Disclosure – 'You & Me' Video

Tom Breihan of Stereogum writes: The crazy-exciting young British dance duo Disclosure released their new buoyant single “You & Me,” a collaboration with the singer-songwriter Eliza Doolittle, last week. And today, we get the video, a beautifully shot and edited story about a young couple traveling through Europe together. We see them making out, drinking, arguing, dancing, backflipping, getting lost, jumping into absurdly blue water, riding roller coasters, smacking each other with a dildo. It’s all just terribly romantic and inviting, and when the actual Disclosure show up near the end, it’s finally like: “Oh right, this is a music video.” Watch it below. READ THE FULL STORY HERE.

New Reality Show to Skip TV, Play Entirely on Social Media

Andrew Wallenstein of Variety writes: Who says a reality show has to air on TV? The Chernin Group is producing an audacious new unscripted series that will be distributed entirely on social-media platforms instead of having a home on TV, according to sources familiar with the production. The series, entitled “@SummerBreak,” will play out largely on four platforms: Twitter, where Peter Chernin sits on the board of directors, and Tumblr, where he is among the investors, as well as YouTube and Instagram. Production has just begun and the launch is anticipated this summer with AT&T on board as sole sponsor and financial backer. A rep for Chernin Group declined comment. READ THE FULL STORY HERE.

It comes with a lyric video featuring an ominous hooded character, a total dichotomy with the swoony, energetic track. It’s a conundrum! But a lovely one. It’s no wonder that the band is so beloved by oddball Danny DeVito. Check out the video below. READ THE FULL STORY HERE.
