Saorla Houston directs a poignant performance promo for Camden Cox.&nbsp;The video for Over opens with dark, contemplative&nbsp;cinematography, as the camera follows a pensive Camden on a journey through her house. She is searching&nbsp;for space to be alone, but she keeps coming into contact with her boyfriend.When she eventually finds a space to herself, we enter a lighter fantasy world with ethereal lighting and more elaborate art direction and styling. Camden's performance changes in these scenes -&nbsp;she is able to express herself freely, revealed through a high-energy performance direct to camera.Transcending the darkness of her present situation to a brighter, optimistic future, we see the artist transition in real time, taking the first step on a journey to realign her life. It's a beautiful message reflected in a fresh, unique way.&nbsp;"This song is about Camden's relationship breaking down in lockdown with someone she was living with at the time," says Houston. "For the video I wanted to capture the darkness and feeling of claustrophobia in still sharing physical space with someone you shouldn't be with."

Up-and-coming director-duo Waxxwork direct a dark and melancholic promo for Berwyn.Following their nomination for Eddy Luna's Still Breathing in the Best R&amp;B/Soul&nbsp;Video Newcomer at this year's UKMVAs,&nbsp;the directing team continue their creative journey with this impressive video for Berwyn's new track MIA.&nbsp;Interweaving the rapper's&nbsp;strong performance with an action-packed and symbolic storyline, the video cleverly integrates&nbsp;VFX and live action, resulting in a concept that feels bittersweet&nbsp;and poignant.[imgtoken data:1]A clever use of perspective and contrasting frame rates add a haunting dimension to the project. Waxxwork - Timothy Casten&nbsp;and Vikesh Govind - play with the idea of time as Berwyn is stuck in a limbo that's both metaphorical and visual, attempting to escape both memories and reality.&nbsp;And it all leads to Berwyn becoming both the victim&nbsp;being buried alive,&nbsp;and also the leader of his captors, shovelling the earth on his alter-ego.&nbsp;It lingers long after watching.&nbsp;

Jack Turner explores the divide between our digital and analogue worlds, in the introspective promo for Crossfire.&nbsp;In this bittersweet letter to apathy, we enter a dystopia where a man and a woman have been reduced to nothing. They have been absorbed by a digital world, waiting for themselves - or something - to shake them out of their reality.Featuring a cold, desaturated colour palette and glitchy performance scenes playing out on different devices, the video feels as if it lives within a parallel world, abstract and alien in its presentation.The heart of the concept shines through, however, finding a universally relatable anchor in the relationship on-screen, and the emotions that play out.&nbsp;

Taz Tron Delix directs an emotional tale of intense love for Berwyn's Rubber Bands.The song by the Trinidad-born, London-based rapper takes us through a journey reflecting on times in love, the heartwarming memories that come in its wake, but then the flipside as a harsher reality intrudes, leading to regret and loss.Delix&nbsp;manifests these themes by creating a world where only Berwyn and his partner exist and their passionate relationship shapes the surroundings. The director's&nbsp;signature colour palettes and swirling camera movements are used to portray the rollercoaster of emotions, visually reflecting the mind state of Berwyn and his partner going through first love, heartbreak and pain.&nbsp;Images of floating mid air and reversed scenes not only adds an element of surrealism, but also drives home that feeling of what it’s like to be in love only being brought back down to reality when that same feeling starts to crumble.After the epic-scale of his&nbsp;work in recent times for Stormzy and Headie One, this is a more intimate work&nbsp;by Taz Tron Delix - but a consummate example of his trademark style and directorial vision.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2][imgtoken data:3]

The world hits fast-forward in Max Vatblé's glorious end-of-Summer video&nbsp;for Camelphat's Hypercolour.&nbsp;Shot and edited in time-lapse, we&nbsp;follow a young man (Nathan Faus) having a mindbending moment amid a swirl of activity around him on a holiday island. Time speeds up as he becomes incapacitated, and he embarks on a hypersaturated journey, emphasised by the colours, raw emotions, poetic moments, and the&nbsp;hypnotic lights of their environment.DoP&nbsp;Robin Asselmeyer leans into the off-kilter concept with sweeping camera shots and unconventional angles, giving the concept a raw and dynamic aesthetic.&nbsp;This&nbsp;is ramped up with the addition of a mind-bending visual effects sequence towards the end of the video, representing a psychedelic mindset and a warped sense of space and time.&nbsp;

Nicholas Lam directs an animated&nbsp;tour de force&nbsp;for Snakehips' Lie For You, featuring Jess Glynne.&nbsp;Action-packed and explosive, the endless stream of Matrix-style fight scenes and cyberpunk aesthetics are heavily inspired by Japanese anime, with nods to popular shows and literature in the genre.&nbsp;The visuals - created by the animators at Chinese animation studio&nbsp;Point Five Creations -&nbsp;are breathtaking from start to finish: beautifully rendered, rich in texture and saturated colours;&nbsp;whilst the transitions and story structure are classic anime, with a few contemporised additions.[imgtoken data:1]

Brock Neal Roberts directs an emotionally affecting video for Berwyn's Trap Phone.&nbsp;The song is about two individuals, one inside the bubble and one outside of it, and the trap phone is the only point of contact between the two.&nbsp;Exploring this&nbsp;idea of distant love, the concept shows the artist spending a lot of time making one-way calls, reaching out to someone who won't reciprocate the contact. In a haze of everyday moments spent with friends, the loss&nbsp;of&nbsp;this relationship becomes existential, questioning what love and life is from a human perspective.A rap break at the half-way mark adds a poignancy to the project, and the unbroken, almost one-minute long shot that complements this section is incredibly powerful.&nbsp;With a distinct visual style and otherwordly aesthetic - care of DoP&nbsp;Spike Morris - the video is a beautiful interpretation of the lyrics.&nbsp;Trap Phone was shot all over Romford with Berwyn's friends and at places that hold a special significance for the artist.&nbsp;

Fenn O'Meally directs an intimate portrait and celebration of black Afro-Caribbean culture in JNR Williams's new video for Us In Major.Consisting&nbsp;of vignettes focused on a series of people of different ages and backgrounds, each shot is composed as if a photographic portrait, with lots of eye contact with the camera and groups posing in unison. Moments of joy and candid laughter are interspersed with more serious scenes, creating a balanced and honest view of the life experience they are all sharing.&nbsp;Shot by&nbsp;Olan Collardy, the naturalistic lighting and colour palettes are raw and engaging, and it's a beautiful visual to match the thought-provoking track.&nbsp;

New OB signing Darnell Depradine invites you to his underground speakeasy in Aitch's new video, Buss Down.Going full-on vintage, from the sepia tones to the wardrobe and styling, this homage to last century's Roaring 20s&nbsp;is a breath of fresh air in the current 90s revival climate. Featuring strong performances from both Aitch and featured artist ZieZie, the video makes an inspired decision in presenting the artists in a way they have never been seen before.Complete with a mini-narrative and excellent cinematography, it's a must-watch from an exciting new director.&nbsp;
