Ferina directs a star-studded visual for HAIM, featuring British actors Will Poulter, Archie Madekwe and&nbsp;Nabhaan Rizwan.Pulled together with only three days prep, the video for All Over Me takes place in a threadbare apartment, where the band interact with each of the guest stars. In fact, following the sentiments of the song, things get passionate.&nbsp;Boasting a gently colourful and naturalistic aesthetic - with cinematography by Rina Yang - the video explores connection and the rollercoaster of relationships, told through lingering gazes, body language and playful movement.&nbsp;

Andrew Thomas Huang directs a striking promo for Brooklyn-based singer and DJ Yaeji, in collaboration with Microsoft.&nbsp;Filmed in Korea, the promo for Pondeggi&nbsp;is inspired by traditional hand games and beondegi, the Korean street food made from silkworm pupae. The video follows Yaeji as she transforms into a silkworm, engaging in a dreamlike journey to preserve the cycle of metamorphosis, while facing off against a 'techno-witch' played by the legendary Uhm Jung-hwa.Huang makes distinctive use of AI to realise a vision which in some respects shares the sense of the incredible that was a characteristic of his use of VFX when he first broke through as a visual artist. And this was created&nbsp;in partnership with Yaeji and Microsoft as part of the Artifacts: New Experiments in Art &amp; AI initiative - one of three commissioned projects.&nbsp;This groundbreaking project explores cultural memory and transformation through AI-driven innovation, showcasing how AI can expand creative possibilities while preserving human artistry.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Huang and Yaeji integrated AI tools—including Microsoft Copilot and open-source AI technologies—to enhance the storytelling, introducing unexpected and surreal visual elements.&nbsp;“The benefits I found from the technology were all in the form of happy accidents—results that were dreamlike that I didn't even know were possible,” says Yaeji.Andrew Thomas Huang adds: “Microsoft’s tools were great conduits for preserving the integrity of the original performance while translating it into this fantasy world, taking inspiration from nature and silkworms.”The result is a&nbsp;hallucinatory visual making great use of the technology and resources at the creative team's disposal.&nbsp;Huang and Yaeji discuss their collaborative process <a href="http://unlocked.microsoft.com/artifacts" target="_blank">here</a>.

Aidan Zamiri reunites with Yung Lean to take a ritualistic journey through the streets of Budapest, with Lean riding a truck carrying a coffin of himself, and very large speakers.&nbsp;Like Zamiri's previous <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/04/12/yung-lean-ft-fka-twigs-bliss-aidan-zamiri/75876" target="_blank">Yung Lean video for Bliss</a>, featuring FKA Twigs, the video for Forever Yung is all about an eventful journey, unhinged from straight reality, bordering on the chaotic. With less of&nbsp;the&nbsp;slick pop style of his celebrated videos for&nbsp;Charli xcx&nbsp;and Billie Eilish last year, it is still the distinctive work of the director while connecting Yung Lean with 'real people'.&nbsp;There's plenty to read in here, that may or may not be relevant - its shot in Hungary, cradle of European Trumpism. Yung at some point sports an Uncle Sam outfit. His truck passes crowds with messages on their T shirts, like I Hate Women.As with the Brat phenomenon last year, Zamiri is riding the zeitgeist again, this time with darker, 2025 stuff.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;&nbsp;

Haya Waseem directs an affecting black and white promo for superstar Sam Smith.&nbsp;With the singer returning to their ballad roots with the delightful Love Is A Stillness, the video captures its gentle mood, while featuring aspects of life in their adopted home of New York City. It&nbsp;features very little of the artist, instead exploring a number of everyday relationships in an intimate way.&nbsp;Gentle gestures and lingering looks communicate an array of emotions - love, regret, concern - which are part of our universal experience, and instantly relatable.&nbsp;Though we know very little about the characers on screen, we are confronting the rollercoaster of life along with them, projecting our own life experiences onto the images.&nbsp;A lovely video for an impactful comeback.&nbsp;

Jordan Hemingway continues the campaign for FKA twigs' new album Eusexua&nbsp;with a sleek parade of breathtaking vignettes for Perfect Stranger.&nbsp;The video features a variety of shifting scenarios, as Twigs embodies an amalgam of distinctive characters, that collectively embody the concept at sexual fluidity and exploration at the heart of the record.&nbsp;From futuristic performance situations to abstract displays of family life, each setup is conceptual art brought to life, a moving portrait of emotion and connection - and flights of sexual fantasy realised with crystaline execution via Hemingway's eye and twigs' performance.&nbsp;Like a lovechild of Kylie's Confide In Me, Noughties print advertising&nbsp;and Hemingway's own photography work, the visual is a feat, and helps build the already palpable excitement for the&nbsp;new twigs album.&nbsp;

It's the video everyone's talking about - Aidan Zamiri's sensational promo for Charli XCX featuring Billie Eilish.&nbsp;Turned around in only five days, the release continues Charli's chokehold on summer pop, with a nostalgic, singular vision&nbsp;aesthetically similar to&nbsp;previous Zamiri collab <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2024/05/14/charli-xcx-360-aidan-zamiri/86431">360.&nbsp;</a>In a whirlwind of underwear, heavy machinery and passionate partying, it's safe to say the visual set the internet on fire, both for the collaboration and surprise drop. And it's another highlight of an iconic album rollout, which has created waves through socials and pop culture at large.&nbsp;A final note, which adds to the good vibes of the promo&nbsp;- all unworn undergarments will be donated to survivors of domestic violence through 'I SUPPORT THE GIRLS'.[imgtoken data:1]

Aidan Zamiri directs the star-studded and very meta clip for Charli XCX's 360.&nbsp;It's the video everyone's talking about, featuring a host of style icons and a selection of absurd yet editorial-ready vignettes. And it starts with Charli joining a bunch of her close girlfriends - including Julia Fox, Rachel Sennott, Hari Nef, Gabbriette, Alex Consani, and Emma Chamberlain - as they&nbsp;anoint the next 'hot internet girl', before the&nbsp;video properly gets under way and scoops up a Chloë Sevigny cameo.Blending luxury fashion with suburbia, the gang of celebrities can't help but wreak havoc wherever they go, and it makes for a delightfully eccentric and memorable visual.&nbsp;Elevated by Myles Bevan's contrasting grade, focusing on earthy tones and inky shadows, it's a bold and cinematic video with immediately standout imagery. It's very hot indeed.

The biggest artist on the planet is also no slouch when it comes to directing her own videos, as this very ambitious and stylish video proves - featuring Post Malone, and released within hours of the surprise release of Taylor Swift's new album Tortured Poets Department.&nbsp;The video pays homage to various&nbsp;film aesthetics going back a century, evoking early silent films and Tiim Burton's Gothic style - and it was shot by DoP Rodrigo Prieto,&nbsp;Oscar-nominated this year for his work on Killers Of The Flower Moon.&nbsp;It's all black and white (nearly) but it's also a Taylor Swift video through and through, complete with out of this world visuals and intimate, yet scene-stealing performances.&nbsp;Weaving a beautiful narrative between a woman locked in a surreal, asylum-like building, and the man of her dreams who fights to save her (Malone), with brief cameos from Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles (from Dead Poets Society), the video is a feat, spanning several set builds and a range of standout styling moments.&nbsp;The opening two&nbsp;scenes in particular&nbsp;are an absolute knockout.Taylor does it again...&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

The Smile give a private performance to the most challenging of audiences, in Paul Thomas Anderson's charming promo for Friend Of A Friend: a class of nursery school-aged children.&nbsp;It's a brave feat, giving a surprise performance to some of the most brutal critics on Earth, who have yet to develop the social skills to hide their true feelings. In this respect, Anderson's latest video for The Smile is a wonderful experiment.The band - Thom Yorke, Johnny Greenwood and Tom Skinnner -&nbsp;get on with the job of performing a song which may be the their finest achievement to date. They set up shop in the school hall whilst the kids file in to the benches and then spectate, giving unfiltered reactions that range from apathetic to awestruck (usually when the lightshow begins).&nbsp;It's a wonderful visual, meditating on the relationship between musicians and their audience, and builds to a poignant, engaged finale, which will warm up even the coldest of hearts. Make sure you stay to the very end...

A return to the music video medium by none other than&nbsp;Paul Thomas Anderson is always cause for excitement. And his latest team up with Thom Yorke, for the new release by The Smile, does not disappoint.We are in familiar territory as Anderson follows Yorke on a surreal journey through a black and white world. Actually, its&nbsp; clearly a recognisable version of&nbsp;London, one hauled from the past but still here, more than ever.Its cozy and bleak, with shafts of humour as Thom, our inimitable guide, seeks a bit of colour and finds - well, lots of versions of himself...[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]&nbsp;

Andrew Thomas Huang returns to music videos with a beautifully crafted promo and a thrilling shift in visual style for multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer and vocalist&nbsp;Alexandra Drewchin - aka Eartheater.&nbsp;Boasting a late 90's aesthetic, with the sensibility of cosmetics and fragrance&nbsp;commercials of the period, the&nbsp; visual for Crushing sees the artist explore a decadent mirrored room, interspersed with unique performance vignettes. Snapshots of a narrative - which involve the artist form glassware, drink from it and then shatter it with her voice - adds to the considerably alluring atmosphere.&nbsp;&nbsp;Huang captures&nbsp;the laidback, transcendent feel of the track, and with the camera constantly moving, never quite revealing a single portrait of Eartheater until late in the piece, the video maintains its sense of&nbsp;mystery and excitement throughout.&nbsp;Video screens of HD footage of Eartheater, video frames&nbsp;within frames, and terrific&nbsp;stylised cinematography by Laura Merians Goncalves eightens this feeling of&nbsp;otherworldliness.It's visually breathtaking, as one would expect from this masterful director, but also a real departure from his previous work. It's also&nbsp;confident enough to end the piece with a section of BTS video revealing a moment in its making. That simply adds to the magic.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Amber Grace Johnson reunites with Jorja Smith to direct a&nbsp;breathless, Paris-set&nbsp;promo for Go Go Go.&nbsp;Opening with a heartbreaking realisation that her boyfriend is being unfaithful, we follow Jorja out the door and into a taxi, shot in a series of ambitious, innovative FPV drone shots.&nbsp;The unusual perspective is exciting and cinematic, and this style continues throughout the video, as she heads to the club to drown her sorrows.&nbsp;It's colourful, eclectic and completely fresh - much like the direction of Jorja's new sound. A must-watch, packed full of captivating visuals and a confident performance.&nbsp;
