Rich Brian lives life in isolation, in the promo for Little Ray Of Light - the first in Jared Hogan's series&nbsp;for songs from the Indonesian rapper's new album Where Is My Head?Under the watchful eye of CCTV cameras, we open in a world that looks much like ours, whilst Brian spins on a roundabout.&nbsp;Pulling out, we notice the artificial boundaries enveloping this space, the naturalistic elements clashing with artificial intention. This is a The Truman Show situation.With a gritty, dystopian aesthetic and an otherworldly feel throughout, the pensive concept is elevated by lingering, mysterious camerawork and an uncanny vibe.

The Jak Payne-directed&nbsp;video from London-based duo Awkward Moments explores the power of music to bring heightened sensuality to the mundane; with states of disturbed pleasure building to a climax as dancer Emma Belabed out of the confines of everyday domestic life.With choreography&nbsp;by Harry Price, with an electrifying performance by Belabed, Payne and Awkward Moments lead us to a place of passionate delirium through this crazed explosive journey."I started by focusing on the lyrics - 'longing, desire, pleasure, smile, flee, velvet, love, always, life, ecstasy, embrace, space’ - and built a sequence of images, each image tied to one of these words," explains choreogapher Harry Price.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]"I wanted these images to feel both thoughtful and playful, with a sense of spontaneity. I also wanted to explore and capture the strange, often unnoticed things we do when we’re alone - those moments of private release and unconscious movement."Rhythmically, I played with tension and release to capture the blend of yearning and pleasure as a woman breaks free from the confines of everyday life. As the dance progresses, the images evolve, repeat, and loop, creating a ‘glitching’ effect that suggests she’s caught between states."These movements are intercut with moments of pure freedom as [Emma] finds a growing sense of liberation. The use of substances heightens the sensory experience, intensifying both the dance and her journey."

Diana Kunst directs an expressive promo for Lenny Kravitz, focussing very much on the man himself&nbsp;and his timeless appeal.The video for Honey was shot on location at the late Pierre Cardin’s personal residence in Nice, France, and Kunst and team took an unusual approach in its production. Relying largely on improvisation and spontaneity, the creative team&nbsp;played music loudly, danced freely, and let the energy of the moment steer the narrative.The piece embodies the joy of being fully immersed in the present, as each frame feels fresh and unscripted, capturing the excitement and lightness of simply being playful. With superb cinematography by Joao De Botelho&nbsp;and grade by Dante Pasquinelli, the video strikes the perfect balance of narrative and performance. And lots of Lenny's fab physique.Great work with instant rewatch appeal.&nbsp;

Alice Fassi directs an eye-watering, retro comedy-horror inspired promo for US duo&nbsp;Cults.The video for Onions takes place in a charming 80s country house, where&nbsp;a sweet housewife is cooking her signature dish: onion soup. But beneath this perfect appearance lies a darker side. As she stirs the pot, she mixes in more than just onions. Her recipe calls for a chilling blend of deadly irony and sinister ingredients.Heavily inspired by vintage horror, and featuring brilliant puppets reminiscent of&nbsp;Little Shop of Horrors,&nbsp;the video is a blast from the past, and an eccentric, gory yet sweet love letter to the genre.&nbsp;

Allie Avital presents a story of infatuation and infidelity in her promo for Halle Bailey.&nbsp;The video for Because I Love You follows Bailey and her love interest, as his wondering eye causes him to end up with much more than he bargained for.&nbsp;Shot in a suspenseful, thriller-style manner - with plenty of stylish low-light scenes and mysterious camera angles&nbsp;- the video feels cinematic and elevated, anchored by playful performances from the on-screen couple (and several other versions of Bailey).&nbsp;"I’ve often gravitated to stories about unhinged obsessive love, so it was a real thrill to collaborate with the sweet multi hyphenate Halle to develop this noir-inspired parable," says Avital."Halle and co-star RJ Cyler really brought their next-level acting craft which made directing this exceptionally fun and had us all squealing behind the monitor."

Jake River Parker directs a standout one-take promo for Myles Morgan.&nbsp;The concept for In The Dark seems deceptively simple at first glance - a long take of the artist by a lighthouse, and a solo performance on a cliff - but when you start taking notice of the immense logistical challenges and how beautiful everything looks, it's clear that this is a truly inspired visual.&nbsp;The performances on-screen are understated and mellow, matching the breezy calm of the location, building to something exciting and stirring with the saxophone performance.&nbsp;Better known as an experienced music video producer, River Parker demonstrates skill as a director here: his&nbsp;eye for detail and timing shines through. It's one of those videos that gets better each time you watch it.&nbsp;"We knew we wanted to do a stupidly long one taker video, in a stupidly crazy location that no one had shot at before, and this is what we came up with," the director explains."The producer and artist scaled a 2 hour cliff down to the beach to reach the lighthouse at 3am, in complete darkness, whilst the rest of us set up at the top and waited, radio in hand, praying they would turn up and we could shoot."As we started shooting, the tide arrived, blocking the artist off from the rest of the world, stuck on the lighthouse for 8 hours. But, we got the shot. And what a shot it is, only made even more beautiful by the magic colourist Kaitlyn at Ethos Studio."With a £0 budget, and a lot of passion, we made this dream video of mine happen, and we are incredibly proud of what we made. A simplistic but beautifully captured true one taker."
