Feature Video: Confidence Man & JADE - gossip
Talk shit get a hit! Aussie party starters Confidence Man have joined forces with pop powerhouse JADE to give us something to talk about in this week's Feature Video, 'gossip'. Serving five lowball glasses of scandalous hearsay, with a side of side-eyes (WHAT DID TINA SAY??), this East London lock-in is a debauched spin of the Russian-roulette wheel from director India Harris. Having worked with both artists previously; with Con Man on clips like 'Sicko' and 'Now U Do', and with Jade on 'Plastic Box', this project was a match made in the pub. 'I loved the 00's weirdo club vibe of the track so straight up I knew the video had to be some kind of bonkers narrative' says India. 'The concept sparked from the idea that a disjointed bar full of cloned versions of the same person, somehow became synchronised in a moment before descending into chaos… We went fully cinematic with a letterbox aspect ratio and played with wide-lensed, dutch angles for that pulp, 90's Tarantino vibe. Bring Jade's perfect character building into the madness of Confidence Man's world and voila!' Confidence Man's Janet Planet and Sugar Bones, alongside JADE, all give perfectly bitchy-and-inebriated performances, almost like these were the roles they were born to play (sorry, lol), while India sets them up in all kinds of eccentric scenarios, filled with gun-barrel perspectives, cocktail-sipping, Russian-roulette showdowns, and floor-humping dance moves. The classic Con Man irony intersects with spaghetti western, Mafia and dive bar energy in a truly jam-packed three and a half minutes. 'Indi went full throttle on this one' adds Janet. 'Dramatic, sexy and dumb as all hell. Conman in our element doing what we do best. And bringing Jade into our druggy messed- up world was simply an honour.'
