Multiple award-winning director Sophie Muller portrays musical icon Kylie Minogue as a sequinned Goddess in perfect post-lockdown Pop promo. Kylie’s ‘Say Something’ music video dropped last Friday from the new album ‘DISCO’ (released on 6th November on the BMG record label). A perfect post- lockdown antidote after months of quarantine and pandemic-induced anxiety, the promo directed by Sophie Muller is an astral cornucopia of stars, sequins and Queen of Pop Kylie majestically mounted upon a sculpture of a golden horse. The film stars Kylie and a lone dancer (Kaner Flex), in an ideal socially distanced shoot scenario. Muller makes the most of Kylie’s photogenic face, presenting her as some kind of Space Age Hollywood screen siren.
Muller portrays Kylie as a sequinned siren in this inter-galactic video evoking 1970s Psychedelia with a 1920s Gastby-esque flapper aesthetic, capturing her as if through the lens of a futurist Horst P Horst. The post-modern aesthetic is achieved through some stunning VFX by Ross McDowell, styling by Matthew Josephs and costume design by Ed Marler.
The DOP was Robbie Ryan, and the promo was exec produced amid Covid- restrictions by PRETTYBIRD UK co-founder Juliette Larthe and produced by Benji Landman.
Executive Producer and PRETTYBIRD UK co-founder Juliette Larthe said: “We were delighted to be beating post lockdown blues in a socially-distanced hyper- hygienic Black Island Studio shoot. Just when it seemed dancing might actually have died, the Phoenix arose and the Queen of DISCO AKA KYLIE MINOGUE alights and ignites the night, shooting stars and showering us with the magic in an intergalactic marvel by our hella superstar Sophie Muller, with glitters and sparklers, dressed like the Empress of our Globe’s Pop, riding a horse thru the Universe made with the world’s Major Mavericks & SOLID GOLD crew, who helped to achieve this vision of JOY and feast for the senses.”
