Lionet’s “Take A Chance” Music Video Spins Pop into an Absurd Love Story

In a surreal galactic fever dream, the pop provocateur taps into the divine and the deranged — exploring the feminine and masculine in a campy cosmic dance.

The world of “Take A Chance” drops us straight into a glittering cosmic fantasy — lo-fi surrealist nightclub that feels both divine and debauched. It’s referential, tongue-in-cheek, and deliciously John Waters-esque: campy, cinematic, and self-aware enough to make you question whether she’s parodying pop — or perfecting it.

Lionet is a pop provocateur, an artist who turns vulnerability into spectacle and spectacle into satire. Her debut single, co-written and produced by Brandon Bost (Dua Lipa, Lorde, Taylor Swift), is a sleek, hypnotic anthem about risk — the kind that says why not? and pulls you in for a kiss.

The video, co-directed by Lionet and her sibling, artist David-Simon Dayan, elevates that tension into full-blown pop surrealism. Dayan — whose film and photographic work has been featured in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Brooklyn Film Festival, and in Vogue, Nylon, and Paper — brings a visual vocabulary that’s as lush as it is subversive. Their combined lens captures both the camp and the ache beneath the glitter, giving “Take A Chance” its cinematic backbone.

Choreography by Kevin Stea, the legendary dancer and assistant choreographer to Madonna’s Blonde Ambition Tour, infuses the piece with movement that struts between irony and desire. In the video, Lionet and Hex (also played by Lionet) embody two extremes of the same self — the powerful feminine and the grotesque masculine — locked in a glitter-soaked pas de deux of seduction and confrontation. Their mirrored frames are absurd and humorous, swinging between divine and pathetic. And when Brett Gelman (Stranger Things, Fleabag) drops in for a perfectly deranged cameo as her monstrous pet lobster, the fever dream tips into pop mythology.

Every glance, every movement lands with intent. “Take A Chance” isn’t just a debut — it’s a drag show of the self, gorgeous and grotesque in equal measure; a wink, a tease, and an open door to her glittering, fractured world — the first glimpse of a debut album set to arrive in 2026.
