Herbert Grönemeyer 'Angstfrei' by Harun Güler

ANGSTFREI / Herbert Grönemeyer

Ned Botwood directs a big-hearted love letter to the West Country, by way of the American West for Metronomy frontman&nbsp;Joseph Mount's wonderful duet with Katy J Pearson for Love Factory.This song is an absolute peach, and the video highlights the special chemistry that is created by bringing fellow west country artist Pearson on board. Botwood channels the visuals from 1960s US TV variety shows, and the legendary&nbsp;performances by Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton and June Carter, blending&nbsp;British and American rural iconography, superimposing Katy and Joseph into sweeping Devon landscapes.Shot with a distinctly American flavour by DP Jamie Harding, the video trades prairie grass for wheat stubble and wide highways for narrow country lanes. The landscapes were captured over a sunset-chasing road trip through the South Hams in Jamie’s van.[imgtoken data:1]Ned, Jamie and editor Kevin Corry worked to recreate a variety of old-school televisual devices. Shooting country vistas to line up with studio performances, then using a combination of back projection, black negative space and lo-fi blending effects to merge them together.Eagle-eyed viewers will also spot a handful of homages to American cult classics, including Paris Texas, My Own Private Idaho and The Night of the Hunter. “What I love about this song is that it just sounds like it’s always been around, like an old standard on the radio," says Botwood.&nbsp;"It made me think of that golden age of country performances on TV in the late ’60s. Those variety hours like Kraft Music Hall and The Porter Wagoner Show.[imgtoken data:2]"Those shows really threw everything at the wall. All those charmingly janky sets and camera effects. Dolly Parton playing her Grammer guitar on a plastic porch, or Loretta Lynn superimposed onto rural Kentucky, or truly weird images like three disembodied Peggy Lee heads trading lyrics in different corners of the screen.“So much country music is about *home*. And if you absorb enough US culture, you can end up with this weird nostalgia for a rural heartland you’ve never actually been to. But it does make sense. When Dolly sings about her ‘Tennessee Mountain Home’, you understand that feeling instinctively, even if you’ve only been as close as the West Country. Katy, Joe and I are all connected to Devon. And sometimes when you’re down there, on the right day and in the right light, it really does look like the American prairie.”“Metronomy and Katy are two of my big indie heroes. So I was very sweaty when the email arrived! But I had the nicest team. Shoutout to Jamie Harding, who took me and his Arriflex sunset-chasing in Devon for two days. And Kevin Corry, who killed it in the edit.”

Metronomy & Katy J Pearson 'Love Factory' by Ned Botwood

Metronomy & Katy J Pearson's - Love Factory (Official Music Video)

Aidan Zamiri directs a brilliantly offbeat promo for&nbsp;Obongjayar.Stepping into the middle of a pitch black studio, with an expectant audience watching on, we see the artist flex his muscles and nod his head to the beat, as each of his biceps reveal a set of lips.&nbsp;The surreal vision of displaced, lip-syncing&nbsp;body parts proves too much to handle for most of the audience, as they each walk off apathetically, later recalling the event and questioning what it means. But one girl falls in love, and spends the rest of the video embraced with him.&nbsp;We've come to expect a certain surreality from Zamiri, and this video amps it all the way up, whilst retaining a sense of reflective poignancy which contrasts the absurdity of the concept.&nbsp;

Sophie Muller and Theo Adams co-direct an impassioned performance promo for US artist Benson Boone.&nbsp;We see Boone sat in a desolate, cold bedroom set, pensive and alone, whilst the camera floats around him. At the chorus, his body whips up into a zero-gravity atmosphere, before he escapes to a new location, breaking free of his metaphorical prison.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Extending their collaborations on the recent Kylie Minogue videos -&nbsp;including&nbsp;<a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/11/18/kylie-minogue-jessie-ware-kiss-life-sophie-muller/73851" target="_blank">Kiss Of Life</a>&nbsp;-&nbsp;this sees Sophie Muller sharing directing credits with Theo Adams for the first time, and it is another beautifully&nbsp;executed project, superbly shot by Joel Honeywell.It's also a great showcase for the charismatic,&nbsp;athletic Benson&nbsp;Boone. He gives a terrific, emotional&nbsp;performance&nbsp; - including just the right amount of dancing in the rain.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Harvey Pearson directs a spellbinding studio-based&nbsp;promo for&nbsp;Jessie Buckley and Bernard Butler.The first thing to note about this video for a track from the collaboration between actor/singer Buckley and ex-Suede guitarist Butler&nbsp;is the&nbsp;remarkable execution by Pearson - shot all in one-take, with mesmerising lighting cues, fluid camerawork and live audio, there are a myriad of complex processes at play, cleverly hidden by a seemingly simple concept.&nbsp;The black and white aesthetic - following from Pearson's other visuals for the&nbsp;pair's album&nbsp;All Our Days That Tear The Heart&nbsp;- paired with traditional lighting and engaging composition, elevates the atmospheric style&nbsp;and perfectly suits the artistic, jazzy number.&nbsp;

Rianne White is back with the final promo in a three-part series for Winnie Raeder.&nbsp;The video seamlessly transitions from the final frame of <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/04/28/winnie-raeder-promised-love-rianne-white/76090" target="_blank">Promised Love - Part Two of the trilogy</a> -&nbsp;and shows the camera stalking towards the artist as she performs, before spinning to reveal&nbsp;a large studio space, with theatrical art direction elements and the smashed pottery from the previous chapter of the concept.&nbsp;"It was so freeing to be fully immersed in this world we created on set," says White.&nbsp;"The entire process with Winnie across this project has been fuelled by such honest and personal observations of inner worlds. Finding the nerve in it all, entangled in our own physical and emotional bodies."This third and final part brings us full circle. Let’s feel it!!"&nbsp;

In the cold light of day, a young man reflects guiltily on the previous&nbsp;night's infidelity, in Tom Gorst's relatable video for Goddard's banging&nbsp;remix of Cat Burns's Go.The video features a believable&nbsp;performance by Zirihi Zadi as the young man,&nbsp;with Gorst neatly intercutting between his party misbehaviour&nbsp;and the&nbsp;painful&nbsp;Morning After - and then freezing the action for Burns&nbsp;to make her entrance.The lead actor also supplies the&nbsp;dynamism to match this drum &amp; bass makeover of Burns'&nbsp;withering pop-soul ballad, in a dance choreographed by Supple Nam that bleeds from night into day - classily captured by Thomas English.

Rianne White follows the enigmatic visual for Winnie Raeder's <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/03/28/winnie-raeder-end-me-rianne-white/75581">The End Of Me</a> with Promised Love, the second promo in a three-part series.&nbsp;The video opens with a slow pull-out from a piece of priceless pottery, which slowly tumbles and shatters in slow-motion. The interconnectedness of the concept is highlighted by the use of the same shots to end one video and begin another, and a separate vignette suggests this will be the case for the third and final promo as well.&nbsp;The arresting imagery is stripped-back yet very effective, and remains open to interpretation.&nbsp;"Promised Love (Part 2) was truly the most humbling process to trust and believe in this vision," says Rianne White. "There is so much I could say about this film, but the real beauty of it is bringing this moment to the audience to find their own meaning within it."It's powerful to remind ourselves how we really feel and connect when we slow down and listen."&nbsp;&nbsp;

Rianne White directs the first of three visuals for London-based&nbsp;Winnie Raeder's new EP, with&nbsp;a minimalist and near abstract piece for The End Of Me.&nbsp;The video explores connection and comfort, visualised through two pairs of hands entangled in twine, attempting to reach each other and free themselves from their binding. Rianne White explains that the idea came from the clarity&nbsp;of Raeder's delivery of her music.&nbsp;"Winnie has a sound that grants you access to your inner world and has you locked in a dance with yourself as you feel every word and note of it," she reflects.&nbsp;"We spoke about connection, feeling uncomfortable, playing with the nerve in the song - a place where you can be both fearless and vulnerable, consumed by a gas leak effect of your own emotions. Let’s sit still, and really feel it."The focus upon this symbolic imagery, and infusion of emotion perfectly match the downtempo track. It's an intriguing introduction to the video series.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Sigrid takes on the space-time continuum in&nbsp;Femke Huurdeman's dazzling video for It Gets Dark.Sigrid is in a very playful version of outer space, incorporating gorgeous, retro-influenced costumes, ingenious set design, and projections and other in-camera effects, in a consciously studio-based set-up. She connects with her surroundings in numerous ways - and in numerous outfits: sitting on top of worlds; exploring alien environments; observing speeding stars from her space rocket cabin, and then growing&nbsp;Alice-style in relation to her room.&nbsp;It's the second collaboration between the Norwegian pop star and Huurdeman, following the acclaimed video for Mirror last year, and with that experience behind her the Dutch director&nbsp;really plays to Sigrid's&nbsp;strengths as a performer on camera.The wonderful art direction&nbsp;(by Laura Santos) and wardrobe&nbsp;(by Ahida Agirre)&nbsp;come with the unmistakeable&nbsp;imprimateur of CANADA, Huurdeman's production company home. The attention to detail is marvellous, which contributes to this being an irresistable showcase for Sigrid and a very cool song.This is a triumph that's really a credit to&nbsp;everyone involved. The&nbsp;perfect way to herald&nbsp;Sigrid's upcoming second album - and the video that shows what&nbsp;Femke Huurdeman is really capable of.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2][imgtoken data:3][imgtoken data:4]

Stephen Agnew directs an exploration of the anxiety that comes with living a glamorous lifestyle, in his promo for Regard&nbsp;&amp; Kwabs.&nbsp;The conceptual visuals for Signals make use of drawn-out, hypnotic camera moves, which traverse the rooms like a disembodied consciousness.&nbsp;The maze-like location and use of vivid lighting leans into the haunting vibe of the track, feeling very much bittersweet in its presentation.&nbsp;

Harvey Pearson's uses a twin-image format to create a hypnotic video for new artist Leo Bjanji.Throughout the video, Bjanji stands in a US-style phone box, in a field of wind turbines, talking the lyrics to Sea Demon into the receiver, as the camera rotates around him. The double image device really works to compliment this&nbsp;strong, simple set-up. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
