Raye self-directs a devastatingly raw and poignant promo for Ice Cream Man.&nbsp;Produced by an all-female crew with Raye at the helm,&nbsp;the one-take video&nbsp;explores the process of confronting a past experience with sexual assault.&nbsp;We see Raye stagger into a women's bathroom and take solace in an empty cubicle, her powerful performance guided by the hearbreaking lyrics.&nbsp;As the video moves on, her inner resilience emerges. The line 'You pathetic dead excuse for a man'&nbsp;sees her rise to her feet, wipe her face and&nbsp;straighten her clothes. The audience witness&nbsp;her finding her inner strength, tenderly picking herself up and&nbsp;exiting the room.&nbsp;“It was the toughest thing I ever filmed," says Raye. "I only managed to do about three takes in the whole day, and I spent most of the day hidden in a small room on my own with a radio. I just think you do have to go there, and it’s both awful and beautiful at the same time, which is how the song makes me feel.”The video ends with a poignant message from the singer:“When I experienced sexual assault and rape, I didn’t tell anyone. 1 in 4 people experience sexual assault in their lifetime. The odds are that is at least 25% of you reading this. This evil has more power over us in the dark than it does the light. If I can encourage anything, let’s not bury it deep down inside us forever.”

Nwaka Okparaeke directs an alluring live promo for Olivia Dean's Growth, where the artist performs her EP in its entirety.&nbsp;Backdropped by stunning custom-made sets, Dean is at home in the sunsoaked, nostalgic concept.Incorporating natural elements with elevated structures and decor, each frame of the visual is entirely absorbing, and provides the perfect visual match to the&nbsp;sumptuous pop soundscapes - and the reference to the climactic scene of The Truman Show&nbsp;is wonderfully executed."Working with Olivia on this video felt like the perfect match. We both genuinely connected to the ever-changing journey of emotions within growing," says&nbsp;Okparaeke.&nbsp;"For Growth,&nbsp;I wanted to create a live performance video that looks delicate and beautiful but takes us on a rollercoaster of worlds, reflecting how the songs go back and forth from assured to sombre, vulnerable to optimistic."&nbsp;

ZMARAKS explores the notion of humans vs monsters in their anime-inspired promo for Misogi's Bunny, featuring Oklou.&nbsp;Shot in a hazy, dreamlike fashion, the concept spans zombie-style cannibalism, subdued performance and even makes space for a trippy 3D interlude.&nbsp;ZMARAKS is a British filmmaker and visual artist from Bradford who works between their home city and London.Last year, ZMARAKS was one of five unsigned British directors to win a place on Three Minutes – Crack Magazine’s incubator scheme funding five music videos by rising talents. The scheme is produced in association with&nbsp;production company Ground Work and made possible by Burberry, Shure and BFI NETWORK.For their Three Minutes project, they were able to expand their vision of caustic scenes and immersive narratives by connecting with two artists with a similarly hyperreal worldview. Meet London-based oddball pop producer MISOGI and French singer/composer Oklou. On their collaboration, Bunny, the pair find a common ground on a high-impact, tears-on-the-dancefloor banger. It’s the kind of song which makes anyone with a visual imagination run wild. And they did.On the collaboration, MISOGI told Crack Magazine:&nbsp;“When I saw the treatment for the video I knew I had to go with it. Aliyah understood from the beginning that I wanted the juxtaposition of a creepy video and a cute song to be really prominent and they definitely delivered exactly what I wanted."

It's all a matter of perspective in Hannah Berry George's latest promo for Baby Queen.&nbsp;Shot across three different formats - on Alexa, DV cam and Snorricam - with Bella Latham (aka BQ) and friends on location in a deserted Margate - the video for Raw Thoughts meditates on expectation&nbsp;versus reality, and the twists and turns of everyday life.&nbsp;It's a dynamic, spirited visual, mirroring the highs and lows of the track, and elevated by DoP Kia Fern Little's multifaceted cinematography.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Anna Fearon captures Hope Tala and friends in scenes inspired by Renaissance&nbsp;art in the video for Cherries.Fearon brings a new perspective, and a modern twist, to this take on classical portraiture. Modern props appear - and featured artist&nbsp;Aminé&nbsp;shows up on a phone that Hope Tala drops into a fish tank."[Anna] had this idea of having a Renaissance theme but flipping the gender and typical race of the people in the video," Tala told <a href="https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2020/11/10160745/hope-tala-cherries-amine-music-video-premiere" target="_blank">Refinery29</a>. "I just love all things Renaissance and using historical, nostalgic imagery. I'm really into the 90s, but I'm also really obsessed with Shakespeare, so going back to that time period for the theme was really cool. And flipping the script to play with the idea of who the muse and who the artist is was so interesting."Anna Fearon also used an all-female shooting crew to realise her vision. An exuberant colour palette and picture-perfect art direction by Phoebe Anne Harris provide&nbsp;the perfect environment for the concept, framing an understated yet engaging performance from Tala.

A relationship fizzles out in reverse, in&nbsp;Oliver James Robbins &amp; Kia Fern Little's video for Once Good.&nbsp;Shot on a sunny day in striking black and white, the visual depicts&nbsp;vocalist (and video co-director)&nbsp;Oliver James singing the whole track in reverse, as his personal belongings are thrown out of a window.Buckets of water drench him, old vinyls snap on impact and flowers slap him across the face on their descent. It's a bad day for the artist, but great fun to watch - and elevated by an impressively on-point lip sync.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Jake Milliner teams up with Bubblerap for the soulful Jack Jones, directed by Christopher Rogers.&nbsp;The visual highlights the music making process, the craft of music production, and producers who are tirelessly hustling and putting out work. The 3:4 vertical video is overlayed with a Soundcloud waveform, another nod to the community, as we see singer Bubblerap's performances evolve from bedroom&nbsp;to studio.The video is an unpretentious but stylish look at the process of making music – impressively shot by Kia Fern Little - and how the high times can be paired with extensive moments of loneliness and doubt. A careful use of effects in a couple of scenes creates a hallucinatory, ethereal vibe, perhaps representing the massive highs in a sleep-deprived state, where the magic literally feels as if it is happening right in front of you.&nbsp;Bubblerap is a star in the making, and her effortless performance flows with the soulful vibe of Milliner's track, and the final outcome is a raw, honest portrayal of life as an artist.&nbsp;

Christopher Rogers directs a dreamy, sun-drenched visual for up and coming London rapper&nbsp;Lord Apex.The video follows an armoured Apex haunted by the presence of a fallen comrade. Moving gracefully to the stoner-hip hop of Snoop SNL,&nbsp;Apex finally sheds his restricting armour, and dons the sweatshirt bearing the logo of his laid-back West London crew; Elevation Meditation. It&#39;s a&nbsp;symbolic statement that this musical movement&nbsp;is here to stay.
