Gabriella Kingsley pays homage to Nina Simone in the artistic visual for I Put A Spell On You, to mark what would be the legendary musician's 90th birthday.A cast of three dancers bring the concept to life, which&nbsp;aims&nbsp;to celebrate and empower black women, elevating Nina Simone’s legacy of championing black talent and beauty. The dancers also&nbsp;allude&nbsp;to Simone's compelling&nbsp;presence while performing&nbsp;in front of vibrant LED screen, which create five distinct visual worlds that showcase different aspects of Nina's legacy.Poised, atmospheric and captivating, the video is a testament to Simone and her legacy,&nbsp;reimagined for modern audiences. From the&nbsp;cinematography&nbsp;by Jomar O'Meally and colour work by Jonny Tully to styling by Misi Africa,&nbsp;and adds a contemporary edge.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]“Working on (this) iconic track was a dream come true for me," says Kingsley. "Concept-wise I knew straight away I wanted to capture strong, beautiful, black women and that’s what sparked the idea of recreating her iconic looks, because who represented that better than Nina herself.“Asmara was cast&nbsp;for her powerful contemporary dance, which is just mesmerising to watch and she really knows how to tell a story through her movement. Sophia is known for her popular Afro dance moves which is a trend right now in the dance world and I felt it was important to appeal to the younger audience. And last, but not least, Priscilla, who has not danced for years, but her body structure and posture is just phenomenal. She is tall and slim and can create these beautiful shapes and poses."The crew and cast were meticulously chosen and they really executed my vision perfectly. Overall the process working with her estate, Verve and Untold Studios was a truly nourishing and liberating experience and I hope the world enjoys it as much as I did honouring the queen and legend that is Nina Simone.”

Nathan James Tettey directs a slick promo for Fredo's Flowers &amp; The Snow.&nbsp;We see the artist perform as the camera seamlessly pivots around the space, while the extravagant backdrops switch between an icy wonderland, experiencing an interior blizzard,&nbsp;and Fredo's&nbsp;inner sanctum bursting with homegrown buds. No, he's not really talking about the wonders of nature here.The video boasts high-end art direction from production designer Jakob Grierse, impressive cinematography by&nbsp;Jomar O’Meally, and a number of scantily-clad females. But this is really about the mesmerising charisma of Fredo. One of his best videos so far.&nbsp;

Sammy King pays&nbsp;homage to the limitless capacities of female empowerment, in the vibrant promo for Celeste's Love Is Back.&nbsp;It's set in a fantastical version of&nbsp;the Big Bang '80s, where the London Stock Exchange is run by women rather than barrowboy brokers - and&nbsp;the global currency is love.&nbsp;Celeste and her&nbsp;girls&nbsp;are working around the clock to help bring love back to the top and to do so, they’ll have to work together to sell stocks via the airwaves - and teach the men how it's done.&nbsp;The retro aesthetic and sharp styling exude nostalgic vibes, and DoP&nbsp;Nathalie Pitters matches this energy with effervescent neon lighting and vintage film cutaways.&nbsp;

Col3trane and featured artist Miraa May explore shadowgraphy in Rendezvous, directed by Jamie Whitby.&nbsp;For anyone not familiar with the term, shadowgraphy is the act of creating silhouettes on a wall- most of us have experience making dogs, cats,&nbsp;etc with a torch when we're kids. There's none of that here. It's much cooler... and darker.From shadow reenactments of heists to energetic performances, the struggle between light and dark is represented in a clever and innovative way, weaving live action setups with the silhouettes through exciting transitions. Great work from the team and artists.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
