Sam Smith reunites with Luke Monaghan in a triumphant comeback for&nbsp;Love Me More.The song is all about the singer being more comfortable in their self, and Monaghan - who has directed more&nbsp;Sam Smith videos than anyone else - allows that feeling to seep through the course of the film in both a direct and evocative fashion.After a prelude listening to a&nbsp;phone machine voice message from an old friend who craves to meet up with them, Sam heads out into the day with a spring in their step - in a street scene reminiscent of one of their early videos.The introduction of a supporting cast is done through a break from the course of the narrative - conceptual set-ups and portrait shots of Sam's 'gang' from the LGBTQ+ community&nbsp;- before they all come together on the dancefloor.Monaghan keeps things interesting and affectionate throughout, never deviating from a positive and joyous mood. That's anchored&nbsp;by Sam's radiant performance. This dovetails really nicely with a song which has a tinge of gospel revivalism about it.Sam Smith is definitely back - and so is Luke Monaghan.&nbsp;

Sam Smith 'Love Me More' by Luke Monaghan

Sam-Smith--'Love-Me-More-'-by-Luke-Monaghan

Luke Monaghan directs a&nbsp;defiant tale of love lived without regret for Sam Smith's Diamonds.Following their collaborations on <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2019/07/26/sam-smith-how-do-you-sleep-grant-singer/59957#:~:text=Sam%20Smith%20astonishes%20in%20this,era%20of%20shiny%20event%20videos.">How Do You Sleep</a>, <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2017/09/20/sam-smith-too-good-goodbyes-luke-monaghan/49705">Too Good At Goodbyes</a> and <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/10/06/sam-smith-writings-wall-luke-monaghan/37255">Writing's On The Wall</a>, this promo finds Smith&nbsp;in a stripped-out bedroom, dancing their heart out as blinding flashes of light pulsate through the windows.&nbsp;Conceptual and introspective, this is not&nbsp;the first time we've seen Smith take on choreography, but it's definitely a step up in skill and ambition. And the choice to bring in choreographer&nbsp;Holly Blakey is an inspired one, resulting in movements that encapsulate the emotional rollercoaster of the narrative.&nbsp;

Dan Emmerson collaborates with Actress in the high-fashion dystopian video for X22RME.The clip follows a figure in a welder&#39;s mask as he wanders through a brutalist world of minimalism, sculpture, football pitches and models on pedestals. The finished piece is a haunting exercise in style and communication.

Jesse Kanda&#39;s powerful new video for Arca is a one-take thing of beauty.The dance film, which follows Alejandro Ghersi (better known as Arca) over one continuous take in an ominous black room. He dances around a floor littered with corpses, he himself appearing to be wounded by a sword. The simple cloth costume and corset give an almost biblical feel to the video, which is an arresting piece of atmospheric, enchanting dance.

&nbsp;Jamie-James Medina delivers two beautifully simple pieces of video for Sampha.Using delicate choreography, a simple studio setting, and subtly mesmerising VFX, the clip shows Sampha sitting at his piano whilst the room around him swirls with the dust of his co-star&#39;s dwindling physical form.The long form version of this video relies on the interplay between the two characters to underline the delicate beauty of the visuals and the track itself, whereas the shorter version is an immersive VR piece that allows you to take Sampha&#39;s place at the piano and see that beauty from a first-person perspective. Using VR as a companion piece to a larger, more traditional video format makes for a compelling interplay between the two and is one of the more immersive and rewarding VR experiences in music videos&nbsp;of late.

Sampha '(No One Knows Me) Like the Piano' by Jamie-James Medina

Sampha - (No One Knows Me) Like The Piano (Official Music Video)

&quot;What is this?&quot; is the first line of dialogue uttered in this silly, ultimately quite confusing video. Which seems apt, as many of the bands&#39; fans are asking the same question in the comments section on YouTube.Saam Farahmand&#39;s video sees super-duo Alex Turner and Miles Kane galavant around a lavish location&nbsp;of the Café Royal,&nbsp;like a pair of foppish European playboys. Pink shirts, white blazers, coiffured hair and fake tan, et al. Their will-they-or-won&#39;t-they homoerotic horseplay plays out like a tongue-in-cheek taunting of the fans who seem to spend hours and hours online debating whether or not the duo are in fact a couple. No, really.&nbsp;On the face of it, it has little in common with Farahmand&#39;s previous and closely-linked&nbsp;TLSP videos, for&nbsp;Everything You&#39;ve Come To Expect and Aviation - although it could be the prequel of sorts to both.&nbsp;And as the film crew and equipment&nbsp;start to become visible, the video itself seems to be bored with Alex and Miles&#39;s shenanigans. Very self-aware, but the song is actually good enough to handle it.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Tinie Tempah’s Wonderman feat. Ellie Goulding by Robert Hales

It's sexy, as you might expect with a video for Peaches - but even though the styling is very Spiders From Mars, not in an ironic way. 
Kinga Burza's video for I Feel Cream is also hypnotically gorgeous, with experimental camerawork, projections, and vision-mixing - all achieved on a smidgeon, as she explains below. 
In short, it's a lovely thing - and you will be feeling it.

Kinga Burza on making the video for Peaches' I Feel Cream
"When Sasha [Nixon, Partizan's head of video] first played me I Feel Cream I became excited by a fresh, softer and sensual sound from Peaches that we haven't heard before, and saw an opportunity to match it visually. 
"We were particularly restricted on this one budget-wise but Will Bex and I were always attracted to the opportunity to be experimental with this project, have some fun and do something we weren't normally able to do in pop video. Although we managed to wrangle in a couple of amazing giant-sized projectors as a favour and a decent number of willing and excited crew, we couldn't afford to shoot prime HDV so we made a conscious decision to embrace the low-fi digi quality, rather than try to make it feel like it was pretending to be something it wasn't. 
"I'd always wanted to experiment with a vintage vision mixer so Peaches become our perfect culprit. She's not exactly the type to have any qualms about working a camera sans beauty lighting, high quality format or prime lenses. Instead she gave us her best in our tiny photographic studio, the same morning as she flew into London post-gigging in Ibiza, whilst we pointed handheld Hi 8 and DV cameras at her, simultaneously feeding it into a mixer and recording my amateur mixing performances on tape. 
"We couldn't afford gels (it was really tight!) so we took advantage of our amazing projectors, using them as light sources, washing Peaches in moving lights from carefully prepared abstract Quicktimes courtesy of on-set editor Jo Apps, as well as using the projectors to project previous takes of Peaches back onto herself, whilst I mixed between Camera A and B, which were fed both through the mixer. 
"We were also really lucky we managed to wrangle some brilliant samples from normally difficult-to-impress fashion press offices. It's a video that really gained a lot from Peaches' ability to express herself in dramatic metallic shoulders, cut out leotards and thigh-high, lace up Louis Vuitton boots, taking you back to those early but exciting Bowie videos that were merely a wonderful performance of a red-headed David against a white wall wearing blue shadow. I knew if we were forced to go minimal, we were best to make a statement! 
"Darren Baldwin and I then attempted to make the final result as interesting as possible by building the cut, creatively and musically so that visually we were able to compliment the greatest track on the album as best as we could."
