Erik He creates a smooth and thrilling visual for Hong Kong and LA-based singer-songwriter Jasmin Yen.Shot on location in Stockholm, the video for SWEATR is an intimate yet electrifying experience. Set entirely indoors against stark, atmospheric backdrops, it places the spotlight squarely on Jasmine - her raw physicality and emotional intensity."Lady Gaga inspired both the song and its visuals," says Jasmine. I wanted to channel that boldness, drama, and authenticity, the freedom of getting lost in the music. "Sweat" lives in that juxtaposition: raw and gritty, yet poised and intentional."And He says he wanted to capture the spirit of the golden era of pop music videos, drawing inspiration from Gaga and Britney Spears."Shot on an old MiniDV camera for its distinctive visual texture, the video embraces theatrical, in-your-face choreography, bold styling and extravagant set design," he says. "While the visual language leans into nostalgia, I wanted the editing to feel distinctly contemporary, using quick cuts, match cuts, and dynamic pacing to build momentum without relying on a traditional narrative."Set design and styling have always been an important part of my creative process, so this was an opportunity to really push those elements, especially as their team was quite open to ideas. I loved the idea of bringing together exaggerated silhouettes and elaborate sets all within the otherwise unexpected, everyday location of a badminton court where I play regularly."

Pop singer-songwriter ADOM self-directs the expansive and yearning promo for The Unknown. The video explores memories of the artist - people he misses, places he can't go back to, and the pull of what comes next.Evocative and matching the themes of ADOM's 12-song, 12-film visual album House Of Memories, it's a promising introduction.

Tom Hardiman brings some welcome colour and pizzazz to some of the most mundane (and downright grim) places that Britain has to offer, in the guise of the irrepressible Viktor Viktoria and unstoppable A Man To Pet. Drag artiste A Man To Pet's iconic Christmas shows at the Love Affair Basement have become the festive season's must-see show in recent years - attended by none other than Jean-Paul Gaultier himself. And that same brand of unique chaotic drag madness finds its way to the big screen, with Pet accompanied by partner-in-crime Viktor Victoria.The video for I Love To Wear (Jean Paul Gaultier) is a fun-filled, bizarro journey through garden centres, recycling plants, farms, gyms and long-lost theatres, as Viktor and Pet evangelise their love for the one and only Gaultier.Working with the costume designer Lucy James, Tom, Pet and Viktor have now created a series of looks that reference legendary Gaultier outfits throughout the video. But with the additional air of homemade chic – from the toilet paper headdress in A/W 1992’s Europe of the Future to Gaultier’s first orange cone bra shown in his A/W 1984 Barbès collection. It's an utterly incongruous clash of artists and location that works brilliantly. A must-watch to brighten the mood as the nights start drawing in.

Labi Odebunmi directs a very cool and cinematic promo for this first-time team-up of two big Nigerian artists, BNXN and Asake.The video for Eja Meja (meaning '2 fishes', an idiom in Nigeria referring to a person who is successful) features a mix of performance and snapshots of narrative, cutting between a bar and lingering shots in the back of a car. "Given the sonics and aura, I wanted to create something effortless yet cinematic with quiet-luxury wealth undertones," explains Odebunmi. "Asake also wanted something smooth which was great as I really didn’t want the visuals to overpower the fable elements."I decided to set [the video] in a Coppola/Scorsese La Cosa Nostra syndicate world where they would be able to easily tell their story gems with audience-focussed attention."A sit-down meeting & toast to life with both artists at the helm - literally and metaphorically. I liked furthering this tone with BNXN being chauffeured through an affluent neighbourhood in a very rare vintage Mercedes Benz that actual past global heads-of-states & royalty were carried in. Little trivia also the same car they used in The Last King of Scotland."
