Colin Solal Cardo directs a spectacular promo for New Zealand singer-songwriter Kimbra, blending movement and intimate expression to create a powerful performance montage. Moving at a breathless pace, the video for replay! sees the artist explore an empty studio space as she flips, bends and crawls, externalising a sense of primal instinct and self-discovery. It's breathtaking, it's brazen, and it's completely mesmerising.Centered on physicality and Kimbra's ownership of the space she inhabits - and the emotions that come with her performance - the video is a tour de force of dynamic cinematography and razor sharp editing, and will no doubt create a buzz for a long time to come. Stunning and standout work - and a brilliant return to the medium from the marvellous Colin Solal Cardo.
