Dua Lipa has released the music video for “Training Season,” directed by Vincent Haycock and produced by Somesuch.
“Training Season” arrives as the second single from Lipa’s forthcoming third studio album and was made with Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, Caroline Ailin, Danny L Harle, and Tobias Jesso Jr.
The video opens with Lipa’s voicemail flooded with apologies and requests for second chances, continuing with clips of the singer sitting alone in a cafe as men compete for her attention as the room begins to spin into a dizzying, chaotic scene.
Haycock’s distinctive vivid style is reflected throughout the video, with the creative forming a commentary on the rigors of dating.
Lipa explained: “I had been on a string of bad dates, and the last one was the final straw. The next morning I arrived to the studio to Caroline (Ailin) and Tobias (Jesso Jr) asking me how it all went and I immediately declared “Training Season Is Over.”

Johnnie Walker wraps up the year with an inspiring campaign that is a direct and bold response to those who would question the strength of women. Created by AlmapBBDO in São Paulo, Brazil, this anthem film--“Forte São Elas” (“Strong are the Women”) starring actress Alice Braga--references one of the most iconic productions in the brand’s history worldwide:”The Man Who Walked Around The World.”
Produced by Surreal Hotel Arts, directed by Lu Villaça, and featuring an original soundtrack by Cabaret Studio, “Forte São Elas” shows Braga walking as she describes how strength plays an essential role in the daily life of every woman. Whether facing stereotypes or countless other barriers, women are the masters of their own choices and stay true to their journeys.
“The campaign recognizes the emotional strength and resilience of every woman who faces and overcomes obstacles every day, and boldly challenges outdated stereotypes. And when they say that whisky is too strong for women, we will tell them: it’s the women who are strong,” said Andrea Rubim, head of marketing for Johnnie Walker.
