Dexter Navy presents how Sampha is touched with a special kind of magic in the video for Only.The acclaimed singer-songwriter begins bending reality when&nbsp;he studies a book titled LAHAI - the name of his forthcoming, long-awaited second album - and then ponders his reflection. When he ventures into the outside world he finds himself capable of all kinds of otherworldly powers, sometimes struggling to control them.A number of magical moments arrive in an understated fashion - which seems a perfectly pitched visual metaphor for Sampha's talent. And it makes it more impressive with every viewing.

Nizar Shad directs an upbeat promo for&nbsp;Prinz, Rushwan and Jermaine Edwards.The story of Beautiful Day starts back in 2014, when singer-songwriter Edwards debuted the track in Jamaica. In 2017, ten-year-old&nbsp;Rushawn Ewears was captured singing it by his teacher at school, and after being shared&nbsp;on social media over&nbsp;the next few years, it has recently gained huge popularity on TikTok, leading to this collaboration.&nbsp;The magical journey of the track is complimented by a cheery, optimistic video, which features Prinz performing in and around a church, intercut with footage of Ewears' original school video.&nbsp;Bright and optimistic, it's a great little project that exudes a joyous energy.&nbsp;

Roisino directs a moody, dance-based&nbsp;interpretation of the classic Satani occult film for Lowes.The video for Late Night Visions takes us on the narrative journey of the band's lead singer Evie, who wakes up in a disorientated setting, before happening across the remnants of an occult ritual."With a clear dystopian aesthetic referencing Wiccan and Druid influences; we explored these themes through the use of key symbolism of lines, the Lowe's logo and colour theory," explains Roisino.&nbsp;"As Evie encounters these symbols we flashback to Evie in a ritual setting surrounded by occult members and Lowe's members James and Luca, as the leaders."The ritual is portrayed with a twist on the classic Satanic style; incorporating these subjects as contemporary dancers with symbiotic group movements and expressive freestyles."With previous experience as&nbsp;a dancer, Roisino says&nbsp;it was exciting to create a video with such strong themes of flashback and ritual, in combination with evocative contemporary movements from talented dancers. "An aesthetic and stylised music video that feels like a movie, whilst making you invested in the emotive intention of the song is a true representation of my director's style."

Having worked together on a Little Dragon video last year, Jack Whiteley and Joe Wills have formed a new directing partnership as Dreamjob, launching the team with the off-the-wall video for Flyte's I've Got A Girl.These purveyors of peerless indie-pop have a new beauty in I've Got A Girl, visualised in a strange brew of symbolic imagery which has the band fitted into a showbiz version of medieval stocks, drenched in blood-red juice, and tormented by a trio of mysterious&nbsp;characters - their chief tormentor played with wild-eyed gusto by Tina Malone, from Shameless.Only briefly are Flyte able to&nbsp;break out of their confinement to perform the song - then it's back to the stocks. What can it all mean? Dreamjob are not giving too much away, describing it simply as "an ode to love lost, irrelevance and new beginnings". The rest is very much open to interpretation.

Oscar Ryan's video for Irish punk outfit The Clockworks is an energetic, engaging and slightly abstract version&nbsp;on the one-shot video: four different one-takes shot in&nbsp;four different locations, all presented on screen at once.Ryan places bandmembers in three of the four distinct locations,&nbsp;performing the urgent Enough Is Never Enough - but then he plays his ace, and toys with viewer's perceptions, with a simple but effective device involving&nbsp;frontman James McGregor.&nbsp;

James Slater directs a breezy, spooky, tongue-in-cheek promo for Wigan band The Lathums.&nbsp;Centring around a performance in a&nbsp;living room somewhere in Northern England (probably Wigan), the video for I See Your Ghost takes a ghoulish turn early on, where various props and disembodied heads take flight and float around the space. And memorably,&nbsp;lead singer Alex Moore's head&nbsp;becomes the centrepiece of a salad. Ooh er.The spooky inspiration doesn't stop there, with the lads&nbsp;dressing up as ghosts and tearing around the town on skateboards. With Halloween just around the corner - and not being able to do the usual stuff this year -&nbsp;it's a timely release, and refreshingly British take on ghosts and ghouls.&nbsp;

Molly Burdett’s second collaboration with Glaswegian soul singer Joesef celebrates the freedom and energy of youth, and the infectious power of dancing like no one is watching.The video focusses upon a working class community, life in a social club, and a sense of wellbeing and confidence of a young boy within that setting, to go off to dance on his own in the indoor bowling area. And that inspires Joesef and his mates to follow his lead, and chance their arm at some impromptu dancing.Burdett dovetails the documentary look with a bit of heartstring-tugging entertainment - shot on 35mm film by Miles Ridgeway. No wonder she describes the style as "Billy Elliot meets Andrea Arnold."

Legendary music video director Vaughan Arnell brings his absolute A-game to this collaboration between Sam Smith and future R&amp;B pop queen Normani. It&#39;s a very classy, beautifully-crafted belter of a video.Reflecting the sultry melancholy and brooding sexuality of the song Dancing With A Stranger, solitary Sam Smith is joined in his super modern house in the wintry countryside by ghosts - or holograms who come alive within and around him. It&#39;s a very Arnell-esque way to introduce the dancers that haunt Smith, evoking the classic Fastlove video for George Michael he directed with Anthea Benton in the mid-90s.And then comes the explosively sexy Normani, whose combination of vocals and dance add a new dimension to the song and the video. You can&#39;t take your eyes off her. And although they never meet - appropriately considering the song - the production makes the two performers dovetail together perfectly. There&#39;s great work here by a whole team of people - including DoP Will Bex and Arnell&#39;s regular editor David Webb. A real treat.&nbsp;
