Selena Gomez and Trevor Daniel take quarantine music videos to a whole other dimension in their new visual for “Past Life.”
Directed by Grammy-nominated filmmaking team Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia, the clip starts out simple enough, with Gomez and Daniel singing to each other over Instagram Live. But things quickly turn weird when the camera zooms in on Gomez’s screen and enters a surrealistic CGI world via … her pores and hair? We’ll take it.

Tove Lo’s “Glad He’s Gone,” the lead single and a standout cut from her 2019 album “Sunshine Kitty,” has all the hallmarks we’ve come to expect from the Swedish pop star: a warts-and-all examination of romantic relationships, a sing-along chorus with hilariously Tmi lyrics and a knockout bridge that drives home the song’s ode to devoted friendship.
So it’s only fitting that Lo received her first-ever Grammy nomination for the song’s music video, which takes its camaraderie commitment to new extremes: Lo is seen walking the ends of the earth on an uninterrupted phone call with a distraught friend post-breakup, travailing an arctic tundra, a desert, several oceans, the side of a skyscraper and even a brief prison stint to prove her loyalty. The video was shot in Kiev, and directed by the acclaimed Israeli team of Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia and produced by...

Tove Lo inadvertently embarks on a dangerous globetrotting adventure in her hilarious “Glad He’s Gone” video.
Directors Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia take the song’s premise — of friendship trumping a bad relationship — to the extreme. While out at brunch, the singer receives a call from a friend who’s just dumped a toxic romantic partner. In an effort to comfort her, Lo steps outside and ends up absentmindedly wandering to the (literal) ends of the Earth for her friend — braving deserts and tundras and even a prison stint,...

Bow down to the queen of the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards. Beyoncé’s “Formation” was the top winner Sunday night, taking home the Vma for Best Direction.
Directed by Melina Matsoukas, the video made its debut on February 6 and sparked a whirlwind of admirers and critics who gave it mixed responses for its alleged anti-police stance (which the singer denied.) The song was Bey’s first single off her sixth studio album, “Lemonade,” and was performed live for the first time during the Super Bowl 50 halftime show.
“Formation” was shot in Los Angeles and features references to Hurricane Katrina, antebellum and Louisiana Creole culture, police brutality, racism and black pride. The five-minute video also includes spoken words by New Orleans artist Big Freedia and Messy Mya, who was murdered in New Orleans in 2010.

Coldplay has already insinuated that A Head Full of Dreams would be its last album, and it's safe to say they're going all out for it. The British band debuted the music video for "Up&Up" and the epic, movie-like video features awe-inducing imagery. The band, with the help of directors Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia, turn seemingly ordinary activities and images into the extraordinary. Up is down, down is up; normally large concepts have been miniaturized and vice versa. The result is something altogether magical, but considering the last video involved Beyoncé, fans probably expected an epic follow up. It's clear the band is trying to find some perspective, as lead singer Chris Martin lies...

There's a music video making a splash on the Internet, but unlike most music videos that go viral, its song of choice isn't some current pop anthem. Instead, the latest offering from interactive video company Interlude creates a network of 16 channels all lip-syncing along to Bob Dylan's 'Like A Rolling Stone'. I could go into explicit detail about the intricacies of the fascinating video, which spans the length of the song and never misses a beat as viewers flip randomly between its channels, but you should really just watch it for yourself. Keep in mind that everything was filmed specifically for this video, which means Interlude secured Marc Maron, Danny Brown, Drew Carey, the cast of Pawn Stars, and several other notable people as guest stars. Interlude was hired by Columbia Legacy/Recordings to create the videos, which has been released to coincide with a new 47-cd Bob Dylan box set.

Back in 1965, Bob Dylan didn’t think to make a music video for his much-beloved song “Like a Rolling Stone,” and now in 2013 it seems that’s been taken care of.
The Interlude digital agency has put together an uber-creative treatment for the track, including 16 different television channels on which various personalities lip-synch along to Bob’s voice.
Director Vania Heymann explained, "I'm using the medium of television to look back right at us. You're flipping yourself to death with switching channels [in real life]."
Interlude CEO Yoni Bloch chimed in, "You'll always miss something because you can't watch everything at the same time."
Heymann and the folks at Interlude utilized footage from “The Price is Right,” “Pawn Stars,” and different local news stations, cartoons, a tennis match, and actual footage of Dylan himself.

It's a television universe nobody could have imagined back in 1965. "The Price is Right," BBC News, a tennis match, children's cartoons and a cooking show all vie for our attention. "I'm using the medium of television to look back right at us," director Vania Heymann told Mashable. "You're flipping yourself to death with switching channels [in real life]." Created by digital agency Interlude in partnership with Columbia Records, the video is being released to coincide with "The Complete Album Collection Volume 1," a new 47-cd box set.

Bob Dylan's 1965 "Like a Rolling Stone" has received countless accolades over the past 48 years -- Rolling Stone (the magazine) once named it the Great Rock Song of All Time -- and now it has one of the best videos in recent memory. Although the endlessly inventive troubadour helped pioneer the music video in the 1967 documentary "Don't Look Back," Dylan never really embraced MTV or music video culture in the '80s and '90s. However, for "Rolling Stone," Dylan has gone interactive in a way that's sure to make your day. Directed by Vania Heymann and crated by the...
