Elton John & Britney Spears Share Colorful ‘Hold Me Closer’ Video

Elton John and Britney Spears recently released a music video for their collaboration “Hold Me Closer.”

John and Spears do not make an appearance in the Tanu Muino-directed video. Several dancers are seen performing their movements against the vibrant, colorful backdrop of Mexico City.

“This was an emotional one for me as I grew up with Britney. After seeing ‘Slave For You,’ I decided that I wanted to become a video director. Elton John is an icon that I and the world grew up listening to,” Muino said in a statement.

“Going into this video, I knew there would be a lot of emotional expectations the audience and fans would have. With this responsibility, I had to do something different and unexpected. The visuals had to be different. The dance had to be forward-thinking to raise eyebrows and make Elton and Britney proud,” she added.

Muino continued, “To capture this magic, we shot around all my favorite architectural locations in Mexico City and brought on choreographer Jacob Jonas who does the best contemporary choreography today. Getting the best dancers, crew and access to some of the most private locations in the world was simple as everyone wanted to work with Elton John and be part of his legacy.”

John shared a snippet of the video on Instagram, saying, “Check out the stunning dance video for ‘Hold Me Closer’, shot in Mexico City by the award-winning director @tanumuino beautifully capturing an immeasurable feeling of intimacy so missing from the world through the turmoil and chaos of recent times.”
