The video looks simple enough. There are no super ideas, but it's done professionally.

I love 'Dancing Star', but I agree... it feels like it ends too quickly and could probably be 30 seconds longer.

Worst single in a loong time. Didn't really like "Loneliness" either. The melodies are so dull and non catchy. And "If Jesus had a sister" goes directly on the list of worst songs they've ever produced. Hopefully there's still some good stuff to come on the album...

I love "Through You" on the Loneliness single though.

Very simple video.

Of course, this time matches with the topic of the song but another video using the body of men like basic issue. A huge lack of ideas and budget.

Love the new video. Best video for me in quite some time. Stylish, tasteful, on point and even (dare I say it) "cool". Well done!

Perfect video, and great to see them being less self-conscious and getting back inside their own videos again!

Love the video - It is on topic of the song, great to see Neil and Chris - did he smile for just a bit?

The video reminds me a bit about Domino Dancing - same method and style.

I guess Neil and Chris have gone to the core of what PSB is in terms of Music, style, design and methods. I obviously love that - new music yet core PSB. 10/10 all together - im happy!

Video is nice, straightforward and kinda works well.

I've been trying to like the song, but I'm struggling with the first few lines of the first verse lyrics: in my opinion it really sounds clumsy and doesn't fit the tune. Which gets the song off to a confusing start. I suspect I'd like an instrumental version, cos I really like the actual music!

I can't tell if this is a joke but he was a BALLET DANCER. Of course the topic of the video will be his body and its movement, that's what he's known for. You can critique the lack of ideas, budget, lyrics, whatever you want really... BUT "USING THE BODY OF MEN LIKE BASIC ISSUE"? I'm sorry but that's not a critique, that's ignorance and a bit of internalized homophobia.

Thank you. Don't know what’s going on in her mind. 🤦🏼‍♂️

I'm curious if they'll do any promotion for Nonetheless on programmes like The One Show and Jonathan Ross etc..? Would be good to see a TV performance of Dancing Star or Loneliness, for example..
