Miley Cyrus takes a &#39;wild ride&#39;, with the police in OJ-style pursuit, in the Easter egg-laden vid for Mark Ronson&#39;s s Nothing Like Breaks Like A Heart, directed by French directors We Are From LA.With Miley&#39;s superfans lining the road, there are numerous references to her past career. And then she visits the dark heart of America, in her unscheduled pitstops to a lapdance attended by gawping priests, and kids getting their shooting training in early at the firing range.And then Miley shows us her bum - <a href="https://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/easter-eggs-video-mark-ronson-miley-cyrus-nothing-breaks-like-heart-2416127" target="_blank">a &#39;Britney Spears reference&#39; apparently</a>.It&#39;s a wild ride alright - including a spectacular entrance by Ronson himself, possibly channeling Tom Cruise in any Mission Impossible movie.&nbsp;Consequently the video is a superbly dense and impressively satirical exercise by We Are From LA&nbsp;- and executive produced by Romain Gavras -&nbsp;for a sure-to-be-huge sad-country-disco banger...

Mark Ronson ft. Miley Cyrus 'Nothing Breaks Like A Heart' by We Are From LA

Mark Ronson - Nothing Breaks Like a Heart (Official Video) ft. Miley Cyrus

Romain Gavras makes a mindblowing return to music videos for&nbsp;Jamie xx, in what appears to be a dystopian, ruined version of Paris, with the climax occurring under the rusting hulk of the Eiffel Tower.&nbsp;In fact it was shot in a <a href="http://qz.com/111262/welcome-to-chinas-beautiful-but-empty-little-paris/" target="_blank">replica Paris</a>&nbsp;in the Chinese province of Jiangsu - built as a tourist attraction but mostly deserted and quickly rotting away. Into this scenario, Gavras brings an opaque story of power and submission, on an epic scale, involving hundreds of identically dressed (and coiffured) extras, a striking central character, and a blue Suburu.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The video also bears some resemblance to the&nbsp;video for&nbsp;<a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/10/16/de-staat-witch-doctor-studio-smack-torre-florim-floris-kaayk" target="_blank">De Staat&#39;s Witch Doctor</a>, in creating of a human vortex around a central figure. But Gavras just takes things further. And even the thing you think can&#39;t be real.... well, they probably are.&nbsp;No CGI at all, apparently.

Believe it or not, this wasn&#39;t&nbsp;done in post! This monumental&nbsp;video helmed by director&nbsp;Inigo Westmeier&nbsp;for M.I.A&#39;s new collab with French producer&nbsp;Gener8ion coined&nbsp;The New International Sound Pt. II,&nbsp;features&nbsp;the 36,000 students of Shaolin Tagou, the biggest fighting school for kids in China.It&#39;s a breathtaking&nbsp;sight to behold, incorporating stunning wide angle shots of the fighters&nbsp;in action.&nbsp;From rigorous&nbsp;training to performing a final, powerful synchronised&nbsp;routine, the spectacle&nbsp;demonstrates that there is&nbsp;power in numbers, indeed.But that&#39;s not all. The video also focusses on one particularly brilliant, multi-talented female student. And she&#39;d give Bruce Lee himself a run for his money.&nbsp;

Gener8ion + M.I.A. 'The New International Sound Pt. II' by Inigo Westmeier

GENER8ION + M.I.A. - The New International Sound Pt. II (Official music video)

M.I.A. takes the reins to direct her own video for Double Bubble Trouble, and makes something totally distinctive - and very M.I.A. &nbsp;This is M.I.A.&#39;s version of a dystopian near-future in which youth control their technology, and run the world - wielding guns made on 3D-printers, and peace drones floating on their housing estates.&nbsp;Shot on multiple formats&nbsp;ranging from 4K to 16mm to iPhone, reflecting the multiple platforms of communication in the tech age,&nbsp;it&#39;s a&nbsp;riot of imagery, ideas, visual wit, with a&nbsp;trademark whiff of danger.With guest appearances from her track collaborators The Party Squad - together with squadrons of London kids - its an extravaganza of style and tech - and London attitude &ndash;&nbsp;supervised by producers Juliette Larthe and Margo Mars at Prettybird. But&nbsp;it&#39;s that overpowering&nbsp;bombardment of imagery which makes this so cool, and so characteristic of the artist. M.I.A. has knocked it out of the park.

M.I.A. 'Double Bubble Trouble' by M.I.A.

M.I.A. & The Partysquad - Double Bubble Trouble official music video Uncensored

Shot in Prague and featured in their recent UK show, Jay-Z and Kanye West team-up with Romain Gavras for this explosive and emotional promo for their No Church In The Wild collaboration. 
Its a full-scale riot, pure and simple, brilliantly orchestrated and shot, as viscerally violent as you'd expect from a Romain Gavras video - with angry youths against the police with horses, batons, riot shields and a cast of hundreds all beautifully captured by DP Mattias Montero. But its also very cinematic and increasingly abstract. And arguably the most spectacular shot of all comes right at the end...

Bad girl M.I.A. is back with bad boy Romain Gavras for Bad Girls, and it's an awesome, beautiful, horizon-widening, spectacle. Beamers driving on end, boy racers in keffiyahs, mind-boggling stunts, skidding blow-outs, silky dancers with AK-47s - and Arab stallions in full gallop....Shot in Morocco, it's arguably Romain's first proper pop video - which also smashes a stereotypical Western view of the 'Middle East'. And it puts M.I.A's middle finger to the all-American Superbowl-watching viewers into some kind of perspective. What else could she possibly do
