VidZone update: New clips from Sia, The Prodigy, Fall Out Boy, more

So January is well underway and freezing our collective socks off… depending on which side of the hemisphere you’re on! But despite the chilly reception 2015 has given us, there’s no shortage of hot new music videos swinging your way this month. From Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars kicking off what’s become the Official ‘Year of the Funk’ to Fall Out Boy’s return and Sia causing a stir with an emotional dance-off in her moving new video. So there’s a decent bunch of visual goodies to get excited about this week on VidZone.

Read on for all the info and watch the latest Highlights trailer above to see what else is noteworthy!

Artist of the Week: Mark Ronson

The last time we saw the award-winning producer and musician was when he released a track to promote the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. And now just over two years later, Mark Ronson is riding the comeback wave with the biggest single of his career so far. ‘Uptown Funk’ which features Bruno Mars has become a global phenomenon having topped the charts in numerous countries.

VidZone has made Mr. Ronson this week’s Artist Of The Week so you can watch the funkiest video around right now as well as all of his past hits including ‘Bang Bang Bang’ (as Mark Ronson & The Business Intl.) and classic videos such as ‘Valerie’ with the late, great Amy Winehouse.

Dance Zone

Fans have been waiting almost six years for new music from British electronic trio The Prodigy and their wish has finally come true in 2015. New track ‘Nasty’ is the first single to be released from their forthcoming album, The Day Is My Enemy which is out in March. The animated music video which features a fox fleeing from a group of hunters is typical of the UK icons – visceral and clever. So be sure to watch it now in their Artist Spotlight playlist!

Pop Zone

Australian singer Sia has written songs for everyone from the likes of Jessie J, Eminem and Maroon 5. And yet she didn’t receive the recognition she deserved until the release of her massive solo hit ‘Chandelier’ last year. The music video featuring young dancer, Maddie Ziegler became a worldwide sensation and 2015 has seen her reprise the role in the new video for ‘Elastic Heart’. Watch the remarkable performance now to see Maddie dance alongside Hollywood movie star Shia LaBeouf in a cage match of warring emotions.
