Bjorn Franklin and Johnny Marchetta direct a poignant exploration of love and togetherness, in their promo for Calum Scott.&nbsp;The video for Biblical is split between a series of underwater vignettes and a powerful performance section, linked together in an abstract way.&nbsp;The underwater setups present snapshots of intimate relationships between various couples, whilst Scott watches on from a nondescript vantage point.When one character takes Scott's attention, however, he takes the plunge and breaks down the wall, finding himself in the water too... But was the jump worth it, and will it pay off?&nbsp;Beautifully shot by&nbsp;Simon Plunket, the low key colour palettes and minimalist art direction push the focus onto character and narrative, allowing viewers to project their own feelings and experiences onto the concept."Love is biblical was the theme of our story - capturing intimate moments, that felt locked in time, a feeling of almost serene weightlessness," explain Franklin and Marchetta."Using the underwater setting, we were able to portray dream like moments of love. Intertwined with Callum’s setting where he played the part of the observer, someone who watched and eventually took a leap of faith and searching for that same feeling himself."&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dotan begs for forgiveness in Bjorn&nbsp;Franklin &amp; Johnny Marchetta's poignant promo for Mercy.&nbsp;The video&nbsp;switches between footage of the artist trapped in a gloomy prison cell, with a mysterious narrative unfolding throughout the concept, based around an act of arson.&nbsp;Anchored by a devastatingly effective performance, Dotan displays a real knack for acting, whilst the climax at the end feels worthy of the dramatic build-up.

Fredo and Dave's collaboration on Money Talks gets a tremendous visual directed by Edem Wornoo, as we follow the story of how a £50 note ended up on the rappers' extraordinary mountain of money - that they then set alight.From the spectacular beginning, things only get more impressive. Essentially, Money Talks is about our relationship with money as humans and the ways in which it reveals things about us. And this is a hugely powerful video for Friedo and Dave's incendiary track.Through the course of the video&nbsp;we move steadily backwards, and in each superbly mounted sequence, Fredo and Dave defy logic by performing in sync while the footage is clearly moving in reverse. But that is only partly about a clever visual technique. It is also a drama, where the unsavoury human behaviour that revolves around the journey of this substantial banknote is unveiled.A story of the corrupting power of money that is brilliantly told by Edem, a very impressive new directing talent.

A man is stuck in a Groundhog Day-style loop in Lily Gwynne-Thomas' electrifying promo for Grafix.&nbsp;Sitting in a bedroom surrounded by a glitching TV and several peepholes, the main character - played by&nbsp;Nick Fagg - is frantically trying to discover who is watching him, and how to break out of the distressing loop he lingers in.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Alasdair K. Boyce matches the hyperactive pace with vivid red lighting and handheld camerawork, building upon the tension in the concept.&nbsp;

SL traverses an overgrown, abandoned Britain in Oliver Jennings' video for Little Bird.&nbsp;Focusing on performance and striking set pieces, the visual jumps from a futuristic tropical apartment to rural landscapes inhabited by flocks of sheep, before moving on to the deserted streets of London.&nbsp;Charmingly offbeat and paying homage to a variety of different genres and concepts, SL thrives in each of the vignettes, bringing lots of confidence and presence to each scene.&nbsp;

Paulo Berberan throws back to old-school garage in the vibrant video for Lost Girl's I Won't Give Up.&nbsp;Under the hyperactive lights of a night club, Lost Girl is in her element, switching between enigmatic performance and slick choreography. Glitchy overlays give the visual the 90's aesthetic it's going for, adding an extra element to the polished concept.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Matthew Emvin Taylor utilises clever camera movement to elevate the video, creating a contemporary reimagining of the traditional UKG style.

Robinson yearns for something more&nbsp;in Balan Evans's&nbsp;poignant&nbsp;video for Watching You.&nbsp;Focusing on the artist's unrequited love for one of her close friends, the visual features a montage of different clips from an adventure through the woods and country, intercut with a performance shot on 16mm.For the narrative we step right into the shoes of Robinson, the&nbsp;footage captured as if it was the artist herself filming, building an&nbsp;intimate and personal perspective. The use of 8mm and 16mm film stock creates a wistful and nostalgic aesthetic, perfectly complementing the emotionally affecting track and lyrics.&nbsp;The performances are strong throughout, with Robinson's heartbreaking solo setups stealing the show and anchoring the melancholic concept.&nbsp;

Riley Blakeway explores the grieving process with great sensitivity in her video for Kodaline's Wherever You Are, featuring an affecting performance by Australian actress-model Teresa Oman.Blakeway builds the story through a fluid timeline that takes us into the mind of the young woman&nbsp;as she travels alone through Morocco. Scenes of happiness with her boyfriend evolve into the horror of his sickness, and her helplessness. These memories intersect the fascinating reality of her journey through an vibrant land, which provides distraction but also the opportunity to reflect.Oman goes through a gamut of emotion during her restless wandering, and the range of scenes captured in David Wright's luminous photography adds weight to that sense of a young woman urgently seeking catharsis, a respite from personal anguish.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Amy Douglas-Morris welcomes us into the intriguing world of Biig Piig - aka Jess Smyth&nbsp;- switching from live action to illustration as coolly and easily as she flips between English and Spanish, in her silky new track Roses &amp; Gold.While Smyth is decidedly deadpan as she delivers the silkily soulful Roses And Gold,&nbsp;the animation by Alice Bloomfield complements the quirky art direction, and they come together in the three dimensional&nbsp;'jungle' wallpaper&nbsp;that surrounds her.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
