FKA Twigs self-directs this beguiling (and unexpectedly relatable) video for Home With You, a French Exit anthem in which the singer and her friends escape London in the dead of night.When you encounter an artist as distinctive as FKA Twigs, it’s easy to overlook the variety on offer in their output&nbsp;-&nbsp;to imagine each new project as just a small piece of a singular body of work. Over the past seven years, Twigs has developed a very specific mythology, a subversive blend of humanity, warmth and discomfort - encompassed in several key motifs. In a handful of FKA Twigs videos, you can be sure that dance will feature, landscapes will distort, forms will collapse, and inevitably, water will pour.&nbsp;These videos are often so impressive, you can immerse yourself completely in their spectacle without questioning their meaning or motivation. In Andrew Thomas Huang’s video for Cellophane, Twigs climbs a golden pole, attacks a skeletal doppelgänger with her platform shoe, and tumbles into a womb-like mound of red mud. She is then covered in said mud by a pair of masked older women. Who hasn’t been there, right? The narrative is incredibly moving, but at&nbsp;a gut frequency that is difficult to describe. Twigs’ preference for instinctive self-expression pays off.The video for Home With You marks something of a departure, in that it is so direct. Without letting go of her trademark abstractions, Twigs settles on an everyday, low-stakes sensation. Specifically, the urge to get the hell out of Stoke Newington and go home. The video is a kind of triptych, following the singer from the basement of Bar-A-Bar on Kingsland, out to the suburbs in a car with her dancer entourage, and into a smothering, Midsommar-esque community in the countryside.&nbsp;The car sequence, in particular, is a standout in the artist’s oeuvre. The choreography by Twigs and Theo TJ Lowe viscerally captures the complexity of escape. All the excitement, affection and trepidation that accompanies a long journey home. This&nbsp;knotty&nbsp;dynamic between different sensations is at the heart of FKA Twigs’ work, and grounded in the reality, it finds a salient expression in this video.

Prince&#39;s estate has shared a moving video for Mary Don&#39;t You Weep, which &quot;tackles gun violence and its impact on youth in America&quot;, beginning with a quote from the Purple One himself.&nbsp;Directed by Salomon Ligthelm and filmed&nbsp;in New York, it deals with the aftermath of a young man&#39;s death by shooting. The ghost of the young man, and his accompanying angelic guardians, then painfully observes his family&#39;s journey into grief towards his funeral service and final goodbye.&nbsp;Without attempting to go for the heartstring-tugging approach this is a&nbsp;cumulatively&nbsp;emotional piece of work&nbsp;to accompany the stripped-back piano and voice&nbsp;arrangement of Prince&#39;s blues song.&nbsp;And this is&nbsp;the first original Prince music video to be released posthumously.[imgtoken data:1]

Karim Huu Do brings a characteristically intense and experimental approach to his video for Miguel.This charismatic performance of Told You So,&nbsp;captured in numerous formats,&nbsp;is set in a desert where rockets are launching in the distance. A full-blown attack on North Korea perhaps?This counterpoint to Miguel&#39;s sexy R&amp;B is not an instant read, but it&#39;s a strong statement of the artist&#39;s mixing of the upbeat with the political on his new album, War and Leisures.<div>&nbsp;</div>

What seems at first like a conventional music video quickly turns, via&nbsp;a trippy taxi ride and an&nbsp;unpredictable traipse to a bizarro&nbsp;hotel, into something quite different.&nbsp;Nabil&#39;s new&nbsp;9-minute short film-music video&nbsp;for Vince Staples is a journey through he psyche of the rapper.&nbsp;Shot over four&nbsp;days in sweltering Dominican Republic, with photography&nbsp;by British DoP Rina Yang,&nbsp;we follow Vince as he saunters off the set of his latest convenvional&nbsp;music video set, and then things go strange. He crosses paths with dancing tribespeople, before meeting an off-kilter cab driver with special powers.Strange&nbsp;sounds and visions distort his understanding of what&#39;s real, as&nbsp;Vince arrives at a seedy hotel where lost artists are holed up in smokey rooms.&nbsp;And as screaming fans pop in and out of existence,&nbsp;the bamboozled&nbsp;rapper&nbsp;ends up taking extraordinary measures. Is Staples paying the heavy price of fame?&nbsp;We&#39;ll leave the&nbsp;interpretation up to you.&nbsp;

Isaac Ravishankara&#39;s intimate take on blockbuster subject matter for Selah Sue&#39;s Fear Nothing - featuring fellow director Ellis Bahl in an acting role as Selah&#39;s partner - reveals its true nature slowly but surely. What appears at first to be a story about troubled relationships&nbsp;is shown to be the emotional fallout of an altogether bigger catastrophe, as meteorites start to fall across the sky, and a very big rock approaches Earth.Ultimately, in this marvellous video - shot on location at&nbsp;the Stony End Ranch in Three Rivers, CA, with beautiful photography by DoP Sing Howe Yam &ndash; it&#39;s about&nbsp;dignity and courage in the face of Armageddon itself...&nbsp;

Chris Hemming totally gets into the retro spirit of Brit-rockers The Winter Olympics' ode to the 90's with this exciting and wacky promo.
With lots of references to that decade including Furbies and dodgy indie bands, it's the nod to the greatness and much-missed Chart Show (even using their trademark inane captions) that brings a tear to the eye...
