Tanu Muiño takes us on a surreal trip behind-the-scenes of a vaudevillian travelling circus, in this whimsical promo for Harry Styles.&nbsp;The video acts as a final farewell to the Harry's House album campaign, which has brought with&nbsp;it a string of hits and videos - including the massive hit and multi-awardwinning Muino-directed video&nbsp;for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/04/14/harry-styles-it-was-tanu-muino/75920">As It Was</a>&nbsp;- although it was actually shot a year ago.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;&nbsp;The theatrical, larger-than-life energy seen on Styles's&nbsp;international tour is on full display here, as he takes on the role of showman, interacting with different performers in a cheeky, happy-go-lucky way. There's also plenty of wirework magic to admire, with soaring flying shots and&nbsp;tightrope stunts, all in a day's work for this performer.&nbsp;A wonderful way to close one of the most notable artist releases in recent memory, and a welcome return to Muiño and Styles's collaborative relationship to close the loop.[imgtoken data:2]&nbsp;

Furmaan + Vasso direct Jess Glynne's long-awaited return, with the stylish video for Silly Me.&nbsp;Touching upon themes of escapism,&nbsp;resilience and overcoming your past, the video has an elevated, almost fashion-film-esque aesthetic, which showcases Glynne in a way viewers won't have seen her before.&nbsp; "We thought a lot about the interior mind and where we store encroaching memories and self-doubt," the directors mention. "Silly Me takes place inside that place, and is about escaping and overcoming your past."It was a testament to Jess's resilience as an artist and was an honour to create this with her and such an inspiring team."Boasting slick styling, superbly crafted&nbsp;cinematography by Natasha Duursma, choreography from Holly Blakey, and a powerful central performance from Jess, it's an impressive showcase for her comeback - with a real earworm of a track to boot.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

Trinity Ellis directs a cinematic live promo for Shygirl's Cleo.&nbsp;The atmospheric visual features the artist draped in a magnificent feathered outfit, surrounded by a pastel-infused ethereal space.&nbsp;The performance is both elegant and understated, and the simplicity of the concept feels absorbing throughout.&nbsp;It's a live&nbsp;video which feels both traditional and contemporary - and oozes replay value.&nbsp;

Ben Strebel makes a stunning return to music videos with his wonderful&nbsp;video for Skrillex, Starrah and Four Tet’s new track Butterflies - an impressionistic portrait on the impact of a year of Covid crisis upon a generation, which builds to a simply transcendent&nbsp;climax.With some hugely talented&nbsp;collaborators, including choreographer Holly Blakey, DoP Ben Todd, and the&nbsp;VFX team at Electric Theatre Collective, Strebel channels the frustrations of a generation of youth, whose relationships and&nbsp;opportunies have all been curtailed by the successive lockdowns, into a very contemporary work of visual art.On a London estate, an edgy teenager is a ball of energy as they sit in their room, and when a group of youths gather, the group immediately combine to&nbsp;performing Blakey's intricate, physically demanding choreography. Sheets float in the air, at the Chinese takeaway&nbsp;the youths&nbsp;also play ghosts, covered in sheets - and then the path from gritty reality to heightened sensibility spins into outright&nbsp;fantasy, all within the same concrete world.[imgtoken data:1]The climax of the video is wonderful - and that is partly because you do not see it coming. The kids have now become real ghosts, soaring into the air above the concrete,&nbsp;freed&nbsp;to cavort to the strains of this epic electronic collaboration between Sonny John Moore (aka Skrillex), Keiran Hebden (Four Tet), and Brittany Talia Hazzard (Starrah). This is a brilliantly conceived ballet - created with an ingenious execution of VFX work and camera movement.&nbsp;&nbsp;Strebel has created a wonderful visual for Butterflies, the result of not only his own skill and vision, but the ambition and support of Skrillex. The artist and director&nbsp;had been talking for a long time about working together, and Skrillex took&nbsp;a hands-on approach throughout the process, sanctioning the lengthy&nbsp;period in post production required to make it happen.It was well worth the wait.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Luke Monaghan directs a&nbsp;defiant tale of love lived without regret for Sam Smith's Diamonds.Following their collaborations on <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2019/07/26/sam-smith-how-do-you-sleep-grant-singer/59957#:~:text=Sam%20Smith%20astonishes%20in%20this,era%20of%20shiny%20event%20videos.">How Do You Sleep</a>, <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2017/09/20/sam-smith-too-good-goodbyes-luke-monaghan/49705">Too Good At Goodbyes</a> and <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/10/06/sam-smith-writings-wall-luke-monaghan/37255">Writing's On The Wall</a>, this promo finds Smith&nbsp;in a stripped-out bedroom, dancing their heart out as blinding flashes of light pulsate through the windows.&nbsp;Conceptual and introspective, this is not&nbsp;the first time we've seen Smith take on choreography, but it's definitely a step up in skill and ambition. And the choice to bring in choreographer&nbsp;Holly Blakey is an inspired one, resulting in movements that encapsulate the emotional rollercoaster of the narrative.&nbsp;

Mura Masa ft Ellie Rowsell 'Teenage Headache Dreams' by Marcus Söderlund

Mura-Masa--'Teenage-Headache-Dreams'-by-Marcus-Söderlund

It's a sweltering day in London, and Jorja Smith is kicking back in a swimsuit, surrounded by table fans.Opening in an apartment straight from the pages of a fashion editorial, we follow Jorja from this interior straight to the streets, where she performs in an underground tunnel, making even the most everyday location look exciting.Transitioning from day to night, Jorja takes a surreal journey on a motorbike, the vehicles and buildings around her blending into a hazy background. The red hues of the first scenes switch to deep blue as she arrives at an indoor&nbsp;pool, stripping down and cooling off with the public.&nbsp;The video is loaded with fashion references, the art direction and styling are front and centre, and Johnson's extensive experience with brands such as Nike and Fenty is apparent here. The cinematography by&nbsp;Alexandre Jamin is top-notch, and perfectly complements the concept.&nbsp;

Jorja Smith - Be Honest (feat. Burna Boy)

Holly Blakey explores the shifting balance of relationships and the misplacement of power in her video for rising artist Moss Kena.The director and choreographer blends an abstract psychological drama into a dance performance, with her lead performer (Breanna Box) palpably in the aftermath of a traumatic end-of-relationship event, and looking to find herself again.&quot;Ambiguity, and the idea that we never find where power truly lies, is at the heart of this new video,&quot; says Holly Blakey. &quot;Power moves on and on &ndash; nobody knows where it stops or where it began.&rdquo;The track Square One marks the beginning of mysterious artist Kena&rsquo;s more public career having come up through the Soundcloud underground. The song that is visualised by this strong performance as Kena explains: &quot;It is really about trying to learn from your mistakes. This track marks the start of my next chapter.&quot;
