Soft Cell & Pet Shop Boys 'Purple Zone' by Yassa Khan
Rob Ulitski - 23rd Mar 2022
Yassa Khan ushers in a momentous meeting of two icons, Soft Cell and Pet Shop Boys, in the nostalgic promo for Purple Zone.Â
The video combines performance with portraiture-style narrative setups of a diverse variety of characters, celebrating both the 1980s and present day through bold styling and art direction choices. Frozen in an anachronistic time capsule, it's an uncanny yet wildly effective concept, which visualises both group's longstanding success.Â
Soft Cell and Pet Shop Boys all make an appearance - in a playful ice cream truck vignette and pulling pints behind a bar, respectively - and the overall vibe of the video feels light-hearted, celebratory and above all, entertaining.Â
