Lil Tay
"Sucker 4 Green" |
|
3 mins 34s
1 Oct 2023 |
|
 |
|
Lil Tay is one of those celebrities whose very existence would make a time traveller from twenty years ago launch themselves into the sun with sheer confusion. Her youth and the circumstances of her celebrity (death hoaxes, racial slur scandals, family abuse allegations) make the promo for 'Sucker 4 Green' an uncomfortable watch.

|
3 mins 50s
29 Sep 2023 |
|
 |
|
Crown Prince of K-pop Jung Kook's solo career continues its risqué journey to adulthood with latest track '3D'.

26 Sep 2023 |
|
 |
|
Boygenius have become the band of the moment in mopey indie circles, and this melancholy promo for latest track 'Cool About It' will be ardently received by their target audience. The animated piece is mostly captured in shades of blue, telling the story of two lost toys who find each other in a sketchily-rendered world. It's a gently surreal piece of work, which suits the song's soft acoustic sound to a tee.

|
4 mins 37s
26 Sep 2023 |
|
 |
|
Jungle's video essay take on their latest album grows in impact with each addition, and 'Us Against The World' brings further complexity to the table. The film begins outside the central soundstage with a crashed car, inviting audiences to consider the world outside that heightened environment for the first time. It's more of a straightforward performance piece than other promos in the collection too, asking viewers to interrogate the line between body and story in intriguing new ways.

|
New Jersey breakout artist 070 Shake reunites with creative collaborator Noah Lee in this cryptic promo for latest track 'Black Dress'.

25 Sep 2023 |
|
 |
|
Bleachers wear their Springsteen influence on their sleeve in this vintage-feeling promo for 'Modern Girl'. Boasting a jazzy horn section and performance-focused visuals, the film sees Jack Antonoff and co. give it their all for the camera while delivering staccato lyrics. It isn't anything new sonically, but it's a fun bit of work that's captured with youthful energy by director Alex Lockett.

|
 |
|
Doja Cat has taken her visual identity to the next level as of late, with this intriguing promo going one step further and elevating the artist to something entirely otherworldly.

24 Sep 2023 |
|
 |
|
The Black Eyed Peas offer us an oddly unsettling look into our potential digital futures in this curious promo for new track 'Guarantee'. Expanding on the group's canon of inoffensive songs which sound like they're made to soundtrack nightclub scenes that can't afford music rights, lyrical gems from this outing include "You sexy from your tippy top down to your feet" and "Baby got me hotter than four hundred degrees."

|
Blink-182 bury the hatchet for good with this sweet promo for latest single 'One More Time'. The lyrics directly reference struggles the band has been through - from break-ups to cancer, plane crashes, and other incidents throughout their storied career - while the visuals show the now-grown trio playing against a backdrop of their old promos. It's a touching look at how far they've come, and will be an emotional journey for fans who've been right there alongside them.

3 mins 17s
21 Sep 2023 |
|
 |
|
Troye Sivan follows up wildly successful (and predictably controversial) single 'Rush' with vibe-fuelled party anthem 'Got Me Started'. It treads what's become familiar ground for the Aussie pop star, as the visuals focus on lean, lithe bodies writhing in tautly executed choreography, in addition to bold costuming and a relentless celebration of all things camp.

20 Sep 2023 |
|
 |
|
Imagine Dragons explore the cosmos in this promo for their contribution to the Starfield soundtrack. The wildly popular new game allows players to travel through the universe open-world style, and soaring visuals draw us into the setting with a similar sense of boundless verve here. Things quickly take a turn for the trippy, with director Filfury hinting towards the sort of dramatic options the game allows players to throw themselves into.

Viral freestyler Cristale moves into pre-written songs in this promo for fiery new track 'Roadents'. The rapper has plenty to say when not coming up with her rhymes on the spot, as she muses on street life and the struggle of making it.

"The World's Biggest Paving Slab" |
|

19 Sep 2023 |
|
 |
|
As song titles go, 'The World’s Biggest Paving Slab' is a doozy. The promo takes place in Colne, Lancashire, home of Cemetery Chippy, Lawson Butchers, and a panopticon known as The Atom. It's also home to a man with a papier-mâché head à la Frank Sidebottom, and he'd like to show viewers around this market town.

18 Sep 2023 |
|
 |
|
Beloved by those 'going through something' everywhere, Mitski treats fans to a cryptic feast with this fascinating promo for latest track 'My Love Mine All Mine'. Director A G Rojas translates the singer's melancholy style perfectly to the screen, contrasting wide shots of striking composition with close attention to intimate, forensic details of folding cloth, grasping fingers, and a cracked egg with a strange centre.

 |
|
Eurovision runner-up Käärijä's new single 'It's Crazy, It's Party' features Estonian rapper Tommy Cash, and the accompanying promo transports viewers into a surreal, horror-tinged version of the pair's origin story. Cash seems content to gurn gleefully, like something out of The Hills Have Eyes in a codpiece, while Käärijä sports his distinctive green bolero and is accompanied by a crew of shaven-headed associates on his trip through the night.

Olivia Rodrigo
"Get Him Back!" |
|
3 mins 29s
13 Sep 2023 |
|
 |
|
Olivia Rodrigo's latest promo 'Get Him Back!' is a brand deal with Apple, shot on the iPhone 15 to showcase the new model's filmmaking capabilities. Multiple versions of the singer take city streets by storm during the film, which sees car windows explode as she stomps around sulkily and relays the end of a relationship - unable to decide which version of 'get him back' she means.

"I'm Done" |
|
4 mins 40s
12 Sep 2023 |
|
 |
|
There's a simple yet highly effective concept at the heart of this intriguing promo for Bakar's 'I'm Done'. The singer and bandmates appear to be jamming together in a nondescript living room - so far so standard, until the room itself begins to move. Directing duo Rubberband capture a unique energy in the resulting performance, as the 'room' traverses the streets of London.

14 Sep 2023 |
|
 |
|
How much hairspray is needed to keep Jamie Hannah's phenomenal quiff in place? Whatever the polymer count, the promo for 'Surrender to You' brims with possibilities, as singer-songwriter Hannah opens his heart to another man. Lyrics like, "Disco ball moonlight, all over my skin/Liquid ecstasy to show me where to begin" have a real Jessie Ware energy to them.

Audrey Nuna
"Locket" |
|
2 mins 34s
14 Sep 2023 |
|
 |
|
The late Valentin Petit directs this spunky music video for Audrey Nuna, who finds herself surrounded by posers, fashion victims, and cultural parasites. It's reminiscent of the promo for 'Do You Want To' by Franz Ferdinand, where Alex Kapranos and friends crashed an event full of oh-so-arty types. The question is: how long can Nuna tolerate it?

V
"Slow Dancing" |
|
3 mins 10s
12 Sep 2023 |
|
 |
|
Summer fun meets gentle sci-fi in this diverting promo for V's single 'Slow Dancing'. The BTS member has taken a different sonic direction than his peers when entering the solo arena, and focuses on jazzy rhythms, flares of woodwind instruments, and an altogether slow, surprisingly mature approach to pop music.
