Otis Dominique and RAYE co-direct the dazzling&nbsp;promo for new track Escapism.&nbsp;Capturing the brutality of post break-up blues and the hedonistic need to escape&nbsp;the reality of being dumped, the video follows the artist as she turns to partying, drinks, drugs and any excuse to forget the heartbreak that's ripping through her.&nbsp;Using a mix of camera techniques and a blurred amalgam of effects, bright lights and a non-linear timeline, it's a bold, unabashed vision that complements the punchy track.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]"We worked really hard to create an honest depiction of where I was at that time in my life,” explains RAYE. “It was fun and wild. We shot it over a couple of days and wore point-of-view cameras during a wild night out at many different clubs. I pushed myself outside of my comfort zone and I ran 150 metres in 5 inch heels. We really took it there! I am really proud of it and hope everyone enjoys the visuals."Otis Dominique also says that he is very happy with the results of his collaboration with RAYE.&nbsp;"I'm so gassed to see this film come out after all the hard work put in from the whole team involved!" he says. "RAYE&nbsp;and (creative director) Mikey's approach to this project really allowed us all to push the limits creatively and make something that hasn't quite been done like this before."The song has so many ups and downs,&nbsp;changes of mood and vibe, so the challenge lay in how to connect these feelings and emotions together through filmmaking and storytelling without being too on the nose."My favourite element of the film is the contrast between our real night out footage and the considered setups we shot inside the exact same locations, truly showing the differences between reality and state of mind. That stuff goes hard and is so trippy!"

Silence directs a wonderfully offbeat promo for Priya Ragu.&nbsp;In the playful yet surreal video for Illuminous,&nbsp;Priya&nbsp;is depicted as four different characters, each of whom&nbsp;abstractly represent&nbsp;Priya's personality, strength, humour and confidence.The film depicts the artist&nbsp;as a champion in a flurry of conceptual vignettes&nbsp;- a leader addressing her army, a success-obsessed bodybuilder, a warrior on her motor war horse, and a regal goddess supported by&nbsp;her Tamil procession.It's a brilliant showcase of Ragu's multifaceted skills as a performer, and the sight of her head on&nbsp;a&nbsp;greased-up&nbsp;bodybuilder's torso might just be the most uncanny thing you see all week...&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

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;

KC Locke's third video this year for AJ Tracey follows the pattern of the first two for Anxious and Little More Love with some exceptional visual invention illustrating the London rapper's lyrical flow. This one is perhaps the most ingenious of the lot, bringing AJ together with T Pain at a summertime pool party - with the American rapper never leaving Atlanta.&nbsp;KC explains below how the miracle of motion control made it happen. But perhaps the most impressive thing is that this became a possibility and then devised and executed, once Covid restrictions meant T-Pain had to be filmed in the US.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

KC Locke creates a brilliant showcase for the talents of AJ Tracey - and his own - in the video for Anxious.With the pacing and production values of a big action movie, Locke takes us through AJ's world. And very aspirational it is too. The car, the restaurant, the girl - and the bird's eye view over the city - it's all presented with a superior level of slickness.And this is also a love letter to London, in a way that will definitely transcend the times in which it was made. As the director explains below, he has used every trick in the book - well, nearly - to make this a convincing epic, to show AJ on top of his world.&nbsp;

Headie One and Aitch unwind in a French hotel - in the middle of London -&nbsp;in KC Locke's exuberant promo for Parlez-Vous Anglais.Living the life of luxury, the artists are shown in a series of opulent rooms, switching from performance to snapshots of the high life - getting a massage, kicking back and watching a fashion show, and getting waited on hand and foot.&nbsp;It's a more relaxed approach in comparison with some of Locke's more action-focused, frenetic work, but his trademark style and energy are all over this concept, taking us into a dreamworld where anything you could ever want is right at your fingertips.&nbsp;

Remi Laudat reimagines '90s lad culture with women at the forefront in the video for JGrrey's&nbsp;For Keeps.With excellent camera movement,&nbsp;vintage clothes styled by Rhiannon Barry, and free-spirited performances, this video portrays a chapter of British culture in a different light. In true lad style, J Grrey ventures to a local pub free from any inhibitions, and laughs, drinks and smokes with her mates.&nbsp;The concept is simple but the idea of flipping the script is inspired, and the combination of ambitious camerawork and low-key VFX round off the project nicely.&nbsp;
