Josh Thornton-Allan directs an strikingly art directed performance&nbsp;promo for James Bay's Give Me The Reason.&nbsp;Effortlessly elegant, the video centres on Bay's emotional performance of the song, further elevated by impressive art direction and inspired lighting.The emblematic backdrop of a glowing orange sun provides a canvas for some striking silhouettes, and matches the emotive thematic elements in the lyrics.“I was really interested in the work of Olafur Eliasson, an artist who uses large scale light constructions in his work - particularly monochromatic light,” explains Thornton-Allan. “This seemed like a really unique way to explore the shifting emotionality of a dying relationship."We approached the lighting from a purely practical position, creating a monochromatic lighting setup with our giant sun and then during the chorus filling James with colour using regular, chromatic spotlights.”&nbsp;It is a perfect example of simplicity done right, and a promising comeback for the singer-songwriter, in anticipation of his third studio album.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Bailey Tom Bailey explores an obscure&nbsp;underground gambling ring in his promo for Folly Group.&nbsp;The video for&nbsp;I Raise You (The Price Of Your Head) starts normally enough - with a simple performance in a gloomy garage - but when two of the band members decapitate the other pair, things start to go South.The two heads are pitted against each other, forced bite and fight their way out of the situation, until the tables are turned.&nbsp;With a deadpan vibe and hilarious performances, the video is an amusing yet&nbsp;absurd&nbsp;way to spend four minutes - and the music is pretty damn good too.&nbsp;

Spencer Young creates a rich display of vivid images to symbolise positive messages of joy, aspiration and strength in Obongjayar's Try.&nbsp;The director, who has recently signed to Hello Love, has created a series of portraits&nbsp;of the London-based Nigerian&nbsp;singer-songwriter for the first release from his upcoming debut album.&nbsp;Some of the most striking imagery shows Obongjayar and his brightly, regally dressed&nbsp;dancers standing still and strong - as if in defiance of Young's backdrop of evocative, billowing skies.In contrast to a sense of imposing majesty, drive and ambition that is evoked in those moving still life portraits is the innocence of a young boy who observes Obangjayar&nbsp;on his TV. The boy provides the emotional heart of the video, dancing alone in a moving representation of joy, and then transported into the regal zone.From a man waiting alone in the wings for a curtain call, to a young boy peeking out from behind the net curtains, the video touches on themes of isolation and perseverance as Obongjayar sings 'It's no guarantee our lives will change, but all we do is try'.&nbsp;

Dave Bullivant directs a profound promo for London Grammar's America.&nbsp;The video opens with London Grammar vocalist&nbsp;Hannah Reid sat at the counter of an American-style diner, as the camera begins to pan left and right.&nbsp;The track kicks in, and apparitions of everyday activity appear in the revealing camera movements. As the haunting hustle and bustle unravel in slow motion, the focus stays on Reid's performance, creating a contrasting, stylistic aesthetic.&nbsp;Beautifully shot by DoP&nbsp;Jaime Ackroyd and produced by Joseph J. Goldman, the video is a&nbsp;tour de force&nbsp;of creativity, and a great addition to the body of work by Bullivant for London Grammar.&nbsp;

Sophie Jones directs a visual feast for Amber-Simone's Black, No Sugar.&nbsp;Taking its name from the artist's upcoming EP, this video is the first of two live performance promos, with the second part arriving later this year, alongside her next single.&nbsp;A celebration of her Black heritage, Amber-Simone has written a song she believes&nbsp;she needed to hear when she was younger - an anthem for those questioning their validity or beauty.&nbsp;The cinematography takes its cue from the music, the camera darting and swirling one minute, before settling on a still moment in anticipation of ramping back up again. This unexpected and raw movement leans into the authentic nature of the track, and the idea of creating art that might not conform to everyone's expectations, but is true to your own journey.[imgtoken data:1]“With this project, I wanted to take the opportunity to reintroduce myself and show what I’m all about," explains Amber-Simone.&nbsp;"Between now and my last EP a lot has happened and I feel the truest to myself I’ve ever been. Creating this visual and releasing Black, No Sugar feels like I’m finally stepping out into my womanhood and art, creating music that really matters to me."When it came to the video, meeting Sophie and feeling as though she really saw what I was seeing felt like such a breakthrough. We talked and she just got me straight away. So it’s been such a pleasure to have created this piece with another woman who’s such a force."I feel like I chose the most authentic way to communicate this song to people. Real instrumentation and playing was ultimately what inspired the writing process and what inspired me down this path in the first place. The video combines the perfect balance of an aesthetic I feel really captures my essence and music in its rawest form – live.”

Kojaque and Spencer Young direct a shadowy promo for Casio.&nbsp;Journeying through personal stages of reflection and the restrictions of identity, the video depicts Kojaque and a group of friends - including featured artist Maverick Sabre - wandering through a desolate industrial landscape, accompanied by a glowing figure - Kojaque's ghost-like alter-ego.&nbsp;&nbsp;It's an eerie yet poignant concept, and is remarkably dreamlike in its aesthetic. The use of gritty textures and a monochromatic colour palette enhances the surrealist vibes of the project.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Rob Akin directs a&nbsp;melancholic&nbsp;portrait of stifling loneliness&nbsp;within a marriage, in his video for Jorja Smith's Home.&nbsp;The concept of 'home'&nbsp;can mean different things to different people - for some, it's a physical location, for others, it's a feeling of warmth and safety within a relationship.&nbsp;In the video, Akin explores&nbsp;emotional disconnection between a woman and her husband. On the outside, it seems they have it all - a beautiful home, a happy child and a lavish lifestyle. But beneath the surface, deep cracks are forming, and Smith bears witness to the turmoil, in her role as a Nanny within the family dynamic.&nbsp;It's a poignant emotional rollercoaster, with Akin's subtle direction emphasising the role of the unhappy wife, played by&nbsp;Kattreya Smith. Jorja Smith - who was the&nbsp;creative director on the project - also does a top-notch job with her supporting role, flexing her acting chops in an inspired yet naturalistic manner.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Fox-hunting is reimagined as a dystopian game targeting society's outcasts in James Green's&nbsp;thoroughly entertaining video for Kid Kapichi.&nbsp;Picked on by pompous locals as "thugs", the band,&nbsp;dressed in orange bomber jackets and jeans, are then targeted by the local hunt. And one of them ends up as the captive of the demented lord of the manor - played by Steve Furst.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jamesgreenfilm.com/" target="_blank">James Green</a> strikes a tone of broad&nbsp;comedy, dressed in&nbsp;a&nbsp;retro, B-Movie aesthetic. But there is a political edge that&nbsp;nails the political zeitgeist in modern Britain. It's about the&nbsp;divide between rich and poor, old and young, and the rising tide of closed minds and bigotry. But as it turns out, help is at hand...&nbsp;Action-packed, well performed and with a very satisfying conclusion, the concept brings Kid Kapichi's rallying-cry&nbsp;lyrics to life, and demands to&nbsp;be watched multiple times.That&nbsp;is especially&nbsp;impressive, as Green says: "We pulled this video together in record time with a low budget, shooting on the British coast during Storm Ciara. What perfect timing."&nbsp;&nbsp;
