Charli XCX’s new music video Doing It featuring Rita Ora is the definition of a dance-pop track. The video follows them as two sexy outlaws on the run committing crimes and living free.

Charli XCX commented from her official YouTube channel The video was very inspired by Thelma & Louise, Natural Born Killers and Barbie. Rita and I went out to the Californian desert and shot in some incredible places with some incredible people.  I was very inspired by Florida strip clubs, 70s fashion (I’m wearing flares!!!!!) and David Lachapelle. It was so fun working with Rita on this. We had a wild time.

This random guy with a tray full of umbrella’d beverages.
The motel swimming pool filled with neon green crocs.
The desert reporter at the very beginning, who does not know!
That bartenders ‘tache.

Today’s #ThrowbackThursday takes us back to January 22nd of 1967, where the world famous 4-membered band The Monkees performed their first ever live show to a sold out crowd in San Francisco.

Their unforgettable single I’m A Believer went to number 1 on the U.S Billboard Hot 100 chart and remained there for 7 consecutive weeks. It was the biggest-selling record for all of 1967!

Fifth Harmony and Kid Ink have collaborated to create their latest club-hopping masterpiece titled Worth It. The track is off Fifth Harmony’s newest album Reflections, and the strong melody is lead with horns and a generous amount of bass. Simple, repetitive lyrics, but that’s the main-stream norm nowadays. In it’s defence, no one’s really honing in on any deep poetic meanings whilst they’re killing in on the dance floor.

We’re hoping if they release an official music video for the song, it’s going to have an awesomely choreographed dance routine.
”Give it to me, I’m worth it”

R&B singer Dawn Richard releases new music video for Tide: The Paradox Effect from her most recent album Blackheart

The track is very hypnotic with a down-tempo electronica feel, it has been described by fans as Trifonic / Phutureprimitive and more commonly Chillstep. It seems everyday a new genre is concocted, but whatever people want to call it, it’s good stuff.

Prince releases new video collaboration for Marz, featuring all-female band 3rdEyeGirl. The old-school rock song is from his 36th full-length studio album Plectrumelectrum.

The live-performance video was posted to YouTube by Warner Bros Records on January 16th, and seems to be fairly low budget. As well as killing off his Facebook and Twitter accounts, The Purple One has been very serious about ensuring his art is not distributed without his consent. He’s already warned YouTube and eBay that he would sue for not filtering unauthorised content. Well, good luck with that we say.

Childish Gambino’s new video for his song Sober was only posted a week ago to YouTube and has already accumulated over 3 million views. The video showcases some of his many talents including magic, acting, writing, producing, singing, comedy and dance. However, his lady-courting skills are in need of some serious polishing.

Great bits:
His floor slide at 1:54
When the beat takes off at 2:49 and his dance routine that follows.
The girl was just waiting for her takeaway order the whole time.
How Gambino ends in the same exact way in which he started. Notice how the clock on the wall never changes time? This could mean lots of things, or nothing it all.

Happy Birthday to a 23 year old Mac Miller. It’s hard to believe he was only born in 1992 and already has such a built-up career. His song The Way featuring Ariana Grande now has 212,606,548 views on YouTube and helped catapult Ariana’s career into the A-listers league.

He’s also pretty buddy-buddy with Wiz Khalifa, another A-lister. You would think they would be close to some extent with their music having so many similarities. Though the relationship goes way beyond just that of a professional one. Wiz has called him his brother, and Mac has been quoted saying ”Wiz has been a big brother to me with this music thing so far. Our relationship is beyond music. He really is just my homie, whether I will be making music or not.” It’s very possible they will be together partying it up somewhere for Miller’s birthday bash.

Here at Creation we’re all about the music, art and visuals of an artists production. Mac Miller’s Of The Soul ticked all of our boxes and here’s what we loved about it:

The spoken intro: ”Looks like I wrote this song on paper… First time I did that in like 3 years…
My handwriting is horrible and I can barely read this”
The smooth, chilled vibe of the piano melody and beats, perfect for summer cruising.
The 3 gymnasts and their sexy, beautifully choreographed dance routine.
The multicoloured backdrop of spray-painted pyramids contrasting with the plain, clean white.

British pop/rock band Rixton unveiled the music video for their song Hotel Ceiling via VEVO on January 15th. The song, written by Ed Sheeran, has atypical lyrics and video. Despite the song’s sounding like a run of the mill love ballad, it’s a lot edgier than that.

“We chose not to be in the video because we didn’t want to distract from the actors who were really able to hone in on this story, and convey the meaning of our song,” Jake Roche tells us. “Since the lyrics have a strong narrative, we wanted to portray that in the video and we’re really thrilled how it turned out.”

The music video, starring Alice Eve, follows a wild and passionate relationship, but also cute, and fairly common for a pair of free spirits wrapped up in young love.

Things start to take a turn for the worse… and there’s a twist you don’t want to miss.

Robbie Williams’ song Love Is You, off his newest album Under the Radar Vol.1 is  quite obviously a love letter. The song and video alike are simple, sincere and showcase his softer side and gentler vocal range.

When the album was first announced it was described as a collection of discards and demos that ‘cried out for a home’. He told his fans he wanted them to hear all these songs that he had written and felt incredibly passionate about, otherwise they would have remained on his computer. Interestingly enough, the album was released the same day as Take That’s III. How’s that for competition?

Here’s the endearing lyrical music video that was released to YouTube earlier this week, presented in a doodle-type crumpled note paper style.

A few weeks ago we were cozied up listening to Baby, It’s Cold Outside. And though our winter wonderlands still remain, Ne-Yo is determined to heat things up with his new music video.

(To watch this video in Creation 5, just tap here.)

Coming With You is the R&B artists latest single off his upcoming album Non-Fiction, due to be released January 27th. Brimming with vibrant colours, beautiful beach shots and funky edits, It’s definitely a summer party style dance track. The video features an array of mouth-watering scantily clad models, bay-watch style, and they certainly know how to strut their stuff.

What we love:
Ne-Yos ‘90s inspired patch-coloured blazer.
The subtle funky dance moves you’d miss if you blinked.
The catwalk on a boardwalk pier.
The Michael Jackson inspired thunder storm night scenes.

#ThrowbackThursday Today we go back to 1983 when Men at Work started a 4-week run at Nº1 on the US charts with the whacky, quirky, wonderful track Down Under (also known as “Land Down Under”), Australia’s unofficial theme song. The hit also scored a Nº1 position in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Denmark & Switzerland and reached the top 10 in many other countries, selling 2 million copies in the US alone.

The song was written by the group’s co-founders, Colin Hay and Ron Strykert. Colin Hay told Songfacts: “The chorus is really about the selling of Australia in many ways, the overdevelopment of the country. It was a song about the loss of spirit in that country. It’s really about the plundering of the country by greedy people. It is ultimately about celebrating the country, but not in a nationalistic way and not in a flag-waving sense. It’s really more than that.”

The flute part in the song was based around the tune of “Kookaburra”, a well-known Australian children’s rhyme. Filmed in part at the Cronulla sand dunes outside of Sydney, the insane video was a huge hit on MTV. The guy who stands up and offers the Vegemite sandwich is the band’s drummer, Jerry Speiser. He wasn’t really “6 foot 4 and full of muscles,” he had to stand on something to get extra height – he also wore a wig.

Maroon 5 crash real weddings in their new Sugar video and it’s wonderful! The band announces their intentions at the beginning of the clip: “It’s December 6th, 2014. We’re going to drive across L.A. and hit every wedding we possibly can.” They drive off in a couple of gorgeous convertible Cadillacs to complete their mission.

(To watch this video in Creation 5, just tap here.)

Frontman Adam Levine was blown away by the band’s marital tour de force. “It was an out of body experience,” he said. “I had no idea I would be affected by the overwhelming reactions we received from the couples and guests. Being able to create an unforgettable experience for several people was the highlight of it all.”

Levine told Entertainment Tonight that it was “stressful to arrange all of it” but the brides and grooms were certainly shocked that the band had crashed their weddings. “It was a lot of fun. It felt good to kind of surprise these people and make them happy. Happy that they liked our band too. It would have been a total disaster [if not]!”

Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin helmed the clip who is an old friend of Levine’s. They had been planning to collaborate for years. “It was one of the great experiences of my career making the Sugar video with Adam and the boys,” he said. “Literally lightning in a bottle. Adam and I are old friends and have been talking about doing something together for over a decade…. Plus, it’s very meaningful because the band was in New York 10 years ago and attended the original Wedding Crashers premiere.”

Sugar is the 3rd single from Maroon 5’s fifth studio album V, following Maps and Animals. V came in at Nº 4 on on Rolling Stone’s list of the Year’s 20 Best Pop Albums.

The video was uploaded to Vevo yesterday (January 14) and it has already notched up 2.7 million views in under 24 hours! The video will make its TV debut Saturday, January 17 at 9 a.m. on VH1’s Top 20 Countdown.

Move over, James Bond, Melissa McCarthy is horning in on your territory! The first trailer for Spy has been released and it’s hilarious! With Jason Statham, Jude Law, 50 Cent & Miranda Hart this is a must-watch. The Bond parallels are obvious and it’s such fun to see McCarthy play a spy character who is so far removed from the alpha male types we’re so used to seeing.

(To watch the trailer in Creation 5, just tap here.)

McCarthy plays a desk-bound CIA analyst who transforms into s Spy. Naturally, she has a hard time following the rules and staying out of trouble. Jude Law plays a suave super spy and Jason Statham plays an arrogant, yet clumsy spy – you’d think these guys would be more at home in a serious spy thriller rather than a goofy comedy, but we’re certainly not complaining! It’s unclear how 50 Cent figures into the plot, but he will play himself.

Official Synopsis: Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) is an unassuming, deskbound CIA analyst, and the unsung hero behind the Agency’s most dangerous missions. But when her partner (Jude Law) falls off the grid and another top agent (Jason Statham) is compromised, she volunteers to go deep undercover to infiltrate the world of a deadly arms dealer, and prevent a global disaster.

Directed by Paul Feig this movie marks yet another collaboration with Mccarthy. Their fruitful relationship started with Bridesmaids, which took both of their careers to another level. They worked together on 2013’s The Heat and are now looking to team up again with the Ghostbusters reboot.

We have so much spy fun to look forward to this year – what with Kingsmen, Agent Carter the new James Bond movie and now Spy, 2015 is shaping up to be the Year of the Spy and we’re real happy with that! The film will hit cinema’s on May 22, 2015.

John Legend & Common have released a music video for their Golden Globe-winning masterpiece Glory from the Selma soundtrack. With lines about Rosa Parks, Ferguson and Dr. King this song is powerful and moving! Glory was named Best Original Song at the Golden Globes on Sunday (Jan 18), with Legend and Common beating stiff competition including Sia and Lorde.

(To watch this video in Creation 5, just tap here.)

Common and Legend were presented with their Golden Globe by Prince and Common said: “I am the hopeful black woman who was denied the right to vote. I am the caring white supporter killed on the frontline of freedom. I am the unarmed black kid, who maybe needed a hand, but instead of was given a bullet. I am the two fallen police officers slain in the line of duty. Selma has awakened my humanity.” Legend added: “I’m so honoured to be a part of this amazing film. We’re so grateful to write this song.”

“The first day I stepped on the set of Selma, I began to feel like this was bigger than a movie,” Common said in his Golden Globes acceptance speech. The critically acclaimed film Selma is an American historical drama directed by Ava DuVernay and written by Paul Webb. It is based on the 1965 Selma to Montgomery voting rights marches led by James Bevel, Hosea Williams, and Martin Luther King, Jr. It stars David Oyelowo as King, Tom Wilkinson as President Lyndon Johnson, Common as Bevel, and Carmen Ejogo as Coretta Scott King.

We loved the comments on YouTube under this video – here are a few:

I first heard this song today, and it immediately grabbed hold of my heart. Beautiful, beautiful chorus/hook.

Great song
No auto tune
Rap lyrics that doesn’t involve big booty bitches and getting money or selling drugs
Delivers a powerful message
Classical music being used instead of electronic music
Thank you John Legend and Common

It’s man against beast in The Prodigy’s animated urban warfare-styled video for their new brash and chaotic single Nasty. The track premiered yesterday (January 12) on Zane Lowe’s BBC Radio 1 show and will feature on their upcoming new album, The Day Is My Enemy, their first album for six years! The animated clip features an adorable furry hero (who is the cover star of their new album) in a battle of wills with some local hunters. The final showdown is a bit transformative.

(To watch this video in Creation 5, just tap here.)

Veteran electronic act The Prodigy have harnessed the same kind of explosive energy on this track that is found on previous hits like Breathe and Smack My Bitch Up. The follow-up album to 2009’s Invaders Must Die features 14 tracks and according to founding member Liam Howlett, promises to be a more collaborative effort, one that will “stand apart” from today’s current EDM scene.

The band will be touring the UK to support the album release and tickets go on sale tomorrow (Wednesday January 14). They previously announced a load of festival dates, including a performance at Australia’s traveling Future Music tour in February, as well as at Rock AM/Rock IM Park in Germany and the Isle of Wight Festival in the summer.

If you’re interested in the real-life battle between the foxes and the people of London, read more in this article in the Telegraph.

The album will be released on March 30 via Three Six Zero Music/Warner Bros. and the band’s own Take Me to the Hospital imprint.

The Day Is My Enemy Tracklist: 01. The Day Is My Enemy 02. Nasty 03. Rebel Radio 04. Ibiza (featuring Sleaford Mods) 05. Destroy 06. Wild Frontier 07. Rok-Weiler 08. Beyond the Deathray 09. Rhythm Bomb (featuring Flux Pavilion) 10. Roadblox 11. Get Your Fight On 12. Medicine 13. Invisible Sun 14. Wall of Death

Avengers: Age of Ultron Trailer 2 has arrived and it’s incredible! It reveals the mayhem and madness that happens when Avengers turn on each other…Fans will be most delighted to see Ultron up close and terrifying. “Everyone creates the thing they dread,” Ultron declares in the trailer (voiced by James Spader). “I’m going to tear you apart… from the inside.” Seeing that Ultron can conceivably infect anything technological, including for example, your phone, this seems like a reasonably valid threat and not one that could be easily defeated.

(To watch this trailer in Creation 5, just tap here.)

Marvel released the trailer yesterday evening (Jan 12) and it already has over 2 million views in under 24 hours! The trailer might only be 1 minute 40 seconds long but it packs in so much information. We get a closer look at the mega evil of Ultron, Hulk does a lot of smashing things up, Captain America seems to be in a lot of trouble and we get to see the Avengers fight not just Ultron’s evil but the discord amongst themselves. As the Black Widow says in the trailer, “Oh boy.”

We were also fascinated by a mystery woman in a cave – who is she and what is her significance? She must be integral to the plot. The trailer doesn’t give us any answers so we’re thinking could this cave be a place where Vibranium is extracted? Surely Ultron could figure a way to construct a version of himself from Vibranium – he’s smart enough. Captain America’s shield is made from Vibranium and it is found in the fictional African nation of Wakanda…so maybe…just maybe…

Avengers: Age of Ultron opens in North America on May 1 and in the UK on April 24.

The video for the Dolce & Gabbana Summer 2015 Campaign is wonderful! It’s full of shirtless male models, Victoria Secret’s models, flamenco dancing, a few Olé’s and of course, some drop dead gorgeous clothes. In the plethora of fashion campaigns that mostly feature depressed looking models, Dolce campaigns are always much more fun and alive. This year’s is no exception – traditional Italian and Spanish elements combine together for some colourful Mediterranean sensuality.

(To watch this video in Creation 5, just tap here.)

The video features Bianca Balti, Vittoria Ceretti, Irina Sharipova and Blanca Padilla (a new Victoria’s Secret model) as the fashion matadors the designers sent down the runway back in September last year for their Spanish-influenced collection.

It also features José Maria Manzanares – a 28 year old Spanish bullfighter who at age 12 faced his first bull. He inherited his skills from his father and grandfather and made his debut on the arena before the age 20. Today he’s one of the most talented bullfighters in the world.

Nicki Minaj’s wild, emotional journey on the road to her 2014 album The Pinkprint is the subject of a new MTV documentary titled Nicki Minaj: My Time Again. The film is a sequel to her 2010 documentary My Time Now which looked at the rapper’s meteoric rise to fame and the release of her debut album Pink Friday. Now that she is already established as one of hip-hops top MCs she has broken into another stratosphere of stardom and, as seen in the trailer, the sequel provides an in-depth look at Minaj – in the studio, on the stage and with friends and family.

(To watch this video in Creation 5, just tap here.)

“I didn’t know that this album would entail an emotional roller coaster,” Minaj says in the trailer. “No one could prepare for this business. Until you are in it, you really can’t wrap your brain around it.”

The 60-minute film also takes a look at last year’s chaotic MTV Video Music Awards – a huge python bites one of the back-up dancers during rehearsals and Minaj suffers a serious wardrobe malfunction during her performance of Bang Bang with Ariana Grande and Jessie J. We also get a rare glimpse into Her Minajesty’s private life, with plenty of laughs and tears along the way. “Every human needs to push themselves to the point of breaking sometimes,” she explains. “If you never break, you never know how much pressure you could take.”

Nicki Minaj: My Time Again will air on Sunday, January 18 at 10pm (ET/PT) on MTV.

Here’s the first documentary, My Time Now (Tap here to open this in Creation 5)

OMG Get your dancing shoes on because this cover of Avicii’s Wake Me Up by 2Cellos is absolutely brilliant! A dance anthem like you’ve never heard it before! 2Cellos, made up of Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser, have been sharing their incredible covers of famous songs for a few years now, covering songs by Iron Maiden, Sting, Mumford and Sons and AC/DC, and this cover proves yet again that no song is out of bounds for the classical instrument.

Musically, the duo have taken an Avicii song that combines electronic dance music with pop country and put their neo-classical meets rock and roll spin on it. It transcends boundaries of age and time – and the video fits that very nicely as well.

The creative video shows three distinct eras: the duos beginnings in 1996, as rebels taking cello lessons when they were kids, to head-banging club appearances in the present day 2015, to the future in 2069 when they cause mayhem in an old people’s home. All in just 4 minutes!

Watch Iggy Azalea make the crowd Beg For It in her stunning performance at the People’s Choice Awards in Los Angeles. The “Black Widow” rapper was named Favourite Hip-Hop Artist beating Jay Z, Drake, T.I. and, yes, Nicki Minaj! Iggy gave the most visually arresting performance of the evening. The stage set was styled a la De Stijl – all sharp angles and bright primary colours.

(To watch this video in Creation 5, just tap here.)

On Wednesday evening (January 7) the biggest names in Hollywood gathered at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles for the 41st Annual People’s Choice Awards, hosted by Anna Faris and Allison Janney, with celebrity guests Ellen DeGeneres, Ben Affleck, Amy Adams and Melissa McCarthy. At these awards the winners are chosen completely by fans. Performances came from Iggy Azalea, Lady Antebellum and Fall Out Boy.

Just before naming Iggy the winner of Favourite Hip-Hop artist presenter Monica Potter, as part of a joke with Dax Shepard, listed a few mangled rapper names like “Snoopy Dogg” and “Dr. Drew.” and “Igloo Australia” – which was the derogatory moniker that Azalia Banks had branded Iggy with on a recent Twitter feud. In true star style, Iggy brushed off the reference and thanked her fans assuring them that the award was “not wasted on me.”

Aside from Iggy’s great performance, one of our favourite parts of the show was when Ben Affleck receiving a special humanitarian honour. Amy Adams presented him with the Favourite Humanitarian Award for his extensive work with the East Congo Initiative.

“Sometimes the world is just a terrible and scary place,” he said during his acceptance speech. “But one thing I learned by watching people… is trying to do just a little bit…the one way to combat the sad things we see… is to try to bring a little bit of kindness into the world.”

Bizarre, intriguing, confusing, artistic and mesmerising! Sia’s music video for her new single Elastic Heart is true art and great casting, starring Maddie Ziegler and Hollywood star Shia LaBeouf, Sia has delivered a fitting visual sequel to Chandelier. Uploaded to YouTube yesterday afternoon (Jan 7) it has already notched up an incredible 3.2 million views in less than 24 hours.

(To watch this video in Creation 5, just tap here.)

The video was directed by Australian Daniel Askill, who also shot Chandelier, and was choreographed by Ryan Heffington. It’s an emotionally wrought video focusing on an exhausting emotional exorcism which all unfolds inside an oversized birdcage. It’s completely captivating and wonderfully oddball.

Ziegler wears the same blonde wig and bodysuit that she wore for Chandelier and her manic performance is just as passionate and intense. The dancing, at times, looks like professional wrestling and other times like Capoeira. LaBeouf also gives an incredible performance – it’s certainly one of the most memorable music videos we’ve seen in a long time.

Creating art always upsets some people and there has been some backlash in the last 24 hours with people taking to Twitter with “paedophilia” concerns. Sia has tweeted her defence, claiming that her intention was to “create some emotional content” and portray her “two warring self states”. That’s the nature of creating art; if there isn’t an element of upset, you probably aren’t doing it right.

The track is the latest to be lifted from Sia’s latest album 1000 Forms of Fear and was originally written for the Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack.

Sia will appear on Saturday Night Live on January 17 with Maddie Zeigler.
