Ama Lou teams up with her sister Mahalia John - as Marlzama Films - to direct a moody updating of the musicals of the 1950's, for&nbsp;her new single Silence.The atmospheric promo captures the essence of old musical classics whilst transforming it into something contemporary and fresh, supported by slick cinematography and ambitious weather effects.&nbsp;Mesh Henry's hard-hitting choreography is the central focus of the video, and combined with Lou's natural stage presence,&nbsp; elevates the performance to&nbsp;stratospheric heights.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2][imgtoken data:3]

A fantastical beast&nbsp;is on the run in Jess Kohl's offbeat promo for Heartbreaker - and it's up to Birdy to find and take care of him.The artist is shown cleaning tables at a&nbsp;cafe&nbsp;under the watchful eye of the owner, and it isn't long until a news alert pops up on the TV screen that mentions the beast. That night, the creature visits Birdy at her house, and she takes it upon herself to protect him, right until a twist at the end.&nbsp;The anachronistic aesthetic - which blends 90s public access TV clips and 70s art direction - gives the video an unearthly vibe, which is elevated by brilliant creature effects and an intriguing&nbsp;narrative that doesn't end quite the way you expect it to.&nbsp;

Luis Hindman returns with another mesmerising visual for Joesef, this time in the form of a three-part live film, where the Scottish soul singer performs songs from his debut album, Permanent Damage, released in January.Set in the same world as the excellent series of videos directed by Hindman for tracks from&nbsp;the album,&nbsp;the film takes place in the fictional 'Apartment 22' - a place&nbsp;referenced in the album, where Joesef has been stranded by a past lover.&nbsp;Shot on 16mm, the video was shot by Jake Gabbay, and is comprised of subtle Steadicam shots by&nbsp;Justin Theodore as Joesef and his band perform three songs: Joe, Borderline and Just Come Home With Me Tonight.The textural, almost surreal aesthetic perfectly contrasts the intimate live performance, and the concept as a whole is a brilliant extension to the universe Hindman and the artist have so lovingly brought to life.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Gabriel Moses directs a powerful short film for Little Simz.&nbsp;The promo for No Thank You feature segments from five songs from the new album, and presents a powerful sequence of emotional vignettes, each tied to the lyrics of the track in an inventive, elevated way.&nbsp;The thematic landscape of the album centres on distrust in record labels, mental health and generational trauma, and these themes are weaved into the spectacular imagery across this ten-minute film.&nbsp;Switching between a heavily&nbsp;abstract, sometimes surreal style, and stripped back performance to camera, Simz is here to get her message across in a bold, unabashed way, and this surprise release is another example of her unmistakeable talent across music, visuals and music culture as a whole.&nbsp;

Little Simz 'No Thank You' by Gabriel Moses

NO THANK YOU

Multi-hyphenate creative Wesley Joseph self-directs the etheral promo for Monsoon.&nbsp;As with Joseph's self-directed video&nbsp;for Thrilla last year,&nbsp;it's presented as a series of poetic vignettes, and imbued with a sense of otherworldly energy, exploring character and concept through dazzling costumes and slick styling.&nbsp;Without a narrative to tie things together, the abstract visual is instead left open to interpretation, and exudes a magical, fantastical vibe throughout. It's fantastic work, and&nbsp;absolutely stunning to look at.&nbsp;

Filmawi has directed a beautiful conceptual piece for Jvck James's soulful&nbsp;Hennessy Tears.Starting with a flock of birds flying through a clear blue sky, the camera pans to Jvck James, walking on desert-like ground, and performing the song about being overwhelmed by love with real feeling. The camera moves ahead of him, and as Jvck addresses the lens&nbsp;for the first time, stardust particles begin to flow from the singer.The particles coming from Jvck are echoed by the birds above, and then Filmawi adds another surprising element - the camera is a the person that Jvck is singing to. That adds another layer to the already captivating song and video, elevating the theme of all-encompassing&nbsp;love.

Birdman meet UK rap as we see Asher D walking through a one-take rehearsal for a play - only for&nbsp;reality and fantasy to&nbsp;start to spill into one another - in Filmawi's riveting video for Dat's A Wrap.Beginning with a theatre director screaming at a runner as the camera slowly pans out to reveal a whole production with crew, with some trying to calm the situation down. In the middle of everything Asher appears on-screen, calm and&nbsp;smooth as ever. He moves through the scene&nbsp;performing the track to the camera, describing his film career. He keeps his interactions&nbsp;with the surrounding cast to a minimum - even when one has a medical emergency.Filmawi excels in putting the viewer in a position where they feel familiar with the situation, only to flip the script in a perfectly-timed surreal moment at the climax.&nbsp;Watch again to look out for clues... the ending makes it one to remember.&nbsp;

Simon Lane directs an ethereal dance-based promo for singer-songwriter&nbsp;Sandrayati Fay.The video is simple in concept - expressing a New Dawn, delicately expressed through movement - yet the tender cinematography by Jake Gabbay, shooting on 16mm, and Lane's considered direction ensure this is an absorbing piece of work.&nbsp;Everything from the art direction to the choreography is inspired by Sandrayati's connection to home, which creates an intimate connection and another layer to the emotional compexity of the project.&nbsp;

Rianne White is back with the final promo in a three-part series for Winnie Raeder.&nbsp;The video seamlessly transitions from the final frame of <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/04/28/winnie-raeder-promised-love-rianne-white/76090" target="_blank">Promised Love - Part Two of the trilogy</a> -&nbsp;and shows the camera stalking towards the artist as she performs, before spinning to reveal&nbsp;a large studio space, with theatrical art direction elements and the smashed pottery from the previous chapter of the concept.&nbsp;"It was so freeing to be fully immersed in this world we created on set," says White.&nbsp;"The entire process with Winnie across this project has been fuelled by such honest and personal observations of inner worlds. Finding the nerve in it all, entangled in our own physical and emotional bodies."This third and final part brings us full circle. Let’s feel it!!"&nbsp;

Seb Tabe directs a vérité-style insight into a typical day in the life of Theodor Black, in the promo for Top Down.&nbsp;We see Theodor and his friends venture through the streets of London, hanging out and causing havoc, before settling down in the studio in the evening.&nbsp;Whether hijacking&nbsp;a pizza delivery driver's motorcycle or on the run from the police, the group thrive on the rush and thrill of their mischief, and these situations are perfectly encapsulated in a short film structure.&nbsp;

Rianne White follows the enigmatic visual for Winnie Raeder's <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/03/28/winnie-raeder-end-me-rianne-white/75581">The End Of Me</a> with Promised Love, the second promo in a three-part series.&nbsp;The video opens with a slow pull-out from a piece of priceless pottery, which slowly tumbles and shatters in slow-motion. The interconnectedness of the concept is highlighted by the use of the same shots to end one video and begin another, and a separate vignette suggests this will be the case for the third and final promo as well.&nbsp;The arresting imagery is stripped-back yet very effective, and remains open to interpretation.&nbsp;"Promised Love (Part 2) was truly the most humbling process to trust and believe in this vision," says Rianne White. "There is so much I could say about this film, but the real beauty of it is bringing this moment to the audience to find their own meaning within it."It's powerful to remind ourselves how we really feel and connect when we slow down and listen."&nbsp;&nbsp;

Rianne White directs the first of three visuals for London-based&nbsp;Winnie Raeder's new EP, with&nbsp;a minimalist and near abstract piece for The End Of Me.&nbsp;The video explores connection and comfort, visualised through two pairs of hands entangled in twine, attempting to reach each other and free themselves from their binding. Rianne White explains that the idea came from the clarity&nbsp;of Raeder's delivery of her music.&nbsp;"Winnie has a sound that grants you access to your inner world and has you locked in a dance with yourself as you feel every word and note of it," she reflects.&nbsp;"We spoke about connection, feeling uncomfortable, playing with the nerve in the song - a place where you can be both fearless and vulnerable, consumed by a gas leak effect of your own emotions. Let’s sit still, and really feel it."The focus upon this symbolic imagery, and infusion of emotion perfectly match the downtempo track. It's an intriguing introduction to the video series.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Aliyah Otchere directs a contemplative promo for&nbsp;Ravyn Lenae.Using her considerable experience in photography as a foundation, Otchere presents a series of gentle performance vignettes, each with its own distinctive look and feel.&nbsp;Stylistically exploring space, light and texture, the video perfectly encapsulates the soft harmonies in the track, whilst navigating a transition of sorts from hanging in limbo to being grounded and confident.&nbsp;
