Years & Years, MNEK 'Valentino' by Jordan Rossi
Promonews - 14th Feb 2019
Olly Alexander and MNEK drop a February 14th Anti-Valentine, courtesy of Jordan Rossi, who's crafted a video that teaches you how to purge and dispose of that piece of trash you called a boyfriend.
Opening on a beautiful Valentine’s themed hotel suite, Olly’s lover is MIA this year - as a post-it note on a giant teddy bear reveals. He’s completely heartbroken, in need of a BFF, and some serious TLC... Enter MNEK who tries to pull Olly out of his rut and convince him he doesn’t need his nefarious ‘Valentino’ anymore.
The pair take it to the extreme and go full-blown anti-Valentine’s Day; trashing the hotel suite, having luxurious champagne baths, and destroying that goddamn teddy bear. So if you can't be with the one you love on Valentine's, now you know what to do...
JORDAN ROSSI:
Everyone pitched in and got their hands dirty. It’s a really healthy, collaborative way of working.
“This was my second collab with MNEK and my first with Olly. They are both an absolute dream to work with. Not only do they bring an incredible energy and sensibility, but they’re also super creative. Nothing is off limits - there are no bad ideas. This made for a truly creative process on set. Everyone pitched in and got their hands dirty. It’s a really healthy, collaborative way of working, and I loved every second..."
