French-Cuban sister duo Ibeyi scale the desert with Jorja Smith, in&nbsp;Lucrecia Taormina's captivating promo for Lavender and Red Roses.&nbsp;We see the artists trek through the midst of a sandy landscape, following the line of a rope to a well in the middle of the desert. They pour a jug full of lavender and red rose petals into the well - where, at the bottom a&nbsp;mysterious masked man digs further downwards.&nbsp;Arguably this&nbsp;abstract narrative explores themes of femininity and divine energy, suggesting it is time to 'cut the cord', and stop relying on women to pull up men who are not actively helping themselves or looking for ways to improve their own situation. But&nbsp;the&nbsp;beauty of the visual, the magic of Taormina' concept,&nbsp;lies in the various ways in which to read the unfolding action.[imgtoken data:1]Taormina weaves this ambiguous and metaphorical&nbsp;tale in her characteristic&nbsp;hyperreal style - not in a real desert, we suspect, but a very convincing studio and VFX-created approximation of one. A certain episode of&nbsp;Squid Game&nbsp;may also springs to mind while watching this too.[imgtoken data:2]Once distracted by the petals, the man stops digging, and grabs the rope.&nbsp;Initially, the women&nbsp;pull with all their strength, to help&nbsp;him to climb up, but... then the rope is cut.[imgtoken data:3]

Otis Dominique presents a darkly romantic vision for VX Duse's prism.&nbsp;Taking inspiration from the song's title, the chromatic, hypnotic aesthetic contains an abstract narrative, focused on love, exploration and nightlife.&nbsp;&nbsp;Interweaving intimate indoor vignettes with a portrait of the haunting streets outside, the video meditates on stepping outside your&nbsp;comfort zone, and grabbing what it is you want firmly with both hands.&nbsp;

Ray Blk gets revenge on a cheating boyfriend in Matt Walker's provocative video for In My Bed. Opening in a stylised prison holding room, Ray and a gang of girls are getting their mugshots taken, before we cut right back to the scene of the crime.In a neon-lit car in a residential street, Ray witnesses her boyfriend&nbsp;with another girl. The group get out&nbsp;and arm themselves with heavy chains and baseball bats, before charging off into the night. Returning with a rolled up carpet, it's evident what has happened. But will they get away with it?David Wright's cinematography elevates the simple concept, using neon light to contrast Ray and the group against the dim residential location, and the styling and subtle art direction help turn quite a dark idea into something more accessible and commercial. &nbsp;

In amongst the grinding monotony of public transport, have you ever seen somebody so perfect in your eyes that you&#39;ve fallen in love on the spot? Then James Slater&#39;s video for The Him will be for you.Telling a love story simply through bus rides, Slater&#39;s video uses the bus as a literal vehicle for a young couple&#39;s relationship as it grows stronger. Managing to create a successful emotional narrative in such a confined, familiar and dreary space and keep it interesting for 3 minutes is no small feat, and Slater pulls it off with accomplished grace.

The Him ft. LissA 'I Wonder' by James Slater

The Him - I Wonder (Official Video) ft. LissA

Circa Waves have released new single Fire That Burns with a fun and entertaining&nbsp;video by James Slater taking place on a&nbsp;murder mystery film set - including a cameo by beloved Game Of Thrones actor Isaac Hempstead Wright&nbsp;aka Bran Stark.What originally looks like an Italian giallo movie breaks out of its mould into a frenzied narrative taking place on set, where the viewer is presented with a disorientatingly quick succession of sequences, both part of the film narrative and &#39;real&#39;.&nbsp;And these distinctions then blur, as the actor&nbsp;who plays the serial murderer (who&#39;s played by Circa Waves frontman Kieran Shudall)&nbsp;actually begins&nbsp;to&nbsp;crack. Haunted by flashbacks of his fictional murder victims and feverish visions of antique portaits and busts following him with their gaze, the crazed sequence leads&nbsp;to a surprising ending that you can&#39;t predict!&nbsp;&nbsp;
