Eyelar is stuck in a loop of jealous comparison, in Thomas Davis' fantastic&nbsp;promo for Obsessed With Your Ex.&nbsp;In a handful of slick yet grimy vignettes, we see Eyelar stalking her boyfriend's ex over the internet, in her imagination and in a hauntingly surreal support group setting.&nbsp;Injected with Davis' keen eye for edgy pop aesthetics, the video is a rip-roaring good time with a brilliant central performance and a captivating dreamworld environment... and the ending will leave viewers questioning just how far Eyelar will go to keep her boyfriend's eyes solely on her.[imgtoken data:1]

Following Ducrot's stunning rendition of <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/12/20/cian-ducrot-w-royal-northern-college-music-student-choir-hallelujah-live-simon/79776">Hallelujah</a>, Slane directs a second live promo with support&nbsp;from The Royal Northern College Of Music Student Choir - this time for I'll Be Waiting.&nbsp;The artist performs at a piano in the confines of a Victorian swimming pool, whilst the camera glides effortlessly around him, eventually revealing the twenty-piece choir situated on the viewing platforms above.&nbsp;Filmed twice to allow for a dramatic lighting change, the video is an absorbing and atmospheric piece of work, that captures the emotion of the track and the magic of the moment in stunning detail.&nbsp;

Simon Lane directs an impressive one-take all-live promo for Cian Ducrot's version of Leonard Cohen's classic Hallelujah.&nbsp;Featuring the&nbsp;Royal Northern College Of Music Student Choir, the video sees the artist playing at a piano in an empty, disused swimming pool, as the camera circles around the space.&nbsp;The gentle camera movement contrasts against the stark location, creating a complex, textural aesthetic.&nbsp;The use of a one-take concept also feels incredibly inspired, capturing the grand atmosphere of the location and the naturalistic, intimate performances that unfold through the track.

Toby L rings in a bold new era of Foals with the textural promo for Life Is Yours.&nbsp;In a spacious studio setting, the band play in a circular formation, whilst red and blue lighting pulsates in various patterns.&nbsp;The lively performance is captured through fluid camera movements and ambitious perspectives, which amplifies the unique aesthetic.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]"The music lends itself to sudden tonal shifts and striking colours," says Toby L."I recently found myself watching Fantasia for the first time in some years and was hypnotised by the silouhettes and palette from the orchestra and conductor scenes - it felt like it’d be an appropriate jumping off point for placing a contemporary band performance within."We opted for setting them up in the round to showcase a different side to what you’d typically see from them onstage. Resonating with the song’s underlying theme, it’s a simplistic portrayal and embodiment of finding the light when battling through the dark."

Avesta Keshtmand directs a transcendent promo for&nbsp;Emma-Jean Thackray.Inspired by the themes and aesthetics of sci-fi, psychedelia&nbsp;and B-movies, Thackray and Keshtmand tell the story of an outsider at a dinner party, full of mass-produced foods and judgemental side-glances. Lost in her own world, Emma-Jean is then transported to somewhere more natural, flowery and free.Oozing a sense of carefree nostalgia, the video is mesmerising to look at, and celebrates the maximalist art and aesthetics of the time period it pays homage to.&nbsp;Avesta Keshtmand is a British-Afghan filmmaker living and working in London.&nbsp;Last year, Keshtmand was one of five unsigned British directors to win a place on Three Minutes,&nbsp;Crack Magazine’s incubator scheme funding five music videos by rising talents. The scheme is produced in association with our production company Ground Work and made possible by Burberry, Shure and BFI NETWORK.

Alewya leads a pulsating underground rave in Simon Lane's atmospheric performance vid for the singer-songwriter's Spirit_X.With Alewya tapping into the spiritual aspect of dance music, Lane creates an exciting spectacle from the judicious use of lighting, art direction, supporting cast and editing, in the rarely explored tunnels under London. Most importantly, the focus is on the stunning presence&nbsp;of Alewya herself.“This song was written from a presence and understanding of my flow state and how many things can come to me when I’m dancing this dance as crazy as it might be," states Alewya. "This is my absolute power and one to be reckoned with. It’s human, ancestral and it’s very wild.”

Pedro Takahashi directs a&nbsp;disorientating trip through Chubby and the Gang’s world, in the promo for Coming Up Tough.&nbsp;The punchy performance video lives up to its title, charging ahead at breakneck speed with energetic transitions and intimidating wide angle shots of the band, reflecting the concept's focus on rebellious youth.&nbsp;Unapologetic and daring, the visual is riotous fun, and harks back to early punk videos, albeit with a more polished, contemporary aesthetic.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Simon Lane directs an exceptional live performance video for singer-songwriter Douglas Dare,&nbsp;shot within the beautiful St John of Jerusalem Church in Hackney, London.Dare emerges from the church pews in an ivory-white ballgown to glide towards the musicians of the&nbsp;London Contemporary Orchestra, whilst singing the nursery rhyme-influenced Heavenly Bodies, in a consummately choreographed single take.&nbsp;This was filmed on Super 16mmm, and Lane and his DoP Jake Gabbay have achieved a stunning visual quality for the piece. It sets the bar high for achievement in cinematography in the year ahead.

Olivia Rose directs a celestial, otherworldly promo for Lancey Foux.&nbsp;Known for reinterpreting masculinity through a female gaze in both her&nbsp;photography and video projects, Rose's concept exists in a parallel space and time, evidenced by surreal imagery - a fish covered in luminescent butterflies, as an example - and a soft, introspective performance, leaning into a certain vulnerability that shapes the entire narrative.&nbsp;It's a wonderful, unexpected vision, and one of the most unique promos of the year, arriving just a couple of weeks before 2020 finally ends.&nbsp;
