How does one modernize a delicate woodland creature? Through dance, of course! “Stole the Night” features a man and his seemingly raised-by-wolves human dancing and going to the discount store so that s/he can nymph it up in style.
2015: A Space Odyssey, or The Loneliness of the Long Distance Space Traveler.
Either way, it's the first "proper" Alabama Shakes video, even if it's depiction of a potentially doomed astronaut is light years from what you were expecting from a chart-topping act.
Pop star Adam Lambert and director Hype Williams is a very unlikely combo, which is likely why both of them go hard to make this work very well indeed.
Dance is definitely the trend of 2015, ever since Sia’s “Chandelier” (and Kiesza’s “Hideaway”) broke some ground last year with their ur-dance videos. This time Muse and director Robert Hales take you inside a chalk-filled silo while two dancers express their kind of creepy selves.
Can we be BFF’s forever? “Sure!” says Jessie J, whose new video “Flashlight” recalls the days when soundtrack videos were everywhere. Wait, they’re still around..? Okay, then! Don’t you, uh, forget about me!
For those waiting (so far in vain) for a Twin Peaks reboot, this Red Room homage might hold you over...
Yoni Lappin, director: "Ben came to me with an idea about being at the mercy of a woman controlling him in his dreams. We both loved and connected to the Red Room scene from Twin Peaks as a visual reference for his dream world and used this as a starting point. From there, we carried on discussing ideas back and forth and adding layers. Although it may come across as random, nothing is in there for no reason; Ben actually writes his lyrics on that type writer (although we did spray paint it green for the video) and that's Ben's cat in there too. I hope people keep watching it and picking up on the little things."
