Colin Solal Cardo rises to the challenge of directing Robyn’s latest visual - a classic, electrifying performance in a sandy ruin.&nbsp;Robyn's&nbsp;visual canon&nbsp;has a mythical prestige. Before she was a name in the UK, her devastating video for With Every Heartbeat&nbsp;was in heavy circulation; Dancing On My Own&nbsp;wouldn’t be the gay anthem it is today without Max Vitali’s video&nbsp;and the singer's glorious power stance in it; and Call Your Girlfriend&nbsp;is one of the most imitated dance sequences on the internet.These iconic pieces feel like the work of the same artist, but the common denominator is difficult to pin down. But at the heart of these videos are Robyn’s exhilarating performances. Her soprano voice can communicate a range and complexity of emotion in one bar, and these qualities bleed into her dancing. She is simultaneously strong and vulnerable, relatable and inaccessible, dorky and composed.And this is completely true of Solal Cardo's video for Ever Again.&nbsp;Most recently, he helmed a genre-bending project for Christine and the Queens. Here, he had the challenge of directing a video for one of Robyn’s quietest songs, and the result is pure&nbsp;theatre. This is not a one shot, but everything suggests that this remarkable performance was captured in one take.[imgtoken data:1]We also have an entire creative team clearly at the top of their game: the Romanesque set by Francesca di Mottola lends the video a classical gravity; Crille Forsberg shoots from every angle on glorious 35mm;&nbsp;Decida Wahlberg’s choreography is incredibly physical, oscillating between the poised and apparently spontaneous.In one ecstatic moment, in a reverie, Robyn actually spins the microphone stand above her head. Dressed in white Louis Vuitton - designed by the creative director, no less - she twists through the room, kicks up sand, then casts herself into it.&nbsp;Robyn has never looked so much like Bowie, and it suits her. If this really&nbsp;is her last heartbreak, it’ll be a great loss.&nbsp;

Max Vitali presents a sensual and intimate take on the emotional power of dance music in his latest video for Robyn.The&nbsp;intimacy of the moving bodies is emphasised&nbsp;by close ups and depth of field, and a seductive use of colour, with&nbsp;their movements slowed down as they sway to Robyn&#39;s music for Honey.The notable diversity of the participants in Vitali&#39;s dancefloor setting was established in the casting call, which went out on Robyn&#39;s Twitter and Instagram, requesting&nbsp;&quot;modern, diverse, interesting and liberated couples and relationships. Heterosexual, LGBTQ+, gender non-conforming, polyamourous. Body types and ethnic background diversity is a must.&quot;&nbsp;

The story of a relationship played out entirely on London public transport, Sophie Muller&#39;s video for Wolf Alice follows a familiar path from the initial meeting and mutual attraction onwards. But this ends up somewhere less expected.Don&#39;t Delete The Kisses is a real treat. This becomes less about the dramatic arc, and more about the characters - there are outstanding performances here from the lead actors Chelsea&nbsp;Edge and Jack Anderson &ndash; which leaves much more for the viewer to think about. It&#39;s brought together in a marvellous edit by Muller with Owen Oppenheimer. And overall it&#39;s so absorbing, you will probably not be thinking how they figured out how to shoot this.&nbsp;What&#39;s more, it also happens to be Sophie Muller&#39;s first ever video that does not feature the artist. That makes it a landmark as big as any in London. &nbsp;

Dan Emmerson creates an intimate festival vibe with his video for Bonzai.For I Feel Alright, the London singer sends out the call from her very own stone circle, chills in her caravan and welcomes friends to a campfire rave. It&#39;s a step into harder-edged pop territory for Emmerson who has impressed as a resourceful visual stylist in his videos for Actress and DJ Shadow, and there&#39;s similar flair here too, including a less predictable use of drone-based photography.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Bonzai 'I Feel Alright' by Dan Emmerson

Technology and natural grace vie for attention in Dan Emmerson&#39;s absorbing video for DJ Shadow.Corridors is a cinematic soundscape that goes techno, and Emmerson&#39;s visuals reflect the unpredictable nature of the track, cutting between swimsuited girls in a pool and miniature, remote-controlled supercar.The scenes are drawn together by the nighttime settings and low-lighting - the spotlit pool, the car illuminated by lazers &ndash; before the introduction of the piece de resistance: a turntable, with DJ Shadow vinyl on the deck, encased in a block of ice.&nbsp;Now that really is cool.

Max Weiland&#39;s competition-winning clip for Elton John is a gorgeous love letter to LA.A woman drives to scatter some ashes, whilst&nbsp;another drives for the joy of being in the city at night. A parking attendant takes an expensive car for a spin and a group of young girls live&nbsp;it up in a limo on the strip. Also, Marilyn Manson(!) shows up in surprising, out-of-persona cameo.Fresh from premiering at Cannes, Weiland&#39;s clip for Tiny Dancer is a story about a city that&#39;s always on the move - told through a dozen people moving through it. Lovingly shot on film by Evan Prosofsky, the video is a multi-faceted love story about a place famous for telling stories.

Raine Allen-Miller uses the motifs of classical religious painting and gives them a contemporary relevance in her video for Denai Moore.As the camera moves out from Denai&#39;s face, she is revealed as the&nbsp;central figure in a tableaux featuring characters each representing different aspects of the human condition. The symbolic nature of these characters is reinforced by bursts of animation and finally,the arrival of balloon sharks floating above the scene.

Preparation for Dawn Shadforth&#39;s video for Fat White Family side project The Moonlandingz, featuring Rebecca Taylor from Slow Club, apparently&nbsp;involved lead singer Johnny Rocket (aka FWF&#39;s Lias Saoudi)&nbsp;staying up for five days before the shoot. Then he attached fried eggs to his nipples with clingfilm.His co-star Rebecca is not dressed quite as imaginatively, but looks like she&#39;s been up for a few days herself. She and Lias project a kind of uneasy chemistry that bring to mind Uma Thurman and John Travolta dancing to Chuck Berry in Pulp Fiction. If they had been&nbsp;in&nbsp;a Chinese restaurant cum karaoke bar in Dalston in the middle of a bender, that is.&nbsp;&nbsp;It was shot on film by esteemed DoP Robbie Ryan, who&#39;s recent feature work includes American Honey and I, Daniel Blake. But you just don&#39;t get to do this sort of thing working with&nbsp;Ken Loach.

Dan Emmerson collaborates with Actress in the high-fashion dystopian video for X22RME.The clip follows a figure in a welder&#39;s mask as he wanders through a brutalist world of minimalism, sculpture, football pitches and models on pedestals. The finished piece is a haunting exercise in style and communication.

A seedy, psychedelic motel is the setting for Rollo Jackson&#39;s trippy video for Belly ft. Future.Taking the visual motif of water rippling and distorting the world&nbsp;and bringing it onto dry land, we see Belly &amp; Future haunt the rooms of this motel, drenched in pink and blue hues. The hallucinogenic visual effects combined with elements of surreality make the motel feel like it could be anywhere and nowhere - a purgatory of sorts.
