Jorja Smith 'Feelings' by Femi Ladi

Jorja Smith - Feelings (feat. J Hus)

Dexter Navy presents how Sampha is touched with a special kind of magic in the video for Only.The acclaimed singer-songwriter begins bending reality when&nbsp;he studies a book titled LAHAI - the name of his forthcoming, long-awaited second album - and then ponders his reflection. When he ventures into the outside world he finds himself capable of all kinds of otherworldly powers, sometimes struggling to control them.A number of magical moments arrive in an understated fashion - which seems a perfectly pitched visual metaphor for Sampha's talent. And it makes it more impressive with every viewing.

Sampha 'Only' by Dexter Navy

SAMPHA [ONLY]

Fred Rowson combines the advertising and music video worlds in this comedic hybrid for Yorkshire Tea.&nbsp;Giving an eccentric, tea-driven spin to the traditional 'holiday' video, we see a young character (played by George Kent) packing his bags for Ibiza, choosing to take 10kg of Yorkshire Tea with him, in place of everyday essentials.&nbsp;Packed full of slick transitions, graphic effects and greenscreen hilarity, it's a big change of tone for the brand, and Rowson does a brilliant job in ushering in this new style, in collaboration with ad agency Lucky Generals.[imgtoken data:1]“My favourite ads are the ones that get really, really specific about some small detail of life, and blow it up into something epic - and the creatives at Lucky Generals absolutely nailed that in this spot," says Rowson."From the client to the creatives to my HoDs and cast, we were all on the same page about how good this could be. So this has been one of the most fun experiences I've had in commercials.”[imgtoken data:2]&nbsp;So does it qualify as a proper music video - and does that even matter?"I'm just glad to see that the language of the music video has an enduring half-life," adds Rowson. "We will never escape the radiation."

Yorkshire Tea 'The Tea Song' by Fred Rowson

Pack Yer Bags - Skipton Alfie

Renee Maria Osubu tells the story of a grieving family, within the wider context of the Black British experience, in Dirt In The Diamond, a short film that incorporates three songs from Jords album, with the same name, performed by the artist.In the first part, we are introduced to the main characters at a family gathering at the home of the Walkers, prior to the funeral of their son, where Jords performs MoBay with Tay Iwar. It's&nbsp;shot by cinematographer Courtney J. Bennett in rich colour, with an intimacy that recalls Steve McQueen's 'house party' film Lovers Rock.That is followed by the funeral of the son - the procession behind the coffin and church service -&nbsp;shot in stark black and white, in which we hear iPray by Jords, Wretch 32 and Miles from Kinshasa. Finally, the drama is replaced by a montage of&nbsp;archive footage of Black Londoners from the 1970s to the present day - including footage of era-defining protests against racism and prejudice -&nbsp;&nbsp;as Jords performs Fist In The Sky.&nbsp;Renee Maria Osubu&nbsp;brings the personal and the political together, and interrogates the nature of grief - which one character describes as "the truest form of love" - in compelling fashion.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

A love story blossoms in the most unlikely of locations, in Fred Rowson's playful promo for Mae Muller.&nbsp;The video for I Just Came To Dance plays out like a Gucci shoot on a golf course, with a bit of The Virgin Suicides thrown in for good measure, and sees Mae attract the attention of a golfing guy with gorgeous looks but&nbsp;a flatlining personality.[imgtoken data:1]Mae can’t decide whether she wants to get with him or kill him. So, instead, she toys with him.Conceptually opposite to the lyrics of the track - you are definitely not meant to be busting moves in the middle of a golf course, but that doesn't&nbsp;stop&nbsp;Muller and friends -&nbsp;the video is imbued with director Fred Rowson's comedic, slightly surreal style, and it will keep viewers on their toes throughout.&nbsp;&nbsp;

BWTV - that's Liam Achaibou and Ryan Vernava - direct a hopeful promo for Liam Gallagher, addressing issues surrounding mental health in males, for the single Too Good For Giving Up.Representing the debilitating nature of depression and the importance of talking out, the video stars&nbsp;David Jonsson, best known for his role in the hit BBC drama&nbsp;Industry. The video opens on him&nbsp;dragging an oversized effigy of himself down the street, struggling under the weight of the huge structure.[imgtoken data:1]As he continues his sullen journey, many ignore him. But then a few onlookers begin to lift up various parts of the structure, allowing Jonsson's character to escape from the weight of the doppelganger.One of those who helps is wearing a Talk Club T-shirt - the men's&nbsp;mental health charity that Gallagher has teamed upwith for this project.&nbsp;And with that weight lifted off his shoulders,&nbsp;Jonsson’s character stands upright, as if for the&nbsp;first time. He wanders into a nearby pub, where&nbsp;he is welcomed into a Talk Club meeting.The video’s eloquent and poignant message&nbsp;was inspired by&nbsp;Vernava and Achaibou losing&nbsp;a friend and collaborator several years ago, which changed the way that they&nbsp;view mental health issues.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]&nbsp;As for Liam Gallagher he has said about the project:&nbsp;"We all know someone affected by suicide which sadly seems to be at an all-time high," Gallagher has said, about the project. "I've lost many people far too early and it’s important to talk. I'm really pleased to be able to help in anyway with this song and will be partnering with Talk Club on this track."&nbsp;All UK revenue that is generated from the track will be donated to <a href="https://talkclub.org/" target="_blank">Talk Club</a> for six months, an initiative that started on October 1st. Gallagher will further support the campaign by taking over Talk Club’s Twitter account to discuss mental health issues from 11am-12pm this Thursday, October 13th.Talk Club co-founders Ben Akers and Gavin Thorpe add:&nbsp;“Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50. And Liam is a hero to many of that generation. So to be collaborating with him on something that raises the awareness of Talk Club, and gets men talking and improving their mental fitness, will save lives.”&nbsp;

Liam Gallagher 'Too Good For Giving Up' by BWTV

A group of schoolchildren create their own ABBA homage in Sophie Muller's touching seasonal promo for Little Things.&nbsp;The track&nbsp;is a gentle reflection on the joy of Christmas morning and family time around this special time of year, and the proceeds from CD sales are going&nbsp;to Unicef&nbsp;to help&nbsp;support the&nbsp;Global Child Protection Fund.&nbsp;In the video, we see a dedicated and ambitious group of school-age children, many of whom in real life are close to (or even related to!) the creative team behind the groundbreaking Voyage concerts.[imgtoken data:1]This next generation of geniuses are inspired to create an ABBA Voyage ‘Christmas Special’, and embark with irrepressible enthusiasm on the enterprise of motion capture, choreography, costume design, stage lighting and band rehearsals, culminating with the arrival of parents and family members, to watch a convincing performance by the re-imagined ‘ABBA’, as the track draws to a close.&nbsp;Evoking a sense of traditional Christmas wonder, it's a charming concept and a perfect accompaniment to the group's iconic comeback.&nbsp;

Luke Seomore and&nbsp;Joseph Bull focus on gentle moments of connection in their new film for Blessed Are The Hearts That Bend - a follow-up to their film last year featuring the ambient band's track Palace.&nbsp;Unfolding over one day, the video explores a multitude of lives across the capital, revealing unseen and hidden moments of introspection and connection.A visual representation of devotion, this is a celebration of daily life in all its messy&nbsp;humanity. Presented in cinematic, painterly vignettes - once again shot by Luke and Joseph's longtime collaborator David Procter -&nbsp;every frame is emotional and beautifully composed, elevating the theme of the concept.&nbsp;
