Olly Alexander has debuted a video for Years & Years' latest single, 'Sweet Talker'.
Taken from forthcoming album 'Night Call', the song sees Olly teaming up with Galantis, with a press release revealing that Olly "won't settle" for being ghosted.
Director Sophia Ray comments that the video was "inspired by iconic fantasy films like 'Labyrinth' and 'Gretel & Hansel': a sickly sweet but dark take on a fairytale, where superstar Olly Alexander finds himself trapped in an enchanted castle by a mysteriously sexy beast. The concept behind the video takes the Greek mythical tale of King Midas, and turns it on its head, where Olly finds a magic sword in his escape through this castle, that turns anyone he slays into candy. Olly had some amazing references and a real clear aesthetic style when it came to the brief for this video, full of whimsy, fashion and fantasy - it got me excited straight away to start coming up with ideas from his moodboards. Olly and I then developed the concept and creative for the video together to really bring it to its full fruition."
