shot by DoP&nbsp;Amelia Hazlerigg, the aesthetic is perfectly balanced between commercial and quirky, with just a touch of creepy to keep viewers on their toes.&nbsp;“For this video I wanted to pay homage to the MTV greats," says Kurr, "But blend and package them together so it feels totally fresh and unique.” Job done.

Bree Runway 'Little Nokia' by Ali Kurr

Bree-Runway-'Little-Nokia'-by-Ali-Kurr

Rina Sawayama and Ali Kurr's previous videos, for STFU!&nbsp;and <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/04/30/rina-sawayama-xs-ali-kurr/64485" target="_blank">XS</a>&nbsp;have shown an artist capable of taking on vibrant, madcap personas. The video for Bad Friend is another case entirely, and just as intriguing: Rina becomes a character in an old Japanese movie - a young male salaryman, who's heart has just been broken.Taking their seat in a dive bar,&nbsp;Sawayama's character stares at a wedding ring in a mist of cigarette smoke. It's been a bad day, and it's time to drink away all the emotions.&nbsp;Then they are suddenly interrupted by another older customer, who insists the sad salaryman accept his offer to drink whisky with him.Then things take their course, as they do in bars. Misery turns to drunken jollity - but then things turn surprisingly nasty. Things degenerate into a believably messy bar brawl, to the horror of the&nbsp;few other inhabitants of the bar. But that's not quite the end of the story...From the intriguing setting - and&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Amelia Hazlerigg gives this a real film noir flair that elevates the dramatic mood from the start - it is a wonderfully well-constructed and performed narrative that makes this arguably Sawayama and Kurr's&nbsp;most satisfying collaboration yet.

Rina-Sawayama-'Bad-Friend-'-by-Ali-Kurr

Rina&nbsp;Sawayama laments materialism in the time of global warming, in Ali Kurr's tongue-in-cheek video for XS.&nbsp;Described&nbsp;by Sawayama as a "kind of a mockery of everyone, including myself", the visual portrays&nbsp;her as a bubbly&nbsp;QVC-like salesperson, hawking a shimmering beverage that’s 99% 24k gold and 1%… plasma?&nbsp;As the clip plays out, it’s revealed that the shopping channel host isn’t what she appears, and the source of the drink’s “new improved recipe” is a macabre Soylent Green nightmare.Part-Stepford Wives, part-Alien vs Predator, and all-round brilliant, the video is as&nbsp;exciting and unabashed as the track, which repeatedly circles from Pop to R&amp;B and thrash metal&nbsp;in its four-minute runtime.Liz El Kadhi's art direction is a real highlight, utilising vibrant colours and props to offset the spooky undercurrent, paired with&nbsp;Celia Arias' slick styling, in Ali Kurr's second collaboration with Sawayama, following the equally vibrant video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2019/11/26/rina-sawayama-stfu-ali-kurr-now-signed-darkroom/62096" target="_blank">STFU!</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;

Photographer and filmmaker&nbsp;Tom Andrew takes found moments of dance from archive video footage of clubs, including the video for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2018/05/21/daniel-avery-glass-tom-andrew-sam-davis/53164" target="_blank">Avery&rsquo;s Glass</a>, co-directed by Andrew and Sam Davis, and explores them in a motion capture studio, with live interactive projections.A progression of three characters, together with three styles of choreographed movement, represents a state of mind progression, from these archived moments.The result skirts the boundaries between pop promo and experimental art film, further evidence of Tom Andrew&#39;s inventiveness and potential as an up-and-coming director.

P!nk and hubby Channing Tatum are the perfect &#39;50s married couple in Beautiful Trauma, directed and choreographed by Nick Florez and RJ Durell. And if they want to cross-dress, and even bring another pussycat into their night games, whose going to argue?It&#39;s like the directors have distilled the best bits of a couple of Todd Haynes movies, added Betty Page, and turned them into a Hollywood musical. A very pink one.Shot by Par Ekberg and art directed by JC Molina - regular Jonas Akerlund collaborators &ndash; this busts out all over in a very entertaining fashion. After her smash with the Georgia Hudson-directed What About Us, P!nk is on a roll.

Anton Tammi astounds with this incredible, trippy journey through a side of New York rarely seen for JIL.Part neon-noir, part analogue-psychedelic-erotic trip. The clip tears through New York and melts into the subconscious with a dreamlike ooze. A chance meeting on a subway starts it off, while an infrared walk through a graveyard, and a midnight motorbike ride are a couple of the vignettes here that don&#39;t explicitly string together a narrative so much as evoke a feeling of a narrative eluding us. A confidently stylised and completely engrossing work, over the course of&nbsp;seven stirring minutes.

Lady Gaga is back in&nbsp;true bombastic, daredevilish form for her new video&nbsp;John Wayne, directed&nbsp;by Jonas Akerlund.The frenzied&nbsp;Tarantino-flavoured clip sees the songstress with an incurable need for speed, gathering&nbsp;more and more momentum as she trades in racehorse&nbsp;for&nbsp;motorcycle for a car lurching forward towards complete oblivion - all told&nbsp;in&nbsp;zany, neon drenched, and&nbsp;entirely over-the-top&nbsp;fashion.Its a telltale story of a&nbsp;self-destructive romance where star-crossed lovers cavort, drink&nbsp;and bring out each others&#39; thrill-seeking&nbsp;side as&nbsp;libidinous fuel&nbsp;for an&nbsp;exhilarating and short-lived&nbsp;passion.&bull; Lady Gaga Joanne World Tour tour dates <a href="https://maineventspecials.com/lady-gaga-tour-dates/" target="_blank">here</a>

BANKS 'Brain' by Barnaby Roper

Following the release of Bowie&#39;s self-directed promo for <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOy7vPwEtCw" target="_blank">Love Is Lost</a>&nbsp;at Halloween, Barnaby Roper directs the official video for the ten-minute &#39;Hello Steve Reich&#39;&nbsp;remix by LCD Soundsystem maestro&nbsp;James Murphy &ndash; featured on the new expanded version of The Next Day. And its a abstract VFX epic that offers yet another visual dimension to Bowie&#39;s triumphant comeback.&nbsp;Opening with disembodied clapping hands, it becomes a mesmerizing investigation of computer animation wireframe systems, which coallesce into something recognisable - two intertwined bodies. The couple become increasingly realistic - in fact,&nbsp;palpably real.And a very attractive couple they are too...

Elisha Smith Leverock steps up to the plate to work with 2 Chainz, one of the biggest names in US hip-hop right now, and makes a very different hip-hop video for I&rsquo;m Different.Shot in Miami, barely a hip-hop video convention is left unscathed &ndash; particularly in this directors cut of the video that&rsquo;s pulled in 6.5 million YouTube plays in the past two weeks. 2 Chainz&rsquo;s luxury boat never leaves the road, the gangsters bust the cop &ndash; and that car wash service is definitely different&hellip;
