The <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/7iXHivxCV38vbNV1gHqaFJ" target="_blank">latest episode of The Promonews Podcast - Talking Music Videos</a> has just been released, with David and Rob of Promonews in conversation with a&nbsp;director with a very distinctive take on the pop video genre - <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/profiles/tash-tung/26523" target="_blank">Tash Tung</a>.&nbsp;She is the director of videos for Bree Runway, Medusa, MK, Dodi, Shaybo and Jorja Smith, Lucinda Chua and more, and since her breakthrough in the mid 2010s, Tash Tung has brought her own style to pop videos - which is often regarded as more understated or intimate than other directors in a similar field.On this episode of the <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7xlA6GsQtJfhtUsxNYiFYz" target="_blank">Promonews Podcast</a> -&nbsp;produced in association with&nbsp;<a href="https://looptalent.co.uk/" target="_blank">Loop Talent</a>&nbsp;- Tash Tung talks about bringing her sensitive&nbsp;style to the pop video genre in various ways, how that helps pop stars present another side of themselves, her use of choreography to convey emotion -&nbsp;and why she cast herself in her video for Sega Bodega.Having directed a number of live videos as well as the more conventional variety, she explains how that experience helped in making her lonform for Dodi, Live In The Attic; and the importance of having established a personal relationship with Shaybo when directing the My Sister&nbsp;video, featuring Jorja Smith. And she talks about exploring identity and specifically her Malaysian&nbsp;heritage, with musician and friend Lucinda Chua. And having broken into the world of commercials she reveals&nbsp;her ambitions for the future.<iframe allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="352" loading="lazy" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/episode/7iXHivxCV38vbNV1gHqaFJ?utm_source=generator" style="border-radius:12px" width="100%"></iframe>This is the latest episode of&nbsp;<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7xlA6GsQtJfhtUsxNYiFYz" target="_blank">The Promonews Podcast: Talking Music Videos</a>.

The Promonews Podcast: new episode with Tash Tung out now!

Tash Tung directs a heartfelt, poetic promo for&nbsp;Lucinda Chua - featuring&nbsp;Chua&nbsp;alongside 9 year-old actor Coco Bridger as Chua’s younger self.The richly cinematic narrative for Golden starts as Lucinda as Yian, confined in the isolation of a mosquito net, discovering&nbsp;Yian Yian, similarly alone. Yian Yian offers her both punishment and salvation, as Lucinda comes to understand and accept herself fully.[imgtoken data:1]Ethereal and tender, the gentle camera movement and sharp focus on composition and space help reveal the story, whilst leaving plenty open to interpretation.&nbsp;Assembling a production team of London’s leading East and South East Asian creatives, the crew includes&nbsp;executive creative producer Tiger Hagino Reid, producer Cheruto Wang, production designer Erin Tse, movement director Duane Nasis and photographer Milo Van Giap.

Tash Tung directs an impressive live film for the four songs on singer-songwriter Dodie's new EP.&nbsp;Each track comes complete with a visual standalone, embracing its own emotional journey and themes. Simultaneously evolving into the full film, Dodie's performance blends with the mesmerising dance choreography, experimenting with ideas of connectivity and privacy.[imgtoken data:1]The punchy dichotomy of light versus dark spills into the art direction and cinematography, without detracting from the intimacy of the performance.&nbsp;The whole piece is bookended by the artist performing alone, and the journey in between is beautifully conceptualised and executed, and matches the lilting nature of the tracks.&nbsp;Beautiful work.&nbsp;

Tash Tung&nbsp;directs the powerful visuals for Shaybo’s new track My Sister,&nbsp;featuring Jorja Smith.The video uses the backdrop of&nbsp;a church&nbsp;to deliver a strong sermon of empowerment to victims of domestic violence.Tung&nbsp;constructs a religious experience, with women of all ages standing in the congregation listening to Shaybo’s message. Intimate in the way it portrays emotion in the audience, the concept mirrors the deeply personal subject matter of the track. These setups are interspersed with shots of a dancer, standing strong yet delicate with her movements.The sermon empowers the audience to help pull themselves out of the dark place they find themselves in, and&nbsp;ends&nbsp;in an expansive landscape, visually representing greener pastures and an overall message of hope.[imgtoken data:1]

Tash Tung directs a sensual and sleek visual for Bree Runway's Gucci - Tung's second video for the dynamic London-based artist, following last year's&nbsp;<a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2019/08/22/bree-runway-all-night-tash-tung/60400" target="_blank">All Night</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Spanning several fashion editorial-style performance setups, the video plays with the idea of luxury and opulence, and toys with the intersection of fashion with fetishism - and Bree starts out as a diamond in the rough, and then breaking out and becoming&nbsp;something even more extraordinary.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Jack Exton utilises an AR rig and a range of lighting effects to add a dynamism and sparkle to the concept, whilst&nbsp;Samuel Marr's edit perfectly mirrors the pace and flow of the track.[imgtoken data:1]

Tash Tung delivers a brilliantly styled and art directed confection for new girl on the block Josie Man.For her track Baby Pink &amp; Blue, the director&nbsp;gives the singer the most colourful of starts, but makes it far more rich and sophisticated that the title suggests.This fashion-forward fantasy might be the most outright pop thing that Tash Tung has done so far in music video, and it looks like a terrific move.

Tash Tung coolly combines vibrant youth with vertigo-inducing drone photography in her video for production trio Meduza&#39;s chart-topping Piece of Your Heart, featuring&nbsp;Goodboys.While a group of friends carelessly tear up the streets, by day and night, shots of a spun-around upside-down city, like something out of Inception, helps instill a sense of a place where everyone can play, and there are no rules.&nbsp;

Tash Tung directs, and casts herself, in an introspective, intimate and direct response to self care with &#39;kisses 2 my phone,&#39; commissioned by 4:3 Boiler Room and Sega Bodega as part of his self*care project.&nbsp;This was a project that challenged the director in various ways - as she explains below. It also approaches an interesting and important issue in a very appealing fashion and works on different levels -&nbsp;as thought-provoking piece on the idea of self-care, and seductively shot visual for the track.

Tash Tung delivers a breezy summer portrait of a quiet British town in this nostalgic clip for Saint Etienne.Filmed around Stevenage and mixing stills and moving image, the clip imagines the band as teenagers in the modern day and follows them around a sleepy market suburb as they try and kill some time. Combining elements that are firmly set in the past (indoor market stalls with their busiest days behind them) and modern curiosities (kids on those hoverboards that were everywhere for five minutes until somebody realised they&#39;re a huge fire hazard) gives the film a timeless quality and a celebration of a side of Britain that doesn&#39;t come up all that often. &nbsp;

Tash Tung visualises the danger of falling for somebody who doesn&rsquo;t have trustworthy intentions in an unnerving landscape for Katiya Falcone&#39;s doomladen Lust is a Ride Through Hell.&nbsp;Toying with vivid colours in natural backdrops, a beautiful and eerie world tilts and fizzes in the film shot entirely on Super 8mm. New artist Katiya follows the symbolic rider unwaveringly, a journey that feels increasingly mournful.&quot;Lust Is A Ride Through Hell is about the first stages of falling for someone - when you know it&#39;s not safe or secure,&quot; says Katiya. &quot;You don&#39;t know if the person feels the same way too, so you feel out of control, uncomfortable, nervous and a little bit crazy.&quot;

Tash Tung&#39;s&nbsp;<a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2016/07/08/kloe-udsm-tash-tung" target="_blank">video for KLOE&#39;s UDSM</a>&nbsp;presented a believable teenage nightmare, where heartbreak becomes the catalyst for the singer&#39;s excessive and increasingly wild behaviour. Now comes the sequel, and KLOE&#39;s full descent into a relentless, nihilistic cycle of drink, drugs and sex.It&#39;s hard-hitting stuff for a pop video, where some conventional pop vid scenarios, usually played for pleasure, are turned dark, partly down to their relentless repetition. It&#39;s helped greatly by Rina Yang&#39;s impressive camerawork, delivering oppressive neon-drenched colours in every scene.&nbsp;Kloe is a very&nbsp;credible focus in all this, lured to ever-harder partying.&nbsp;&quot;Liability is the song that sums me up as a person best,&quot; she has said. &quot;I wrote it last year at a time when I was rebounding quite frequently, desperately trying to run away from any emotion. I didn&#39;t want to feel anything... the video represents complete self-destruction.&nbsp;The UDSM and Liability videos are my proudest achievements to date.&quot;

Chris Turner - aka Favourite Colour: Black - gets together with his former assistant, and now up-and-coming director&nbsp;Tash Tung co-direct this surreal,&nbsp;disorientating video for electronic trio Wrangler, led by Stephen Mallinder, former frontman of Cabaret Voltaire, fearless synth and music video pioneers of the early 80s.Here Mallinder unhoods himself in a deserted place, and uncovers an unlikely&nbsp;murder scene, and a journey that leads disconcertingly back to its start.&nbsp;&ldquo;I never like music to have a single diagnosis, it should be what we each want to see and hear,&quot; says Mallinder. &quot;So it was fascinating to see how Chris and Tash&rsquo;s ideas and imagery in the video resonated with mine, and how the film worked so well with our music.&quot;&nbsp;The video was shot in Dungeness in Kent, and Mallinder continues: &quot;Also we all agreed it would be good to have a nod-of-the-head to the early Cabs videos I made with Peter Care, always walking and with me wearing - in this case rather disturbingly - eye make-up. I feel I am quite terrifying in the film which feeds into the unsettling nature of the track.&nbsp;And it was filmed in both Chris, and my, favourite place in England.&quot;

Wrangler ‘Stupid’

At first it looks like KLOE is having a great&nbsp;time on a big&nbsp;night out, but first impressions are deceiving in this hyper-colourful video for UDSM,&nbsp;directed by Tash Tung.After seeing her ex at a club with another girl, KLOE tries to drown her sorrows and force out a good time with the Great British cocktail of drink, drugs and fast food. It&#39;s a gorgeous haze of contrasting colours courtesy of DoP Rina Yang and, of course, it all ends in tears and vomit, as KLOE reconciles that it&#39;s probably quite a futile thing to put your emotions at bay with booze.I wouldn&#39;t be too upset though. He&#39;s wearing a Hawaiian shirt, so he&#39;s probably a terrible person...

Tash Tung&#39;s follow-up to her video for <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2016/02/08/avante-black-imaginary-love-tash-tung" target="_blank">Avante Black</a>, is an allegorical tale set on a bleak British coastline, in which a&nbsp;man drags a car by rope&nbsp;until his bonds are cut by a woman, who may be his saviour, or his accuser. A dark, impressionistic piece&nbsp;on the weight of guilt, forgiveness, and moral dualism.
