Symone Ridgell presents Joey Bada$$ in beefcake mode for the sultry Fallin'.Blending a photographic, dreamlike aesthetic and an alluring performance, the video is a sensual ride that matches the lilting track - and sees Joey channelling his gentle side, kicking back to smell the roses.“Joey and I collaborated on the idea of a surrealistic set, by mounting the bed onto a wall and keeping everything in-camera," explains Ridgell."We leaned into the ways in which falling in love can feel like being high and coming down. Since there’s no romantic interest in the video, the rose is both the feminine and our symbolic drug."Joey lights the flower on fire, sniffs, and coughs it up. Overall, Fallin’&nbsp;is a tone poem that explores the contrasting and complex ways in which falling for someone can feel either horrifying or spectacular. It’s your choice of which high to ride.”

Quinn Wilson directs an evocative promo for King Princess (aka Mikaela Straus), encompassing two tracks - Too Bad &amp; Cursed.&nbsp;In an enigmatic bar, we see the artist partying with friends - as well as performing on stage - as she slowly starts to embrace her flaws and practice self-love.&nbsp;A surreal transition bridges the gap between the two tracks, with&nbsp;Straus slow-dancing with a stripped-back, naked version of herself, bringing a literal interpretation of the themes to the forefront of the visual.&nbsp;

Nick Harwood directs a perceptive narrative video for King Princess - aka singer-songwriter Mikaela&nbsp;Straus.&nbsp;With creative direction by Quinn Wilson, the video for For My Friends resembles a portrait of the artist's teenage self and her sometimes volatile relationship&nbsp;with her best friends, played on-screen by&nbsp;Alex Consani and Laine Philipps.&nbsp;A superbly unfiltered perspective on friendship, emotional connection and youth, the video is shot in a raw, authentic fashion, following the overlooked&nbsp;minutiae of hanging out with the people you love the most, with all its ups and downs.&nbsp;The filmic cinematography and energy feel comfortable and timely, and will remind viewers of the imperfect yet essential connections in their own lives.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

24kGldn goes on a wild ride in Austin Peters' promo for 3,2,1.&nbsp;Reflecting on a relationship falling apart, the video presents a pastiche&nbsp;of hallucinatory performance vignettes, focusing on the artist's relationship with a mystery love interest, played by&nbsp;Charlotte Free.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Chris Probst matches the high-energy affair with plenty of fluid camerawork, and a spattering of intense visual effects adds a layer of absurdity to the concept.&nbsp;

Brian Petchers employs a multitude of simple, effective VFX, and both 2D and 3D&nbsp;animation to take his uplifting video for Quinn XCII and Logic to the next level.The New York-based director helmed the video remotely, and has managed to capture both artists in their sunny, cinematic&nbsp;locales in 'golden hour' light. While the 2D animation also provides useful cover for guest artist Logic's non-lipsync appearance.

Aaron Beckum directs this heartbreaker for Grandaddy, starring Jonah Ray of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 and an insistent office chair.The clip follows Jonah Ray&#39;s character at the end of a painful breakup, as he discards the things that remind him of his now-ex-girlfriend (office chair included) and wallows in a pit of despair. The office chair, however, has other ideas and takes Jonah on a journey to reconnect with his former love. Sadly, things don&#39;t quite go as planned.Sad and funny in equal measure, the video takes on an extra emotional weight with the recent passing of Grandaddy bassist Kevin Garcia - and a subtle but touching poster tribute to Garcia can be seen in the first half of this video. I&#39;m not crying, you&#39;re crying.

American producer&nbsp;Dillon Francis has released this comedic catwalk-inspired video directed by&nbsp;Brother Willis&nbsp;for his song Anywhere, featuring British singer Will Heard.It sees the artists performing from&nbsp;an unusual place,&nbsp;sown into the&nbsp;fluffiest and most frivolous garments during a fashion photoshoot. It&#39;s quite the fun,&nbsp;tongue-in-cheek video proposal inspired by the&nbsp;lyric &#39;I&#39;ll take you anywhere I go,&#39; where the artists literally&nbsp;become portable&nbsp;model&nbsp;accessories.&nbsp;

He&#39;s been prolific recently, including his video for gravity-defying <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2016/06/15/m%C3%B8-final-song-mister-whitmore" target="_blank">MØ&#39;s Final Song</a>. Now Tomas (aka Mister) Whitmore has directed a corker&nbsp;for Dillon Francis&#39;s Candy. It&#39;s minimal and&nbsp;colourful, and most importantly it features a brilliant contemporary&nbsp;pas de deux by the dancers Ryan Spencer and Denna Thomsen.Choreographed by&nbsp;Nina McNeely, this stunning routine&nbsp;from Spencer and longtime Ryan Heffington associate Thomsen (her previous work includes&nbsp;partnering&nbsp;Shai LeBeouf in the video for <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2012/06/19/sigur-ros-%E2%80%98fjogur-piano%E2%80%99-alma-har%E2%80%99el" target="_blank">Sigur Ros&#39;s Fjogur Piano</a>)&nbsp;is expressive, provocative, funny, and, well, quite weird.It&#39;s&nbsp;riveting, and climaxes with&nbsp;a kooky head-body&nbsp;swap, which sort of reflects Thomsen&#39;s dominance.&nbsp;And Mister Whitmore, excelling in a different visual style,&nbsp;shows he is versatile as well as prolific.

New York indie pop duo&nbsp;Chairlift have released a&nbsp;touching new&nbsp;video directed by&nbsp;Allie Avital, for&nbsp;Crying In Public.&nbsp;And not unlike the image in&nbsp;Man Ray&#39;s photograph&nbsp;&#39;Larmes (Tears)&#39; shot in 1930, the video focuses on a&nbsp;collection of glassy tears&nbsp;adorning&nbsp;lead singer&nbsp;Caroline Polachek&#39;s&nbsp;face. We follow our heavyhearted singer through the streets of New York&nbsp;as she inspects the natural tears formed by winter&#39;s frost&nbsp;thawing away,&nbsp;while still more tears collect on her face. And although her lyrics suggest that she is sorry for causing a scene, she&nbsp;never&nbsp;wipes the tears&nbsp;away,&nbsp;accepting the&nbsp;feeling of vulnerability without any shame.&nbsp;
