Dumas Haddad celebrates Priya Ragu's vibrant take on her Sri Lankan heritage in this blazingly colourful&nbsp;video for Chicken Lemon Rice.Having worked with the singer on two other songs in a live session for the Live At The Archives series, Haddad - recently signed to FAMILIA for music videos - shot the official video for&nbsp;Chicken Lemon Rice in a beautifully dramatic and damaged house over in West London, close to where Priya was isolating during her stay in the UK before Christmas.&nbsp;With an emphasis on Priya's charismatic performance, supported by a glamourous cast of extras&nbsp;and a stunning take on South Asian fashion, Haddad delivers an exciting visual flavour to the singer's&nbsp;blend of East and West musical styles.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FAMILIA head of music Ryan Morgan says the inspiration behind the aesthetic of the video came out of conversations between the Priya, Haddad, management, label commissioners Dom McKiernon and Lottie Llewellyn, and himself. "It was clear from the very beginning that Priya wanted to showcase her Sri Lankan heritage in the most organic way by introducing certain colour palettes, dance movements and art elements to accent the details of the vibrancy of Sri Lankan culture," he explains.[imgtoken data:1]"Dumas and Priya collaborated on boards with art director Jade Adeyemi and stylist Neesha Tulsi Champaneria to make sure we included authentic textures, fabrics and patterns throughout the set design and outfits for each character within the video."Dumas Haddad adds:&nbsp;“Collaborating with Priya and her team was beyond enriching, as we were able to shape our vision together to create a collective consciousness around the video."The song has a beautiful blend of styles and Priya’s heritage, so we were certainly keen to touch on these flavours on screen, in a unique and exciting blend. Our aim was to create a visual that was true to Priya whilst pushing our boundaries."

Libby Burke Wilde captures Jessie Buckley in this rousingly dramatic performance video, for a song taken from the forthcoming feature film&nbsp;Wild Rose.A fine actress - as she has shown on TV in&nbsp;Taboo&nbsp;and other shows, and in the BAFTA-winning movie&nbsp;Beast&nbsp;- Buckley&nbsp;not surprisingly commands the screen here. But it also demonstrates she has a real voice.It begins with her disconsolately propping up the bar in a sparsely populated Glasgow pub. But when the band kick off the classic country blues-rock of Country Girl, she starts to accompany them, from her barstool. The anger in her delivery drives her&nbsp;towards the stage. And when she gets up to join the band,&nbsp;she&#39;s in seventh Heaven.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Plested 'Ribcage' by Daniel Alexander Harris

Plested--'Ribcage-(pt-Ii)-'-by-Daniel-Alexander-Harris

Daniel Alexander Harris&#39;s video for Plested tells the story of &#39;Leon&#39;, a young man who is dedicating his life to his art - but also working as a kitchen porter to make a living, juggling his dreams with reality.In fact, it&#39;s the supporting cast that do as much to turn this small tale into a direct hit: the boy&#39;s&nbsp;ballet teacher,&nbsp;the abusive café boss, an embittered symbol of failed dreams, and the waitress who adores him, are all more fully drawn that he is.This is the first part of a two-part narrative for Plested, so its going to be fascinating to see how the excellent video for Back Up Plan pans out.&nbsp;

Felix Brady has achieved an ingenious snapshot of London life for Col3trane.&nbsp;Zooming in and out on house parties, hangouts on rooftops, kids setting off fireworks in parks - Brady captures the vibrancy of the city in a continuous shot from a high vantage point. And then&nbsp;he gets&nbsp;Col3trane in a variety of locations within the single shot. That&rsquo;s clever - he explains how it&rsquo;s done below.&ldquo;The song is playful,&rdquo; Cole says. &ldquo;And the video is a party; all positive, all fun. I&rsquo;m proud we made something that looks and feels like London.&rdquo; &nbsp;

We&#39;ve all been there - concentrating and investing so hard in something only to have it ripped out from under us by a cruel twist of fate. Ewan Jones Morris and Casey Raymond&#39;s video for Lemaitre&#39;s&nbsp;Closer - their first together since their MVA-winning video for <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/08/11/leftfield-sleaford-mods-head-and-shoulders-ewan-casey" target="_blank">Leftfield &amp; Sleaford Mods&#39; Head &amp; Shoulders</a>&nbsp;last year &ndash; displays the hilarious catharsis of acting on those impulses.Even when you know exactly what&#39;s coming, this setup and punchline-style video is still be a fun and rewarding watch. Frankly, any video that manages to mix beautiful visuals with the cartoonish scenario of a strongman throwing a hapless, trumpet-playing schoolboy across a room is a huge, hilarious win.
