Mae Stephens is searching for a way out in Elliot Simpson's dazzling promo for If We Ever Broke Up.&nbsp;It's the viral alt-pop hit you've been hearing everywhere from TikTok to H&amp;M's dressing rooms, and it finally comes complete with a brilliant visual from Simpson and team.&nbsp;In the video, we see Mae devise fresh ways to escape from her overwhelming boyfriend - from poisoning his tea to letting him float away tied to a set of balloons - and from that spark of an idea, a hilarious, eccentric visual ensues.&nbsp;Offbeat and irreverent in its style, it's a perfect visual introduction to the artist (for those who have the track in their heads all day long, but may not know the person behind it yet) and it's a promise of more fun to come in future releases.

Toby L rings in a bold new era of Foals with the textural promo for Life Is Yours.&nbsp;In a spacious studio setting, the band play in a circular formation, whilst red and blue lighting pulsates in various patterns.&nbsp;The lively performance is captured through fluid camera movements and ambitious perspectives, which amplifies the unique aesthetic.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]"The music lends itself to sudden tonal shifts and striking colours," says Toby L."I recently found myself watching Fantasia for the first time in some years and was hypnotised by the silouhettes and palette from the orchestra and conductor scenes - it felt like it’d be an appropriate jumping off point for placing a contemporary band performance within."We opted for setting them up in the round to showcase a different side to what you’d typically see from them onstage. Resonating with the song’s underlying theme, it’s a simplistic portrayal and embodiment of finding the light when battling through the dark."

Simon Lane directs a second, one-take live performance for Bastille's slot on&nbsp;The Late Late Show with James Corden.Give Me The Future gets a sci-fi inspired post apocalyptic treatment set within a beautifully faded art deco theatre.&nbsp;Frontman Dan Smith traverses the enigmatic location, revealing backup singers and then the rest of the group performing&nbsp;in the main section of the venue.&nbsp;The burnt orange lighting evokes an otherworldly&nbsp;Martian vibe, and the dystopian styling elevates this aesthetic.&nbsp;

Jordan Rossi directs a cathartic promo for Sir Tom Jones, featuring actor/dancer Iain Mackay.&nbsp;The track is a&nbsp;reversioning of the&nbsp;Bob Dylan song, and touches&nbsp;upon&nbsp;frank realisations about growing old, whilst still evoking a sense of positivity.The video focusses upon Mackay as a solitary drinker in a dive bar, chugging back the beers whilst&nbsp;lost in painful&nbsp;thought. As Sir Tom and the Dylan-penned track get going, his spirits start to improve. Soon he is off the barstool,&nbsp;dancing&nbsp;around the venue, leaving no part of the room untouched.&nbsp;And then, after reclaiming his sense of self, he leaves - driving off in a vintage Pontiac.[imgtoken data:1]"The concept for Not Dark Yet represented something very unique to me - even in the harrowing nature of this awareness of being near the end of your life there is a kernel of positivity that I wanted to hone in on," says Rossi."I remember writing in the treatment that you're never too old to have some fun and that's exactly what this is. No matter where life has taken you to you can always find a bit of fun somewhere. Particularly in the music."I really wanted to ensure that the video had some emotionality to it. I tried to imbue the video with every inch of detail that I could, some aspect that everyone would recognise in themselves. Whether that's the down-and-out start or the carefree climax or simply a love of music that is splashed across the entire piece.[imgtoken data:2]"I couldn't have completed the video without our protagonist Iain Mackay, ex-principal dancer from the Birmingham Royal Ballet, who came in at the last minute - literally the night before the shoot - and absolutely understood what we were trying to achieve."But also [DoP] Luke Scully who helped develop the visual style with me, Elle [Lotherington, 1st AD] who kept us on track throughout a tricky day and Natricia [Bernard, choreographer] whose energy and ingenuity never cease to amaze me."Scully's cinematography, including the use of&nbsp;different overlays and digital grain creates a slightly gritty and timeless feel.&nbsp;"The visual style takes inspiration from 1970s B-Movies and the Grindhouse genre, popularised in recent years by the likes of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez," says Rossi.&nbsp;"But I chose to swap the action-packed gore for an upbeat two-step."

Elliot Simpson joins forces with Joel Corry for another high concept affair, this time for I Wish, featuring Mabel.&nbsp;Inside a clandestine industrial building, a series of characters walk around with a digital timecode following them around, counting down second by second.The contestants perform tasks to boost their time left in this futuristic reality show, and if the clock is allowed to hit zero, they're out.&nbsp;The Netflix smash hit&nbsp;Squid Game definitely has inspired the concept, but Simpson has put his own spin on the dystopian reality genre, with a glossy aesthetic and brilliant performances from both artists - and a very absorbing narrative to boot.&nbsp;&nbsp;
