American pop rockers Thirty Seconds To Mars are back with the irresistibly buoyant, EDM-flavoured dance-floor banger 'Stuck'.
The group's first new music in five years, 'Stuck' is a precursor to the next TSTM studio album 'It's The End Of The World But It's A Beautiful Day' that's slated for release in September.Fronted by Jared Leto, who's joined by brother Shannon Leto, TSTM have released five studio albums to date since their self-titled release in 2002.
The music video for 'Stuck' was directed by Jared – who recently starred at The Met Gala dressed as Karl Lagerfeld's beloved cat, Choupette – that celebrates the human form, minimalist design, high fashion, art and dance that was inspired by his favourite fashion photographers.
"Thanks to my incredibly creative mother, my brother and I were instilled with a love for art and photography from a very young age," Jared says.
"The video for 'Stuck' is a love letter to some of my favourite photographers. Artists who made a very deep impact on me like Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Robert Mapplethorpe, Diane Arbus, Herb Ritts and more.
"Artists whose work changed the way I saw things and showed me new possibilities at every turn.
"The video for 'Stuck' is very much a companion piece and a continuation of a journey started with [2013 single] 'Up In The Air', a celebration of art, design, fashion, and the remarkable people who bring them to life.
"It is a love letter to the power of movement and connection, a testament to the awe-inspiring potential of people who don't necessarily fit so neatly in – but make the world so much more fascinating.
"I would like to express my immense gratitude to everyone involved. From the incredibly talented artists and designers to the behind-the-scenes team. All who worked so hard to make it all possible.
"Your contributions have made this experience an absolutely unforgettable adventure and helped to capture and celebrate the essence of what makes us all unique and exceptional."
