January felt like a slow start to the music video year, but it also generated three classics from Sia, Childish Gambino, and Kanye West, who are about as good as it gets. If there's a thread through all these, it's the continuation of dance or choreographed long takes as the prevailing trend, which is also a good thing. Otherwise we have some occasional fits of silliness, some gonzo stuff that's a bit too good to be true, and just enough violence and beauty to keep you on edge.
