2025 in Review: Music Music Music

Charli XCX has four feature film projects arriving in 2026. But still found time to make a great music video in 2025
I promise we'll pull this back to music in movies at the end of the post but for a curveball we'll first share favourite music videos of 2025. Those mini-musicals haven't had a true "home" in decades (after the initial heyday of MTV many moons ago) but they still continue to be a fascinating shortform offshoot of cinema itself. We use to think of them as training ground for future film directors but it feels like that's been a long while since it was a "path" to Hollywood. How long until we get another music video master that moves up to auteur status? It's been 30 years since that happened for David Fincher! Still, we're always hoping it will happen again...
