Years & Years, Galantis 'Sweet Talker' by Sophia Ray
Rob Ulitski - 14th Dec 2021
Sophia Ray directs a whimsical fantasy epic for Years & Years and Galantis.Â
Inspired by films like Labyrinth and Gretel & Hansel, the video for Sweet Talker is a sweet yet dark take on a fairytale, where Y&Y's Olly Alexander finds himself trapped in an enchanted castle by a mysteriously sexy Beast.
The concept takes the mythical tale of King Midas and turns it on its head, as Olly finds a magic sword on his escape - which turns anyone he slays into candy.
Ray shows off her talent at creating interconnected yet distinctive set pieces - most recently seen in her video for Sigrid's Burning Bridges - in an exhilarating fashion, breathing life into a candy-coloured version of a medieval fairytale.
It's an alluring aesthetic in which Olly Alexander can explore his mercurial on-screen presence - and offer a glimpse of his naughty side.Â
