Alan Walker, Dash Berlin, Vikkstar 'Better Off (Alone Pt. III)' by Mads Neset
Rob Ulitski - 2nd Oct 2023
Mads Neset directs an enigmatic dystopian concept for Alan Walker's reworking of a classic dance anthem.
Opening with a dark, mysterious vibe, clever visual effects transport the viewer into an expansive, fictional realm. the video transitions to a lighter tone as the three artists infiltrate an evil corporation's tower, connect to its propaganda speakers, and jam out, sharing their tune with the people.
Filmed in Norway, the video showcases artists Dash Berlin and Vikkstar, and pays homage to the 90's with a CD-centric concept and nostalgic hook. It marks a debut for Vikkstar, who is primarily known for his YouTube content with the Sidemen group. In the video, both Vikkstar and Dash Berlin enter Alan's universe, donning the iconic Walker facemask.
Action-packed with a distinctive, cinematic aesthetic, Neset nails the sense of a contemporary version of a classic.
