The second&nbsp;in a trilogy of videos for Self Esteem, directed by the artist herself - aka&nbsp;Rebecca Lucy Taylor - sees her burning up the screen entirely from behind a drumkit.As with the first for Prioritise Pleasure, this is another riveting performance to accompany another self-revelatory track, How Can I Help You. In fact, even more so. It's just her, drumming out the primal beat of the song while lipsyncing but drawing a cathartic power from the experience -and&nbsp;also simply revelling in the physical act.Ultimately it's a great device to show the artist&nbsp;as a courageous and charismatic performer, determined to be recognised on her own terms. Self Esteem is taking it to the next level, and it's really impressive.&nbsp;

Self Esteem 'How Can I Help You' by Rebecca Lucy Taylor

Rebecca Lucy Taylor self-directs a rip-roaring performance promo for Prioritise Pleasure - one of three she has made for the new album.&nbsp;Inside a studio setting, we see&nbsp;Self Esteem - the stage name of musician and director Rebecca Lucy Taylor - dive&nbsp;into high-energy choreography with a group of dancers, as coloured lights coruscate in the background.&nbsp;It's a powerful visual which commands a presence, and an exciting addition to the artist's videography.&nbsp;

Rebecca Lucy Taylor presents the first chapter in her trio of&nbsp;self-directed promos for Self Esteem.&nbsp;The video for I Do This All The Time is stripped-back and assured, taking cues from the introspective lyrics and themes of self-love.&nbsp;Moving from a slow, deliberate track out as Taylor performs, to moments of her reassuring herself - by way of a stand-in - the video builds in energy whilst remaining emotional and celebratory throughout.&nbsp;This is the start of what promises to be a captivating series of visuals, ahead of the release of the second Self Esteem album Prioritise Pleasure&nbsp;- an indication of the blossoming of Taylor's versatile talent.&nbsp;

Olivia Rose delivers an up-close and personal promo for Emir Taha's debut music video for Huyu Suyu.&nbsp;As explained by the artist himself,&nbsp;"'Huyu huyuma denk, suyu suyuma denk’ means getting on well together, being of the same disposition. The literal meaning is ‘her ways match my ways, her water matches my water.’ That chemistry is captured perfectly in the video. It’s about two people who share the same energy, dreaming underwater through hallucinations."The alluring visuals flicker between&nbsp;intimate vignettes in the water, from bathtime romps to solo soaks in the tub, an amalgamation of memory and fantasy. Taha continues, "It’s my first ever music video so its is a defining moment in an artist’s visual world - I feel so lucky to have had the chance to work with the amazing Olivia Rose whose taste I admire a lot.”DoP&nbsp;Nathalie Pitters creates a sensual, physical experience with the cinematography, utlising opulent gold&nbsp;and orange colour palettes usually to portray a sense of luxury and fantasy.[imgtoken data:1]OLIVIA ROSE:<blockquote>This was an amazing experience in how much water can change the dynamic of shooting.&nbsp;</blockquote>“Huyu Suyu, the coming together of the masculine and feminine. Taking influence from Emir’s lyrics as well as his Turkish heritage we set the video in water - from a bath to the deep blue - where Emir meets a mirage in a red veil - loosely based on Turkish bridal attire."The promo focuses on that electric moment when you think two people are coming together but they don’t quite make it, the moment the mirage disappears and Emir realises he is alone in the bath once more."Leaning in to his heritage which is so beautifully captured in the melody of the track, we wanted to attempt to recreate Turkish ebru art around his body in the bath - it’s a metaphor for Emir’s world becoming trippy and ethereal, a marker point for us before he is dragged under. For me, this was an amazing experience in how much water can change the dynamic of shooting.”
