Cage The Elephant debuts their music video for “Black Madonna,” the most recent single off their album Social Cues. The video, directed by lead singer Matt Shultz, and edited by Michael Rees entirely over Zoom, is made up of a collage of new footage made under quarantine, live and behind-the-scenes video from the band, and repurposed existing never-before-seen film recordings. It also incorporates footage from 15 collaborators collected over the past eight weeks, including contributions from the award-winning Guggenheim fellow and Academy Award-nominee, Kasumi.

Flaunt says the video is a “beautiful hodgepodge of imagery, one that somehow feels both retro and timely. With swooping visuals and digital effects abound, Rees strung together a film that dances along to Cage The Elephant’s delightful beat.”

 

“Tomorrow’s World” is the brand-new song from Matt Bellamy and marks his second solo release. The song was recorded earlier this month and is a stand-alone track capturing Bellamy in a reflective mood with romantic lyrics, underpinned by an atmospheric piano and strings arrangement and dreamy melody.

The song issues a message of hope, a soft yet powerful rallying call to seize the opportunity in front of us. Says Bellamy, “This song captures my mood and feelings whilst in lockdown.  I have been reminded of what really matters in life and have discovered growing optimism, appreciation, and hope for the future.

Directed by Tomas Aksamit, the visual opens with Ant, Atmosphere’s silent half, sitting down in an empty movie theater and watching as the vocalists, each conspicuously solitary, deliver verses in settings that range from post-apocalyptic to bizarrely historical.
