Take That takes a look out the window

Take That have returned after a five year hiatus with an original composition Windows which will feature on their ninth studio album This Life.

 It was up to Missing Link Films director Ben Tricklebank to bring the lads' music to life with a striking new music video for the single.

Tricklebank brings fragmented and cinematic imagery to the piece which depicts the song's reflective lyrics, and beautiful soulful nuance to their performances. Particularly of Gary Barlow in the opening scene, you can almost forget it’s ‘Gary from Take That’ with his visual delivery totally moving in its reflective and emotional performance. Then there is a giggle out loud moment when you see Howard lifting weights..

Here’s what Tricklebank had to say about working on the project: “Universal sent out a really interesting brief that was centered around a technique of connecting moments through windows within each scene. Then I listened to the song, and was immediately drawn in by it. It sounded so different to anything I’d heard from Take That in the past that it needed a music video unlike anything they’ve done before. It also captured a beautiful balance of melancholy and hope that really spoke to me.”
