Mitski cannot help but turn the world to ash, in Megan Houang and Jeff Desom's graphically destructive video for The Only Heartbreaker.Mitski is an unwitting destroyer in this tour de force of special effects. Her very touch turns the forest to fire. And things just keep getting worse, until the whole world is in flames.Could she be trying to tell us something?

Andrew Litten explores the paranoia and danger inherent in a chance encounter in his video for LA rapper Nana, featuring Reason.Essentially Litten sets the scene in very cinematic terms - atmospheric black and white cinematography conjures up a long lineage of American filmmaking - while Nana and Reason tell their different sides of the story. It's all about the connections and codes of behaviour that endows an otherwise prosaic event with the potential to burst into deadly violence.This intriguing and compelling&nbsp;work was co-written by Nana and Andrew Litten, and shot in Nana's hometown of Crenshaw, Los Angeles. "The video for LA Times focuses on a universal truth - fear, and how it can consume your mind if you let it," says Litten.&nbsp;"Our concept is hinged on one small moment of Nana walking past the featured artist, Reason of TDE, in the dark, vacant parking lot of the Crenshaw Mall. As Nana weighs his options of how to get out of this small confrontation, Reason begs the audience to understand his side of the story, and how one can be a victim of circumstance."

Vagabon battles the elements in Maegan Houang's wistful vision&nbsp;for&nbsp;In A Bind.&nbsp;The video takes place in a dilapidated house, where the walls are crumbling and nature has started to take over. Vagabon battles a series of obstacles, as earthquakes rumble underneath and the room begins to flood.&nbsp; The artist remains poised throughout, weathering the storm and the emotions that are attached to it.&nbsp;Featuring beautiful art direction and striking cinematography, the poignant video mirrors the&nbsp;vibe of the track, exploring a transcendent space through the use of abstract imagery.&nbsp;Autumn Randolph's styling is also inspired, transforming from a black draped suit to an angelic white dress over the course of the visual, which is very much open to interpretation.The makeup work - from MUAs Erin Pea and Fesa - is also standout, switching from blended hot pink eyeshadow to beaded eyebrows, through to a vibrant blue, echoing the experimental nature of the concept.&nbsp;

Vagabon dances her way through a scattering of ethereal concepts in the video for Water Me Down by&nbsp;Maegan Houang. Opening in a wash of blue hues, Vagabon is sat upon two dancer's feet, which twitch and move to the beat whilst she performs to camera.This pattern continues as we move through vaporwave inspired art direction, a room packed ceiling to floor with various plants and a stripped back forest studio scene. It's a simple idea executed at the highest level. Vagabon is confident and tackles the choreography with ease, and the two dancers&nbsp;complement her perfectly.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Maegan Houang&nbsp;explores the fine&nbsp;line between cult religion, sex&nbsp;and horror in her absorbing video for Brooklyn power pop outfit Charly Bliss.Counter to the songtitle Chatroom, this is all about a rejection of modern values, in favour of some very dubious old ones. The band&#39;s lead singer Eva Hendricks plays the girl in a cult made up of women, who all vie for&nbsp;the attention of the charismatic cult leader.She soon catches his eye. But what lies ahead when she&#39;s chosen to be his next wife? Then we really get&nbsp;the dark side.&nbsp;
