Mura Masa teams up with The Reid Brothers&nbsp;for this wonderful docu-style promo for&nbsp;new track Whenever I Want.&nbsp;A nod to the documentary sensibilities of the directors, the video feels like part promo and part photographic exploration of the euphoria of the dance floor, with cues taken from the world of Northern Soul&nbsp;and post-COVID dance freedoms.Featuring a coruscating loop of different characters, all enamored by the dancefloor experience, the video pulsates to&nbsp;a hypnotic rhythm which builds to a kaleidoscopic climax - beautifully photographed by sibling directors Will and Ed Reid.&nbsp;It's a simple and understated video which delivers its message clearly and with an abundance of character&nbsp;- simplicity is key.&nbsp;And if full-length videos are now regarded as 'longform' then this video fully embraces that idea. Bloody marvellous.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2][imgtoken data:3]

Hold on to your horses as two disco divas unite on the dancefloor - via&nbsp;the magic of music video - as Kylie gets together with none other than Gloria Gaynor, of I Will Survive fame, in Sophie Muller's dazzling video for Can't Stop Writing Songs About You.&nbsp;On a glittering runway, it's vintage disco vibes as we see Kylie and her crew strut their stuff under scintillating lights, with a lo-fi aesthetic that looks ripped straight from the clubkid era.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Gaynor appears in a separate performance vignette, backdropped by the night sky and overlaid with hypnotising effects and soft pastel silhouettes - which feels reminiscent of another iconic Muller video, for <a href="https://youtu.be/kRpZJ9EgJho?t=120">No Doubt's Simple Kind Of Life.&nbsp;</a>And&nbsp;its&nbsp;art directed by her longtime collaborator, production designer Alison Dominitz.&nbsp;&nbsp;Once again Sophie has also teamed&nbsp;with Theo Adams, whose company of performers provides&nbsp;Kylie's world with that extra pinch of pizzazz, and the result is&nbsp;a powerhouse visual for an irresistable track, pairing&nbsp;very nicely with previous Muller-Minogue videos for her other collabs on the new version of her&nbsp;Disco album - with Olly of Years &amp; Years on <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/10/12/kylie-and-years-years-second-midnight%E2%80%99-sophie-muller/73271" target="_blank">A Second To Midnight</a>, and with Jessie Ware on <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/11/18/kylie-minogue-jessie-ware-kiss-life-sophie-muller/73851">the telenovela-style Kiss Of Life.</a>&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]

Tom Beard directs a darkly poetic promo for Baxter Dury, playing the sole audience member to a unique pole&nbsp;dance performance.&nbsp;In Beard's video for&nbsp;D.O.A., Dury is the denizen of a pole dancing club, where the dancer is not only male, he bears more than a passing resemblance to the Grim Reaper.[imgtoken data:1]The video is an exploration of the developing relationship between the two characters, during the Reaper's parodic pole dancing performance, in cloak and leather headdress, with the initial humour of the scenario becoming something more poignant.&nbsp;Sinister and sensual in equal measure - with Baxter Dury offering a characteristically stylish yet doleful presence -&nbsp; the video is elevated by colourful lighting and measured camera movement, which allows the narrative to unfold at its own pace.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Iconic pop video director Diane Martel joins forces with Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos&nbsp;and Ben Cole to create the video for Billy Goodbye - taken from the Scottish rock band's forthcoming Greatest Hits album.&nbsp;The black and white concept feels&nbsp;experimental and evocative of early music videos, focusing on a group of characters who descend into a riotous party, full of bottle smashing, karaoke singalongs and melodramatic facial expressions.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Glitchy performance setups, mixed formats&nbsp;and spliced cutaways add a textural element to the concept, aesthetically feeling very much like&nbsp;home-movie segments.The randomness of the content and iconography in several of these scenes also elevates the absurdist nature of the piece.&nbsp;

Sophie Muller directs the glistening&nbsp;performance video for Kylie’s A Second to Midnight,&nbsp;featuring Years &amp; Years - aka Olly Alexander - and some 'wait, what...?' moments of role-reversal between the two performers.Shot in London's historic Collins' Music Hall, the concept sees the leopard print-clad duo dance around under a spotlight, briefly switching roles - with the clever application of 'hair swap'&nbsp;technology&nbsp;- while the accompanying dancers also 'become' Kylie and Ollie with their use of face masks.&nbsp;&nbsp;Muller collaborated with Theo Adams, in the role of&nbsp;performance director&nbsp;on the song-and-dance routine executed by the pop stars. The results&nbsp;exudes that sense of pure joy that is the hallmark of any great Kylie video, and a complete&nbsp;delight to watch.PRETTYBIRD UK co-founder Juliette Larthe says:&nbsp;"The insanely wonderful pairing of the maverick alchemists of vision and movement, the geniuses&nbsp;of vespertine delights - Sophie Muller and Theo Adams - repeatedly inculcate the aureate of their crafts individually, and now together for the first time with Kylie and Olly. The result is epic-ness of the most MAJORNESS and we utterly love it."

Alewya leads a pulsating underground rave in Simon Lane's atmospheric performance vid for the singer-songwriter's Spirit_X.With Alewya tapping into the spiritual aspect of dance music, Lane creates an exciting spectacle from the judicious use of lighting, art direction, supporting cast and editing, in the rarely explored tunnels under London. Most importantly, the focus is on the stunning presence&nbsp;of Alewya herself.“This song was written from a presence and understanding of my flow state and how many things can come to me when I’m dancing this dance as crazy as it might be," states Alewya. "This is my absolute power and one to be reckoned with. It’s human, ancestral and it’s very wild.”

Mac Wetha enjoys a long summer day with his mates, in The Reids' video for Wayside.When he's not goofing around on the green with the lads, he's having a bike ride, or driving around the 'burbs in his mate's car with the top down. And he's also back home, listening and performing&nbsp;music.It's the sibling-director team's&nbsp;second video for a song taken from Mac Wetha's debut EP&nbsp;Make It Thru, following the&nbsp;entertainingly frenetic&nbsp;first video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/05/19/mac-wetha-rem-reids/70976" target="_blank">REM</a>. Wayside is way more laid back, but again shows the&nbsp;young writer/producer/DJ - known for his&nbsp;production work with the NiNE8 collective - has an&nbsp;engaging personality&nbsp;as performer and entertainer.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Mac Wetha gets dragged through the streets of suburbia, in this rehearsal calamity from The Reids.Playing out as a surreal daydream, the concept sees&nbsp;the artist pitted against odd forces, in a video that starts as an homage to MTV&nbsp;and ends as a psychological thriller.&nbsp;Attempting to perform with his band, Wetha just can't catch a break, as he is quite literally pulled by his mic across a sleepy London, populated only by his laidback - and very much confused - band partners, and a mysterious someone whose intentions are unknown.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

SOB&nbsp;charts a tale of love and loss with Griff as our engaging guide, in their promo for Black Hole.&nbsp;Opening in a fashion design workroom, Griff is shown creating a garment when she slips up with the sewing machine - and opens up a rabbit hole connecting&nbsp;a maze of dreamlike vignettes.&nbsp;Boasting their impeccable eye for art direction and composition - first evident in their collection of videos for Collard - the director duo make their mark with this haunting&nbsp;yet endlessly engaging promo."The song speaks about the feeling that a part of you is missing, and we wanted to create a video using different media to push this idea," explain SOB."We used a scanner to show a fragmented divide between reality and inner self and contrasted the indoors with a vast nightscape to emphasise loneliness."&nbsp;

Anna Fearon captures Hope Tala and friends in scenes inspired by Renaissance&nbsp;art in the video for Cherries.Fearon brings a new perspective, and a modern twist, to this take on classical portraiture. Modern props appear - and featured artist&nbsp;Aminé&nbsp;shows up on a phone that Hope Tala drops into a fish tank."[Anna] had this idea of having a Renaissance theme but flipping the gender and typical race of the people in the video," Tala told <a href="https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2020/11/10160745/hope-tala-cherries-amine-music-video-premiere" target="_blank">Refinery29</a>. "I just love all things Renaissance and using historical, nostalgic imagery. I'm really into the 90s, but I'm also really obsessed with Shakespeare, so going back to that time period for the theme was really cool. And flipping the script to play with the idea of who the muse and who the artist is was so interesting."Anna Fearon also used an all-female shooting crew to realise her vision. An exuberant colour palette and picture-perfect art direction by Phoebe Anne Harris provide&nbsp;the perfect environment for the concept, framing an understated yet engaging performance from Tala.

The darker side of human nature get&nbsp;an uplifting digital makeover, in The Trash Factory's bonkers video for Punctual.&nbsp;A modern love story for these weird and wonderful times, we follow a trio of different relationships&nbsp;that are all riddled with infidelity. Instead of blowing up in the traditional fashion, the revenge takes a Tik-Tok style twist, causing the scorned to launch into a series of dance moves - eerily similar to the lockdown dance video craze, which is now bleeding into official videos too.&nbsp;Mischievous and tongue-in-cheek, this is a standout first pop video from&nbsp;the director, who has transformed his gritty, edgy&nbsp;style into something brilliantly unique and addictive.&nbsp;

Millicent Hailes injects a dash of&nbsp;Spain into middle England in her video for new artist Hope Tala.The setting could not be more suburban, but Hope's song All My Girls Like To Fight is all about feisty females, so her performance is accompanied by dancers who bring the passion of flamenco and bullfighting to proceedings. Without the bulls, thankfully.Shot in suburban London, Hailes directed this remotely from Los Angeles - and DoP Beatriz Sastre makes it look as bright and colourful as Barcelona.
