Kitt Sullivan and&nbsp;Jamie Benyon direct an artistic dance film for&nbsp;Anna Demetriou.Sharing an empty industrial space, we see Anna and two dancers perform in a high-contrast, black and white vignette.Coruscating lights and gentle camera movement create an ethereal, illusory feeling, that matches the introspective mood of the track.

Razorlight are back with their original lineup, and a charming comeback video from&nbsp;Lauren Rothery.&nbsp;Written by vocalist&nbsp;Johnny Borrell and&nbsp;Lauren Rothery, the video follows a major label regrouping of the band, and the anxieties&nbsp;real-life manager Roger Morton and a label exec have about&nbsp;potential problems on the horizon.Shot on 8mm in London, the video has an old-school documentary feel, intercutting performance footage with narrative vignettes, which blend to form a captivating study of character, career and what success means to different people.&nbsp;Punctuated with comedic moments&nbsp;and&nbsp;cameos, it's an intriguing&nbsp;way to re-introduce the group, and feels as timeless as the music itself.&nbsp;

Douglas Hart and Steve Mackey - the former Pulp bassist-turned director -&nbsp;direct a grungy promo for Hot Chip's return with Down.&nbsp;The video is a lo-fi&nbsp;affair, blending gritty textures, abstract imagery and distorted layers of oversaturated footage.&nbsp;Paying homage to early music video experimentation, the compelling performances are contrasted against unusual, seemingly unrelated vignettes, which seem more inspired by the industrial beat than any lyrical content. It's all brought together in a terrific, kinetically-driven edit by Thomas Goldser.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Hot Chip 'Down' by Douglas Hart, Steve Mackey

Hold on to your horses as two disco divas unite on the dancefloor - via&nbsp;the magic of music video - as Kylie gets together with none other than Gloria Gaynor, of I Will Survive fame, in Sophie Muller's dazzling video for Can't Stop Writing Songs About You.&nbsp;On a glittering runway, it's vintage disco vibes as we see Kylie and her crew strut their stuff under scintillating lights, with a lo-fi aesthetic that looks ripped straight from the clubkid era.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Gaynor appears in a separate performance vignette, backdropped by the night sky and overlaid with hypnotising effects and soft pastel silhouettes - which feels reminiscent of another iconic Muller video, for <a href="https://youtu.be/kRpZJ9EgJho?t=120">No Doubt's Simple Kind Of Life.&nbsp;</a>And&nbsp;its&nbsp;art directed by her longtime collaborator, production designer Alison Dominitz.&nbsp;&nbsp;Once again Sophie has also teamed&nbsp;with Theo Adams, whose company of performers provides&nbsp;Kylie's world with that extra pinch of pizzazz, and the result is&nbsp;a powerhouse visual for an irresistable track, pairing&nbsp;very nicely with previous Muller-Minogue videos for her other collabs on the new version of her&nbsp;Disco album - with Olly of Years &amp; Years on <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/10/12/kylie-and-years-years-second-midnight%E2%80%99-sophie-muller/73271" target="_blank">A Second To Midnight</a>, and with Jessie Ware on <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/11/18/kylie-minogue-jessie-ware-kiss-life-sophie-muller/73851">the telenovela-style Kiss Of Life.</a>&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]

Ben Cole &amp; Odunsi (The Engine) direct a&nbsp;trippy promo for Half A Tab.&nbsp;Running at eight minutes in length, the short film opens with a group of friends getting ready to go out, and quickly culminates in a surreal night out full of futuristic fashion and chromatic visual effects.&nbsp;Taking place in an abstract, almost parallel world, the video has a haunting, unique vibe, and perfectly suits the Alté soundtrack.&nbsp;

Iconic pop video director Diane Martel joins forces with Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos&nbsp;and Ben Cole to create the video for Billy Goodbye - taken from the Scottish rock band's forthcoming Greatest Hits album.&nbsp;The black and white concept feels&nbsp;experimental and evocative of early music videos, focusing on a group of characters who descend into a riotous party, full of bottle smashing, karaoke singalongs and melodramatic facial expressions.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Glitchy performance setups, mixed formats&nbsp;and spliced cutaways add a textural element to the concept, aesthetically feeling very much like&nbsp;home-movie segments.The randomness of the content and iconography in several of these scenes also elevates the absurdist nature of the piece.&nbsp;

LA-based creative studio&nbsp;Actual Objects&nbsp;direct a warped portrait of Sega Bodega for his new single, I Need Nothing From You.&nbsp;What starts as a close-up on the artist's face soon glitches, twitches and loses its proportions, as Bodega distorts in real time, morphing from human to something ripped straight from the uncanny valley.&nbsp;Remotely directed from LA, the understated concept lingers far beyond its runtime, unconsciously committing&nbsp;itself to memory&nbsp;ready to reappear as a nightmare somewhere down the line.&nbsp;

Sophie Muller directs the glistening&nbsp;performance video for Kylie’s A Second to Midnight,&nbsp;featuring Years &amp; Years - aka Olly Alexander - and some 'wait, what...?' moments of role-reversal between the two performers.Shot in London's historic Collins' Music Hall, the concept sees the leopard print-clad duo dance around under a spotlight, briefly switching roles - with the clever application of 'hair swap'&nbsp;technology&nbsp;- while the accompanying dancers also 'become' Kylie and Ollie with their use of face masks.&nbsp;&nbsp;Muller collaborated with Theo Adams, in the role of&nbsp;performance director&nbsp;on the song-and-dance routine executed by the pop stars. The results&nbsp;exudes that sense of pure joy that is the hallmark of any great Kylie video, and a complete&nbsp;delight to watch.PRETTYBIRD UK co-founder Juliette Larthe says:&nbsp;"The insanely wonderful pairing of the maverick alchemists of vision and movement, the geniuses&nbsp;of vespertine delights - Sophie Muller and Theo Adams - repeatedly inculcate the aureate of their crafts individually, and now together for the first time with Kylie and Olly. The result is epic-ness of the most MAJORNESS and we utterly love it."

Wowa directs an impressive live performance by Ms Banks for the MOBO Awards, broadcast late last year.&nbsp;Opening in a pastel-hued shop set, four dancers perform fiery choreography as Banks steps into frame, styled head to toe in bubblegum pink.&nbsp;The production design is equally&nbsp;as breathtaking as the performance, which cuts to black before displaying a poignant message: 'They Don't Really Care About Us'.&nbsp;Honouring the Black Lives Matter movement and paying tribute to YouTube star and content creator Nicole Thea - who passed away suddenly last year whilst pregnant with son Reign - the concept switches to an all-black studio set, where Banks gives a career-defining performance - powerful, engaging and truly emotive.&nbsp;Performances like this don't come around all too often, and Wowa has created something truly transcendent and elevated with the visual.&nbsp;

Wowa takes us back&nbsp;in time with a 90's style RnB&nbsp;promo for Esther.&nbsp;With the 90's aesthetic being all the rage right now, it's easy to forget some of the more subtle stylistic elements that were&nbsp;used back in the day. Sure, there was gloss and excess all around, but the idea of stylised, non-narrative vignettes that don't make a huge amount of sense (but look super cool) has been slightly lost to&nbsp;time.&nbsp;For example, when was the last time you saw&nbsp;an artist and a mysterious male&nbsp;model standing in the rain looking gloomy? If you can't remember, don't fret - Wowa and Esther deliver in the promo for Pourin.&nbsp;The video intercuts various performance setups with plenty of glamorous poses and striking cinematography - care of DoP&nbsp;Gaul Porat - which perfectly encapsulates the mood and tone of the track.&nbsp;Steadily climbing in views on YouTube via some strategic advertising, Esther is most definitely an artist to keep a close eye on.
