Nathan James Tettey directs a slick promo for Fredo's Flowers &amp; The Snow.&nbsp;We see the artist perform as the camera seamlessly pivots around the space, while the extravagant backdrops switch between an icy wonderland, experiencing an interior blizzard,&nbsp;and Fredo's&nbsp;inner sanctum bursting with homegrown buds. No, he's not really talking about the wonders of nature here.The video boasts high-end art direction from production designer Jakob Grierse, impressive cinematography by&nbsp;Jomar O’Meally, and a number of scantily-clad females. But this is really about the mesmerising charisma of Fredo. One of his best videos so far.&nbsp;

Dir. Lx is making waves online with his playful performance promo for Russmillions' Big Shark.&nbsp;The eagerly awaited track is paired with a mesmerisingly colourful visual, featuring the artist in several different vignettes - one of which depicts a child with Russmillions' full-sized head, and a penchant for everything shark-themed.&nbsp;Featuring cameos from&nbsp;DJ Cuppy and Stefflon Don, the video encapsulates the frenetic energy of the track with pulsating blue lights and restless camerawork, and more than a hint of absurdist fun splashed within the concept.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

A classic band road trip descends into a night of kidnapping and burglary, in The Rest's adrenaline-fuelled promo for Beabadoobee.&nbsp;Maintaining the same late 90's/early 00's aesthetic as her&nbsp;videography to date, the video for Cologne&nbsp;has a dark, dreamlike aesthetic, and is cast&nbsp;with a group of the artist's real-life friends.DoP&nbsp;Sam Meyer complements the gritty action film aesthetic with high contrast lighting and plenty of shadows, and a colour palette that leans towards cool blues and grimy greens, staying true to the genre.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Continuing their longstanding collaboration with Noel Gallagher, Dan Cadan and Jonathan 'Scully' Mowatt continue where they&nbsp;left off in the previous promo&nbsp;<a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/05/17/noel-gallaghers-high-flying-birds-were-our-way-now-dan-cadan-jonathan-scully/70884">We're On Our Way Now&nbsp;</a>, exploring the lives&nbsp;of lovers in a nouvelle vague-flavoured London, played by Matt Smith and Gala Gordon.Flying On The Ground builds upon the enigmatic narrative of the previous video, with plenty of improvised scenes and visual nods to French-wave films A Bout De Souffle&nbsp;and&nbsp;Bande A Part.&nbsp;Whether or not viewers are familiar with the French new wave&nbsp;is less important&nbsp;than the compelling performances and suggestion of a plot combine to create something absorbing to watch. And certainly&nbsp;Noel Gallagher's cameo role in the film&nbsp;becoming more significant - particularly in the fate of the Matt Smith character.[imgtoken data:1] &nbsp;

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds 'Flying On The Ground' by Dan Cadan & Jonathan 'Scully' Mowatt

Noel-Gallagher's-High-Flying-Birds-'Flying-On-The-Ground'-by-Dan-Cadan-&-Jonathan-'scully'-Mowatt

Dan Cadan and Jonathan 'Scully' Mowatt's latest video for Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds&nbsp;brings the French nouvelle vague&nbsp;to modern London, and as with previous work for Noel, features a big name cast: Matt Smith and Gala Gordon play the lovers in a story inspired directly by Godard's Breathless.The video for We're On Our Way Now provides a snapshot of the lives of the couple, where an ambivalence and darkness lurks under the surface of a true romance. The directors also leave enough to the viewer's imagination to try to piece together a bigger story.As with the Jean-Paul Belmondo character in Breathless, Matt Smith is mixed up with some shady goings-on - either working for, or possibly against Noel Gallagher, who features in a cameo as a gangland figure. Smith bring depth to the part and is ideally cast. Both he and Gordon - her second video for Gallagher - are both captured wonderfully in a timeless-looking London by Danish DoP&nbsp;Niels Reedtz Johansen.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Greg Hackett directs a neon-lit, conceptual fantasy for Sad Night Dynamite.&nbsp;The video opens with the duo traversing the city in a white limo - a repeating&nbsp;metaphor from previous visuals - as a night of fun soon spirals out of control, leading them to an unplanned destination.&nbsp;Adric Watson's cinematography combines artificial lighting with unfamiliar angles and composition, creating an elevated yet garish aesthetic. And that is perfectly suited to the abstract concept.&nbsp;

Nathan James Tettey channels a powerful grime superhero concept in his video for Ghetts' team-up with Stormzy on Skengman - with a little help from&nbsp;RUFFMERCY.Tettey weaves the charismatic performance of the two artists - with Ghetts in his Ghetto persona - into a narrative of stylised violence and retribution, delivered in a stark monochromatic vision akin to the darkest of superhero action movies, or Frank Miller's Sin City series.Cameo appearances by D Double E, Mist, Shaybo, and martial artist Michael 'Venom'&nbsp;Page also contribute to the idea of an alternative&nbsp;league of superheroes emerging on dangerous streets to protect the city - and this is sealed by a wonderful edit by Ollie Paxton, and work by the VFX team at Untold Studios.&nbsp;The final graphic flourish by the inimitable Russ Murphy aka RUFFMERCY completes the job. Having won an UKMVA for the video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/07/15/ghetts-ft-jaykae-moonchild-sannelly-mozambique-ruffmercy/66568" target="_blank">Ghetts' Mozambique</a>, his contribution on the third video for the rapper's highly anticipated new album Conflict Of Interest adds an understated element of comicbook-style fantasy&nbsp;to what is an already very strong piece. Sets the bar high on marquee grime videos for the coming year.

Oliver Jennings directs an energetic, neon-hued promo for Sigala and James Arthur.&nbsp;Speeding down the road in the backseat of a luxury Rolls Royce, Arthur performs as a convoy of vehicles make a formation, heading in the same direction.&nbsp;Eventually congregating under a storm of fireworks and pyrotechnics, the passengers enjoy the opportunity to socialise (in a socially-distanced way, of course) and experience the feel-good vibes together."Taking a crew out of London into Millbrook Proving Ground, Milton Keynes was well worth the trip. Milbrook were very accommodating and enabled us to achieve the creative," says Oliver Jennings.&nbsp;"With fireworks, action vehicles and&nbsp;aerial teams there was a lot to navigate from a production side, whilst also following the COVID-19 rules."&nbsp;Wonderfully vibrant, the video is an ambitious interpretation of the bouncy track, anchored by Arthur's understated performance.&nbsp;

Silent Tapes direct an atmospheric video for London Grammar's comeback.&nbsp;The concept for Californian Soil is an enigmatic meditation on taking control of your own life, with abstract vignettes taking place across the coast and within a beach house.&nbsp;A handful of characters, including London Grammar singer Hannah Reid, are situated in idealised, glamorous scenarios. They are picture perfect - but something is not quite right, and the discordant visual&nbsp;hints of strangeness becoming increasingly obvious.The narrative is purposefully vague, allowing viewers to inject their own meaning and decipher the visuals, but one thing is for certain - it's an ambitious, emotionally affecting promo with a unique mood and vibe, perfectly suited to the indie-pop threesome.&nbsp;

SL traverses an overgrown, abandoned Britain in Oliver Jennings' video for Little Bird.&nbsp;Focusing on performance and striking set pieces, the visual jumps from a futuristic tropical apartment to rural landscapes inhabited by flocks of sheep, before moving on to the deserted streets of London.&nbsp;Charmingly offbeat and paying homage to a variety of different genres and concepts, SL thrives in each of the vignettes, bringing lots of confidence and presence to each scene.&nbsp;
