Heralding the release of his acclaimed new album, Jason Spaceman co-directs the live video for a new Spiritualized epic&nbsp;with Juliette Larthe.This is an intimate performance of the ten minute track I'm Coming Home Again, given a vintage feel and visceral edge by the expert use of just two camera set-ups, fused together in a complementary black and white grade.[imgtoken data:1]The use of a gritty&nbsp;film in capturing Spaceman's backing band give the impression of footage that may have sat around for a while - even years. But when the main&nbsp;man appears in the cleaner format, the trick is revealed and the 'liveness' of the occasion becomes unmistakeable.So sit back and enjoy your own personal Spiritualized show, courtesy of Jason and Juliette.

It's no mean feat to match the scale and ambition of Introvert, the first track from Little Simz's forthcoming&nbsp;second album. But Salomon Ligthelm has done it with this extraordinarily powerful video - imaginative, inspirational and, above all, just as&nbsp;epic as the song.Introvert is&nbsp;visceral essay about black people's lives,&nbsp;fuelled by fear,&nbsp;exhaustion, frustration and political awakening. Ligthelm's brilliant work captures the essence of the powerful emotion driving Simz's track with a stunning collage of choreography, performance, archival news footage, classical painting, home movies, and a brilliant sense of Simz's home city.The video was shot across a range of London locations, including some very grand ones -&nbsp;the Natural History Museum and Wallace Collection, as well as Peckham and Crystal Palace sports complex. Ligthelm uses a&nbsp;chopped-up, collaged structure to reflect the landscape it maps, with a succession of stunning images and sequences, shot on a mix of formats - but&nbsp;predominantly Super 16mm and 4-perf 35mm film.Ligthelm first worked with Simz on the&nbsp;Top Boy&nbsp;promo for season 3, and at the end of 2020 they talked about collaborating on a video together for her new music. The result, Ligthelm's first work since joining Prettybird in London,&nbsp;is an absolute classic of the form, where every department has excelled.Wonderfully shot by&nbsp;Joel Honeywell, brilliantly edited by Elise Butt, the riveting combination of photography, choreography and editorial, as well as direction and performance, echoes the work of director Mark Romanek, and Beyoncé, no less. It's that good.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

Danish director Nina Holmgren has created a gorgeous showcase for the rising singer Justine Skye, that's also a knowing commentary on our obsessive relationship with screen technology - and features some notable members of Skye's celebrity fanbase.In the video for Intruded - which is bookended by two other tracks from her debut album Space &amp; Time - Skye is the glamorous figure in various scenarios that riff upon corporatism, surveillance culture, outmoded yet classic technology and voyeurism.Whether she's surrounded by rows of CCTV cameras, or banks of TVs and DV cams, Skye is the cool, self-possessed, high-fashioned presence in a&nbsp;range of visceral textures, from vinyl to leather to silk.[imgtoken data:1]The cameras carry multiple images of the singer from the range of cameras, and also of the notable others - Timbaland, who produced her album, Lil Yachty and Bella Hadid, the latter uttering random phrases.Holmgren was influenced by the pioneering video artist Naim June Paik, with at least one explicit nod to his screen-based artworks. And this is something of a work of art in itself. A wonderfully crafted work by a director with a forceful eye.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Olivia Rose directs a glittering festive promo for Jess Glynne's This Christmas.&nbsp;Following a variety of hapless characters, all experiencing their own mini-Christmas disasters - with burnt food and flaming hair taking the lead - the promo is a charming, fun-filled ride with plenty of seasonal cheer.Jess Glynne plays a number of these characters herself - including&nbsp;a delivery driver and drag queen (or king?) - and the result is some of the best moments in her videography so far, embodying all of the drama, energy and excitement that comes with the holiday period.&nbsp;The editing is also well executed, using match cut transitions and whip pans to make each vignette feel part of the same story.Overall, this is a feelgood and stylish video that marks Glynne's first Christmas track and visual, produced in collaboration with Amazon Originals. &nbsp;

Sophie Jones presents a series of unusual perspectives in her video for Little Runaway, her second collaboration with Celeste.&nbsp;Carrying over similar themes from previous project I Can See The Change, the video takes us into a dreamlike state, focusing on reflections and distortion through unusual camera techniques.&nbsp;As the video progresses, we see different scenes through a low angle, iris-shaped view point - men lost in gambling, lovers lost in love and hate, a man obsessed with food - all highlighting the greed of humankind.&nbsp;Celeste is brilliant as always, her performance intimate and engaging with a haunting and enignmatic undertone. The use of VFX cleverly entangles each scene in a surreal, not-quite-real atmosphere, elevating the themes of the concept and track.&nbsp;

Celeste 'Little Runaway' by Sophie Jones

Celeste-'Little-Runaway'-by-Sophie-Jones

Otis Dominique and Ellington Hammond co-direct this celebration of Black lives, for Jorja Smith's By Any Means, the lead release of Roc Nation's&nbsp;Reprise project, comprised of multiple artists uniting to let their voices be heard in musical protest.Working with producer Precious Mahaga and DoP Joel Honeywell, the video is a breathtaking series of photojournalistic&nbsp;portraits documenting the breadth of the Black British experience, intercut with Jorja Smith's performance of By Any Means. Conceived by Jorja Smith and Hammond, her longtime collaborator, London-based Dominique joined to co-direct when it was clear that the American photographer and filmmaker would not be able to travel to the UK for the shoot.[imgtoken data:1]The first of a three day shoot was spent on the performance, shot at Jorja's home, in a more visually crafted set-up. That was followed by two whirlwind&nbsp;days shooting their documentary subjects, the first in various locations in London; the second in Luton, Birmingham and Walsall - Jorja Smith's hometown. The result is extraordinary - an extensive authentic snapshot of a nation.[imgtoken data:2]&nbsp;&nbsp;"We went all over the place, and when we couldn't make to everyone's homes, we had people come to meet us halfway," says Precious Mahaga, who like other crew members recruited family members to appear in the video. "In fact, Alice Dearing, the only Black member of the Great Britain swimming team, came all the way from Manchester and met us at my mum's house in Luton."[imgtoken data:3]They finished the shoot in Walsall, where Jorja Smith's cousin acted as unofficial casting agent, bringing together members of the community to appear in what turned out to be the final part of the video - an impromptu gathering, welcoming Jorja back home. "Our last shot was at Jorja's cousin's house - he phoned up a lot of people,"&nbsp;recalls Mahaga. "Jorja was there to sing the song, and she became really too emotional at that point to perform with everyone there."&nbsp;[imgtoken data:4]Jorja Smith has commented:&nbsp;“The inspiration behind ‘By Any Means’ really came from going to the Black Lives Matter protest and leaving thinking, what can I do to keep this conversation going? It’s not just a post on social media, it’s life.”A statement from Roc Nation adds: “This collection of songs was compiled with hopes to bring awareness to social justice issues. A portion of proceeds will go to funding organisations that support victims of police brutality, hate crimes, and other violations of civil rights​.”[imgtoken data:5]

Jax Jones teams up with Martin Solveig and Raye in Santi &amp; Pablo's Latin gameshow-flavoured&nbsp;video for Tequila.&nbsp;Paying homage to Latin TV show Sabado Gigante, the artists take on a variety of roles, from&nbsp;talent on-stage through to overexcited audience members with questionable haircuts.&nbsp;The&nbsp;video&nbsp;has an authentic aesthetic, mixing in SD footage and greenscreen trickery to create the&nbsp;fun, no-holds-barred gameshow environment. Light-hearted and full of high-energy performances, this is an inspired visual treatment of the bouncy track.&nbsp;

Jocelyn Anquetil's video for King Krule, set on the overcast banks of the River Thames, was inspired by&nbsp;the artist otherwise known as Archy Marshall’s personal story of of loneliness and isolation.Archy finds himself in various locations and scenarios, all of which reflect his mentality from being boxed in by a group of eclectic individuals. He becomes&nbsp;stuck inside a mirrored room,&nbsp;representing his state of mind and the chaos of the track. It&nbsp;concludes with Archy being able to emerge from his dark place, with wife and new baby.
