The latest episode in Greg Barth's ongoing collaboration with Easy Life is the&nbsp;whimsical video for Have A Great Day - and takes us back to the summertime and the English seaside.This one was inspired by the photography of Martin Parr, and shot on a windy day in Broadstairs, it transforms&nbsp;a typical British day at the beach into a slightly surreal experience.&nbsp;The video experiments with cyclical camera movements and a postcard gag,&nbsp;resetting the scene after each cycle. The characters get progressively messier - both in the literal and figurative meaning of the word - as they throw ice creams, start play-fighting and falling over themselves.&nbsp;The inspired blend of visual effects and live action creates a mesmerising aesthetic. Playful, characterful, and on the verge of chaotic - just like a day at the seaside. And its very Easy Life.&nbsp;

Taz Tron Delix brings East and West together for Joy Crooke's deeply soulful Feet Don't Fail Me Now.Joy celebrates her Bengali roots and London upbringing, with the elements of East, West, tradition and modernity all drawn together with considerable flair and wit by Taz and team, in a series of eye-popping visuals.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Perhaps most importantly, this is a cultural melting pot defined by colour and character. The bright colours of the East pop from the staid objects of the West, while&nbsp;Joy's performance in various scenes is aided and abetted by a huge cast, from her gang of girl moped riders, to the Bengali boys, and the clubbers and dancers.[imgtoken data:2]The&nbsp;song has an infectious, Motown-esque bass-driven vibe&nbsp;with&nbsp;thought-provoking lyrics about how society is afraid to speak up on delicate topics in fear of being dismissed and ultimately cancelled - and in the midst of everything, Joy Crookes always comes across as the central focus, the person in the midst of the crazy world, with the lovely voice that raises goosebumps, calmly making sense of everything.[imgtoken data:3]

Greg Barth's latest collaboration with Leicester indie-R&amp;Bers Easy Life takes its cue from their excellent previous work - and one video in particular - and the cover of their just-released debut album&nbsp;Life's A Beach.As always frontman Murray Matravers takes centre stage, in a fantastical scenario where his bandmates paly supporting roles - both to Murray and his giant goldfish friend.&nbsp;As Greg explains below, its a surreal sequel of sorts to the animated <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Db_Gf9z8jk" target="_blank">Message To Myself</a> video. It's also the latest in an extensive body of Easy Life work over the past couple of years by the Swiss-born and London-based director, from the video for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dQnXExTp2w" target="_blank">Nightmares</a> (featuring Jamie Demetriou of Stath Lets Flats) to the recent Gondryesque <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87U_l3AvyX0" target="_blank">Skeletons</a>. The work has been consistently inventive and entertaining, and this is certainly the case here.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;&nbsp;

Art School Girlfriend&nbsp;is transported to a laser-lit fantasy in regular&nbsp;collaborator Tom Dream's promo for In The Middle.&nbsp;Shot on 16mm, the video explores ideas of isolation and intimacy, through colourful snapshots of youth and movement.&nbsp;Starting with a simple red laser mirage on a wall, the artist - real name Polly Mackey - soon enters a coruscating world of beams, strobes and neon light, lost in the magical euphoria of the concept.&nbsp;Beautifully shot by DoP&nbsp;David Wright, it's a perfect complement to the Margate-based artist's unique blend of electronica.&nbsp;

Greg Barth explores the irony of growing up in the modern world, in his&nbsp;spectacular video for Purple Disco Machine's Fireworks.&nbsp;Depicted as a dance battle between Gen Z and a group of Boomers, the video alludes to many crises that face the human race today; climate change, the use of fossil fuels and overconsumption&nbsp;being just a few examples.&nbsp;And whilst the Gen Z pack start off with their own minds, fighting against these injustices, they are soon twisted and distorted into an older way of thinking - leaving a planet in the midst of destruction, exploding and crumbling as the glossy dance number comes to its crescendo.&nbsp;Thought-provoking work with an accessible and unique twist.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Melody Maker&nbsp;embraces a slick, cyberpunk aesthetic in her gripping promo&nbsp;for Mahalia's Jealous, featuring Rico Nasty.&nbsp;Invading a former lover's mansion, decked head to toe in futuristic styling, Mahalia isn't here to play games. Stalking the overtly neon blue environment, she glitches in and out of reality, joined by US-based rapper Rico Nasty, who terrorises the guy through different TV screens spotted around the house.&nbsp;A true feat, this is Mahalia as you've never seen her before, and no doubt one of her very best videos. DoP&nbsp;Olan Collardy embraces the future-tech concept, and switches up the angles and camera movement at every possible moment, mirroring the frenetic, dreamlike vibe.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

TAWBOX, creative directors behind Stormzy’s 2019 Glastonbury headline set and Dave’s 2020 BRITs performance, directed Pa Salieu's first US TV appearance on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon - a one-shot performance that recreates the rapper's Send Them To Coventry&nbsp;album cover.It's a fusion of The Gambia meets Coventry, as Pa Salieu travels through a Gambian shop and is then joined by his Coventry friends. Inspired by Gambian culture, TAWBOX included a Kankurang dancer within the performance. A large-scale lighting set up and a live band was used during the performance to showcase Pa Salieu as one of music’s leading artists."Production wise it was all about getting a dream team together to pull it off and with Alex Jamin behind the lens we went for it," explain TAWBOX. "With numerous lighting states and sets (designed by Sarah Asmail) we needed a monumental lighting plan and roped in Elliot Beach to pull it off in one long day."Funnily enough Sarah Asmail had worked on Pa Salieu's album cover and it was just by sheer coincidence that producer Ghandi El-Chamaa got in touch with her for the performance, having seen her other sets and been keen to get a working relationship going."Seb Joly on the Trinity is also worthy of a mention having had to enter through a car window with his rig and under 1cm clearance 24 times - he didn't bump it on any recorded takes!"

Taz Tron Delix directs the star-studded posse of Headie One, Stormzy and AJ&nbsp;Tracey - reflecting on how far they have travelled in their careers - in an atmospheric affair for Ain't It Different.&nbsp;The heavy-hitters&nbsp;exchange verses in a beautifully-lit mysterious mansion with a hypnotic atmosphere, and ther is a butterfly motif, in a nod to the sample used in the song. And above everything - a huge statue of Headie One, towering over a North London high rise. It's an unmissable symbol&nbsp;of how big Headie has become. &nbsp;

Troy Roscoe teams up with Nathan Dawe and KSI to create suitably lighthearted take on sporting achievement for one of the hits of the summer.It begins with Nathan Dawe, KSI, SFX and Window Kidd having a game of poker, but when the overconfident KSI goes 'all in' and comes a cropper, he is stung into challenging the guys at other sports.&nbsp;They decide that basketball and football is where their true talent lies - but turns out that they are all completely useless at both sports.In a slick and stylish production - DoP Stefan Yap captures the sporting incompetence like a big budget Nike ad - Roscoe does a great job in showcasing KSI's big personality and&nbsp;the camaraderie among the group, and adds some useful&nbsp;VFX touches to assist the impression that the boys' on-court skills are improving.

Working together for a fourth time, Louis Tomlinson and director Charlie Lightening head to Morroco for Walls, the title track of the artist's debut album.&nbsp;Surrounded by breathtaking desert landscapes, Tomlinson is traversing the terrain to reach a mysterious door. Taking inspiration from surrealist art, the door is a gateway to a variety of offbeat locations and situations, including a ballroom dance and an ever so slightly creepy setup with masked characters and threatening red lighting.&nbsp;One part narrative and one part conceptual performance, the surreal interpretation of art and design is fresh territory for the singer-songwriter, but an environment&nbsp;he seems to very much thrive in. Ever vibrant and excited to stretch himself as a performer, Tomlinson dives head first into the various vignettes, embodying an aura of calm and clarity as he riffs on tearing down his emotional walls to give himself another chance at love.&nbsp;

Stormzy rules a dystopian industrial world in Taz Tron Delix's video for Audacity.&nbsp;Riding on top of a HGV as it piles down a foggy motorway, the message is clear: Stormzy is done playing games, and is calling out the audacity of those who doubt his worth.&nbsp;With slick shots of fire-swept concrete wastelands, strobing performance setups and burning piles of cash, the visual is a statement and a warning. Stormzy isn't going anywhere, so it's time to pay him the respect he deserves.&nbsp;With brilliant production values and talent across the creative team, this is a real standout among the year's releases, just before we enter the next decade.&nbsp;
