Ebony unleashes her alter ego in Sinclair's sleek visual for the French singer.Shot in Paris, the upbeat, stylised video for RAGE takes place in two contrasting worlds, each reflecting a different side of Ebony’s personality.The concept was developed by the singer, where the video becomes a representation of her artistic liberation, and Ebony’s performance is a powerful blend of power, emotion, and unapologetic self-expression. Within the dark, monochromatic alternate world we meet Ebony’s alter ego, a mesmerizing, commanding presence: Queen Sheba. She refuses to be contained, transforming anger and intensity into movement, energy, and sheer presence.Through Sinclair’s direction, the video strikes a perfect balance between sleek, editorial visuals and a deeply emotive visual language. The result is intense and captivating.

Roger Spy completes his trilogy of irreverent music videos for singer-songwriter Jessica Winter.Shot in a coalmining town in Wales, the video for Big Star finds the artist strutting around the streets in a wonderful vintage outfit, as onlookers watch on in awe. Interwoven with intimate performance vignettes, it's a simple yet absorbing concept, and a perfect end to the video series.

Grajper directs a moonlit, surrealist fantasy for The Last Dinner Party. The video for Count The Ways finds the group in the middle of a model village, performing as a montage of illusory vignettes play out on screen. Imbued with unearthly, liminal vibes, it's a striking concept and one that fits perfectly within the offbeat videography the group has built over the last couple of years. Everything is familiar, but [the world] is too small, too artificial, too perfect."The heart of the song is about love, heartbreak, and the refusal to accept that something beautiful has ended," Grajper explains. "It’s about being trapped in grief, circling around loss, and being unable to move forward."For TLDP, that emotional space feels like being locked in a prison that is invisible yet everywhere, a cage built out of memories and feelings. That’s why the miniature park is such a powerful starting point. It’s a world that is at once charming and eerie. Everything is familiar, but it’s too small, too artificial, too perfect."When we place our heroine in this world she instantly becomes estranged from it: she is either too large for the space, breaking out of it, or she’s wandering through its streets like a ghost who doesn’t belong."

Tom Clover directs a gritty urban horror for UKMVA-nominated Irish DJ and producer Kettama, with Dudley O’Shaughnessy as a disturbed young man, with something very strange in the plastic bag he's carrying.The video for Man With a Second Face follows the young man as he roams London streets at night with the bag and its unknown, but clearly sentient contents, causing him growing problems. As the bag’s power intensifies, tension builds, resulting in a night of reckoning and pain - and the end sequence is genuinely shocking.With a cameo from Kettama himself, Clover has created a powerful visualisation of the producer's highly intense brand of techno.

Bedroom direct an evocative performance promo for Chloe Qisha. The video for So Sad So Hot is a stripped-back, studio-based visual, with Qisha and a team of dancers performing breathless choreography under coruscating lights. Sexy, sweaty and slick, it's another brilliant collaboration between the directors and artist, which will leave viewers waiting for more. Great work.
