Busted's latest single, Nineties, now has a video.
Directed by Rankin, the clip finds the trio taking starring roles in a fun-filled flashback to the days of Top of the Pops, Blind Date, Nirvana, white-suited boy bands and a whole lot more.
Busted and Rankin first collaborated together on the press shots for their 2016 reunion tour. He also shot the cover for their new album, 'Half Way There', which will be released on February 8. Rankin said:
"This film is trying to get back to those amazing Joseph Khan videos of the late '90s and early '00s, where you don't over analyse what it’s about or how it's been made. It’s just fun and makes you feel good, in the same way the song makes you feel good. It’s memorable and you want to watch it again and again to take it all in.
What I loved about doing it was how many of the team in my office were fans of the band and wanted to be in the video. It was at that point I realised the video is for the fans and to really push for that. In my opinion, the best music videos accentuate a song and that’s always what I want to do when making promos. The song is the star - not me or the directing."
In addition to announcing their new album, Busted recently lined up a string of arena shows for spring, as well as playing three chaotic shows in a day at London's legendary 100 Club.
