Heralding the release of his acclaimed new album, Jason Spaceman co-directs the live video for a new Spiritualized epic&nbsp;with Juliette Larthe.This is an intimate performance of the ten minute track I'm Coming Home Again, given a vintage feel and visceral edge by the expert use of just two camera set-ups, fused together in a complementary black and white grade.[imgtoken data:1]The use of a gritty&nbsp;film in capturing Spaceman's backing band give the impression of footage that may have sat around for a while - even years. But when the main&nbsp;man appears in the cleaner format, the trick is revealed and the 'liveness' of the occasion becomes unmistakeable.So sit back and enjoy your own personal Spiritualized show, courtesy of Jason and Juliette.

Douglas Hart and Steve Mackey - the former Pulp bassist-turned director -&nbsp;direct a grungy promo for Hot Chip's return with Down.&nbsp;The video is a lo-fi&nbsp;affair, blending gritty textures, abstract imagery and distorted layers of oversaturated footage.&nbsp;Paying homage to early music video experimentation, the compelling performances are contrasted against unusual, seemingly unrelated vignettes, which seem more inspired by the industrial beat than any lyrical content. It's all brought together in a terrific, kinetically-driven edit by Thomas Goldser.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

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]

Director duo&nbsp;KENTEN direct a gripping performance promo for Tove Lo.&nbsp;The video for How Long presents the artist in two forms - a poised, rigid character who is almost mannequin-like&nbsp;, and a scorned character who has discovered the truth and feels more explosive and confrontational.&nbsp;These character traits are represented through slick&nbsp;styling and bold lighting choices - but mainly through Tove Lo's characteristically uncompromising performance. The added flourish of movement and camera effects elevates the minimalist concept.&nbsp;It's a rare feat to get an artist in a blank space and create something so engaging, but KENTEN have pulled it off magically.&nbsp;

Spiritualized's J Spaceman (aka Jason Pierce) directs the video for the second release from the forthcoming album Everything Was Beautiful, creative directed by Juliette Larthe.Spiritualized’s gentle balladic track is heightened with the soothing country vocals of Nikki Lane, and bought to life with Spaceman’s music video, a collage of images featuring couples from different eras, different cultures and different genders.The imagery is overlaid with artwork from the familiar and iconic pharmaceutical packaging motif of Spiritualized’s album design, which dates back to Mark Farrow’s artwork for the 1997 classic album Ladies and Gentlemen we are Floating in Space, and was also a visual theme overlaying the video for the track Always Together with You, released late last year, which was also creative directed by Larthe.Everything Was Beautiful&nbsp;is out on February 25 (via Fat Possum) and follows 2018’s And Nothing Hurt. Together, the titles form a quote from Kurt Vonnegut’s classic novel Slaughterhouse Five: “Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.”

A group of schoolchildren create their own ABBA homage in Sophie Muller's touching seasonal promo for Little Things.&nbsp;The track&nbsp;is a gentle reflection on the joy of Christmas morning and family time around this special time of year, and the proceeds from CD sales are going&nbsp;to Unicef&nbsp;to help&nbsp;support the&nbsp;Global Child Protection Fund.&nbsp;In the video, we see a dedicated and ambitious group of school-age children, many of whom in real life are close to (or even related to!) the creative team behind the groundbreaking Voyage concerts.[imgtoken data:1]This next generation of geniuses are inspired to create an ABBA Voyage ‘Christmas Special’, and embark with irrepressible enthusiasm on the enterprise of motion capture, choreography, costume design, stage lighting and band rehearsals, culminating with the arrival of parents and family members, to watch a convincing performance by the re-imagined ‘ABBA’, as the track draws to a close.&nbsp;Evoking a sense of traditional Christmas wonder, it's a charming concept and a perfect accompaniment to the group's iconic comeback.&nbsp;

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;

Sparks fly and chaos reigns when Kylie comes to Jessie Ware's restaurant, in Sophie Muller's brilliant Telenovella-style video for Kiss Of Life.&nbsp;Kylie plays a mysterious dinner guest, secretly a critic out to deliver the verdict on the place&nbsp;run by the indominable Jessie, among an outrageously larger-than-life bunch of&nbsp;fellow diners. The mini-dramas of the women's rivalry plays out like an '80s Latin soap opera, with further nods to early Almodovar, and a bit of silent comedy for good measure - plus a cast from a Fellini movie&nbsp;-&nbsp;shot on authentic video camera equipment from the period, for that genuine oversaturated look. Phew.[imgtoken data:1]Muller's latest video for&nbsp;Kylie is also her second collaboration with creative director and performance director&nbsp;Theo Adams, after the Kylie and Years &amp; Years video for A Second To Midnight, and together they have a devised this delicious scenario in which both Kylie and Jessie play their parts - and perform the song - with suitable relish. In fact, could this&nbsp;be Kylie's first role in a soap since leaving Neighbours...?Adams says of collaborating on the music video with Muller: “It all happened quite organically between us both sitting at her kitchen table cackling away coming up with this fever dream of chaos!"Adams was responsible for recruiting the&nbsp;amazing cast of performers in the video, including&nbsp;nightlife royalty Princess Julia, among others. They are&nbsp;indeed the&nbsp;Theo Adams Company, and they play such a crucial role in bringing effervescent chaos to proceedings -&nbsp;shot in a real&nbsp;Italian restaurant in London's Covent Garden,&nbsp;the garishly maximalist Ave Mario's.[imgtoken data:2]As a result of the location choice, the whole video was shot overnight, when the restaurant was closed. And the&nbsp;shoot itself was undertaken rather like an episode of an 80s Telenovella, as Sophie Muller explains.&nbsp;“The video was all shot on an 80’s news camera - the ikegami 79D three-tube 1980’s colour portable - at a hair raising speed," she says. "And considering the hellishly late night/early morning hours of the shoot, everyone contributed their finest performances.”Apart from the necessary element of chaos - which was possibly quite easy to achieve - the whole&nbsp;kaboodle plays to the artists' strengths. The food connection works for Jessie Ware (cookery writer and podcaster as well as consummate soul singer) and the outrageously camp scenario obviously fits the&nbsp;Kylie iconography&nbsp;like a glove.&nbsp;But not only is this arguably the campiest video she's ever done, she looks utterly iconic in this. And she is funny.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:3]As has been <a href="https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/kylie-minogue-jessie-ware-kiss-of-life-fashion" target="_blank">pointed out elsewhere</a>, the video is also a haute couture spectacle - with the leading ladies decked out in Saint Laurent and Valentino&nbsp;- and this certainly involved a larger than normal&nbsp;glam squad. And it culminates with a rare music video monologue from Kylie, who reads out her five-star review of the restaurant as she types it up on an old typewriter. Well, she's tapping the keys anyway...It's so good. And after this, apparently there's a Kylie collab with disco queen Gloria Gaynor to look forward to...

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;

Spiritualized's Jason Spaceman directs a poignant music video for his new release Always Together With You, with creative direction from the Outstanding Achievement Award winner at this year's UKMVAs,&nbsp;Juliette Larthe.&nbsp;The video centres on the reuse and recycling of images from life, forgoing a traditional narrative and instead presenting a series of broken fragments.&nbsp;The film starts with hyperbolic landscapes and ends with symbolic repetition of the horrors of climate change to the sounds of the euphoric track, and serves to illustrate our human consideration of planet earth.“The song is like an antidepressant and the visuals illustrate the dichotomy of our antidotes to suffering," says Larthe.&nbsp;"There are multiple layers to unpack regarding the connotations of medicine/ medical wellness, and the medical packet in the centre of the screen&nbsp;can illustrate this succinctly. Therefore the imagery can be at odds with this, and an illustration of where we can go wrong." &nbsp;
