Mike Harvey directs a euphoric video&nbsp;with Hey Honey&nbsp;for London-based singer, multi-instrumentalist and all-round musical prodigy Jacob Collier.The studio-based promo&nbsp;for Wellll sees Collier explore&nbsp;a colourful network of interconnected shapes and sets, with plenty of visual trickery and striking art direction on offer.&nbsp;It's a video that matches the unabashed energy of the track - a more rock-influenced direction for the artist -&nbsp;anchored by a spirited performance from Collier and director Mike Harvey's carefully balanced maximalism.&nbsp;If you're looking for something playful and engaging&nbsp;to watch - and marvel at Collier's virtuoso talent -&nbsp;you cannot&nbsp;go far wrong with this.

Sarah Piantadosi directs an uninhibited&nbsp;retro-tinged performance promo for&nbsp;London-based Irish alternative artist and&nbsp;poet Sinead O'Brien.&nbsp;The video acts as a live showcase for O'Brien and her band, shining a spotlight on her unique performance style and live show.&nbsp;Piantadosi encourages a charismatic performance from O'Brien, with excellent work from DoP Sam Hooper as she stalks London's night-time streets.The bright highlights and gritty textures, and the enthusiastic coupling of the denizens of the nightclub where they are playing,&nbsp;hark back to videos of the 80s, and the entire concept has a very underground, almost Jarman-eque&nbsp;feel. High praise indeed.&nbsp;

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;

Anne Marie and Little Mix celebrate in style, in the epic video for Kiss My (Uh-Oh), directed by Hannah Lux Davis.&nbsp;There’s a lot of fun to be had, as the&nbsp;gang travel on a party plane, do shots, dress up in wedding attire and get serenaded by a group of strippers.&nbsp;Shot whilst Leigh-Anne and Perrie were pregnant, the group are split between the hotel room and the club, and it leads to a series of hilarious events.&nbsp;Bold, vibrant and action-packed,&nbsp;this has Hannah Lux Davis' glossy trademark style written all over it, and proves why she is one of the most in-demand music video directors of this generation.&nbsp;

A compelling tale of transgression&nbsp;and obsession for DJ-producer David Lindmer by DRUST - aka Tristan Hefele.It begins with a young man aiming to confront a couple in a club - and then spinning back to his past, as a troubled kid and psychiatric patient who falls for his doctor, who cannot resist her urge to&nbsp;reciprocate. A steamy affair begins...DRUST's skilled direction of the sex and drug-fuelled narrative, and his excellent lead actors, sets the tone for the climax&nbsp;of the video, when&nbsp;the young man confronts the doctor and her partner. By this point, anything&nbsp;is possible and something unexpected certainly happens.[imgtoken data:1]"The starting point for the Omen video was to explore the theme of ‘doomed relationships’ and witness the nuanced moments where things take a wrong turn," explains Tristan Hefele, aka DRUST."Bringing emotion to the forefront of the viewers’ experience was key to the storytelling and a big part of the reason why the track was so great to work on."David was a fantastic artist to engage with because of his openness to the collaborative effort of the whole piece. Early on we decided that the images shouldn’t feel like they’d just been tacked onto the track, but that there should be a reciprocal process, where the pictures enhance the music and vice versa. The feeling of both being fully bedded together was of primary importance to us."

Alex Southam directs an intense dance promo&nbsp;for Public Service Broadcasting's Blue Heaven.&nbsp;The video features multidisciplinary artist Celine Fortenbacher, who hides under the guise of darkness, blending into a cold, dank industrial space before bursting out of the shadows and&nbsp;into choreographed dance.[imgtoken data:1]Transforming into a confident, mesmerising performer in her&nbsp;imagination the video takes a turn for the fantastical, as the space is flooded with blue lights and strobes. This momentarily giving the character star quality under the watchful eye of a CCTV camera.Alex Southam's direction draws you into the world of the Fortenbacher character, her transformation into a&nbsp;vibrant alter-ego - inspired by legendary German movie star Marlene Dietrich -&nbsp;and the conversation that ensues between the different parts of the personality, assisted by a superbly kinetic edit by Rich Woolway.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Jasper Brown directs a heartwrenching promo for Joesef's Comedown.&nbsp;Cleverly encapsulated in a single rotating camera movement - which pulls out from a bloodied face to a scene of a road traffic accident - the visual has a surprisingly calm and endearing vibe, given its subject matter.&nbsp;Evoking the idea of an end of life flashback, Joesef narrates an unrequited love story with his final breaths, as flashing lights and chromatic&nbsp;aberrations represent the idea of him slipping away.&nbsp;Stunning work and a unique concept, perfectly fitting to the track.&nbsp;

New pop hope Griff turns in a splendid live performance of Black Hole in Thomas Ralph's film shot at the newly restored Hackney Church. In the process it&nbsp;shifts from infinite darkness to space and light, and then back and forth between day and night.Griff is initially seen against total blackness - actually a&nbsp;black infinity wall that&nbsp;is revealed as such when the camera moves outwards to reveal the location and the teenage singer's fellow musicians. Then the church is revealed and a sense of space and light streaming from a giant stained glass window is a real mood-lifter.Most importantly of all, Griff reveals herself as a genuinely exciting talent with a great version of this excellent song.[imgtoken data:1]

Griff 'Black Hole' (Live at Hackney Church) by Thomas Ralph

Griff - Black Hole (Live Performance from Hackney Church)

Maxim Kelly teams up with South London alt-rockers Shame to create a masterful reimagining of archive footage for new single Nigel Hitter.Applying deepfake technology onto film from mid-20th century child developmental research, Kelly drops the band -&nbsp;frontman Charlie Steen,&nbsp;in particular&nbsp;- into the world of vintage equipment, whitecoated medics&nbsp;and&nbsp;lots of babies, undergoing all manner of tests and examinations. It's all part of the project led by that man who introduces the film and has his name on the front of the hospital... Nigel Hitter, MD.The effect of this clever refashioning of the past is both funny and creepy - which becomes more pronounced when the babies 'learn' to sing the lyrics of the song, and the human babies' number is increased by a painfully thin baby rhesus monkey. Now we are sliding into David Cronenberg territory of&nbsp;curious institutions, strange experiments and unfeasibly gifted toddlers.You could also argue that the video is also a kind of reflection on the past year - a relentless testing of human behaviour, where the medical profession play a prominent role. It echoes the manner in which the song, which features on the band's new album Drunk Tank Pink (out on Friday, 15th January). As Steen explains, it started life as&nbsp;the band adjusted to being locked down at home, having spent much of their adult life on tour.&nbsp;“Nigel Hitter is one of the vital organs of Drunk Tank Pink," he says. "A necessary pulse. Focused on daily routine, repetition, and how extraordinary any ordinary task seemed to me after coming home from touring. A world of percussion and joy lies within.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And Maxim Kelly was clearly inspired by the lyrics in coming up with the concept behind the video. The way he has executed that idea into the finished work - with the help of his team, including DoP Franklin Dow, editor Charlie Reddie and VFX artist RoBert Chandler - is nothing short of a marvel.

B2 direct&nbsp;a breezy, nostalgic promo for Izzy Bizu's tribute to a classic British sports car, MG.&nbsp;Exuding Americana and late 70's aesthetics, B2 focus on the journey, a&nbsp;thrill-ride where Izzy and her man stop off at some characteristic spots - including a diner and old fashioned gas station.The creative team have redressed a handful of UK locations to look as if they were shot Stateside - no easy feat, and testament to some excellent art direction from&nbsp;Sasha Webster.&nbsp;And of course, it takes place mostly in the front seat of an MG car - keeping the namesake of the track front and centre.&nbsp;An ambitious concept with great execution and a feelgood vibe.
