# Videodrome #72 – This week’s best videos
Honestly, as I was compiling the column this week, I found myself losing
my heart to **Angel Haze**. Though nobody liked my video post on my
Facebook wall, I am still more than convinced that the blogosphere is
strong with [this one][1]{: target="_blank"}. Check out her new video
and a handful of others that have been floating our metaphorical boat
this week.
**#1 Angel Haze -- Werkin Girls**, directed by Alex Lee & Kyle
Wightman
Rap newcomer **Angel Haze** recently dropped her brilliant new track
"Werkin Girls". A feminist manifesto of sorts so here's a shout out to
all of the werkin girls out there!
///
**#2 Connan Mockasin -- Faking Jazz Together**, directed by
Fleur&Manu
Last year, when **Connan Mockasin** released his *Forever Dolphin Love*
album via **Erol Alkan**'s **Phantasy** imprint, I was blown away. It
took until last week---when a remix appeared online---for the rest of
the interwebs to discover him. Peep this video by the French directing
duo Fleur&Manu.
///
**#3 Erdbeerschnitzel -- Hello**, self-directed
German producer **Erdbeerschnitzel** will release his debut album
Tender Leaf on November 19 via Hamburg based record label
**Mirau**. Now you can get an idea of what he's all about while watching
this effects-laden video.
///
**#4 Tomorrow's World -- So Long My Love**, directed by James D. Kelly
**Jean-Benoît Dunckel** is one-half of both **Air** and **Tomorrow's
World**. This track "So Long My Love" comes courtesy of the latter
group; dark, 50s via 80s retro styling meets effortless modernity---a
stunning piece of work.
///
**#5 WEARE18 -- Call Me Maybe**
Nice edit by **WEARE18** ([Boyfriend][2] and Jorge). *Tune.*
///
**#6 Vitalic -- Stamina**, directed by Saman Keshavarz
France's **Vitalic** has been quiet for some time now. Luckily he has a
new album *Rave Age* out November 5. Here's a new, tasty video to go
along with it.
///
**#7 Mykki Blanco -- Haze.Boogie.Life**, directed by Danny Sangra
Ok, ok, I'm not trying to be on some fanboy trip but here's Mykki's
follow-up video to "Wavvy" which keeps the momentum raging on.
///
**#8 The xx -- Chained**, directed by Young Replicant
*I ask you one last time /// Did I hold you too tight /// Did I not let
enough light in*
///
**#9 ON AN ON -- Ghosts**, directed by by Joe Carsello
**ON AN ON** is the band that sprung forth from **Scattered
Trees** after the departure of two of their members earlier this year.
Their debut album *Give In* will be released on January 29th via **Roll
Call Records**. "Ghost" is the first single from this album.
///
**#10 SWW -- **Your Silence Is Killing Me,**** directed by Gabriel
Henrique Gonzalez
Londoner SWW aka **Sarah Williams White** has just
released her splendid new single, "Your Silence is Killing Me". The
track is a dark, soulful delight that would be perfect at 2am,
accompanied by some whiskey burning down your throat.
