Jake Bugg

God Only Knows If This Is The Most Star Studded Video Ever

Take one of the greatest songs ever and invite Pharrell Williams, Emeli Sande, Elton John, Lorde, Chris Martin, Florence Welch, Kylie Minogue, Stevie Wonder, Brian May, Jake Bugg, One Direction, Chrissie Hynde, Jamie Cullum, Dave Grohl, Sam Smith, and many others to join songwriter Brian Wilson in the most epic group since "We Are The World." The fact its coupled to an ambitious and stylish video directed by Francois Rousselet, of Jonas & Francois, that includes every single performer in uniquely appropriate set-ups makes it all the better — and yes, there's a charitable tie-in.

PS: How is Bono not in this??

Jake Bugg "What Doesn't Kill You" (Andrew Douglas, dir.)

On his first album, young Jake Bugg was heralded by some critics as a future Bob Dylan. On this, the first clip from his upcoming sophomore disc, if you believe the early YouTube commentors, Jake is now channeling Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys. Regardless, even though this b/w piece is just him lipsynching along, he has a certain poise rare for a man his age — he wants to let the music speak for itself. No problem.
