Najeeb Tarazi directs superb promo for&nbsp;Arrdee &amp; Cat Burns that merges a very smart visual technique with real emotion.The innovative concept for Home For My Heart intertwines various portrait shots - of the artists and several narrative characters - with a clever mirrored transition, which blends together a series of 360 degree rotating shots.The video also packs an emotional punch, with heartfelt, intimate performances and enough narrative vignettes&nbsp;to make the lyrics feel really relatable and universal, and hint at the themes behind the track.&nbsp;Beautiful work and a timeless visual.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Emil Nava directs a funky performance promo for Calvin Harris, featuring Justin Timberlake, Pharrell and Halsey.With an aesthetic that can only be described as Disco meets Miami, the video for Stay With Me is a flamboyant, hypnotic trip, complete with lighthearted&nbsp;performances and kaleidoscopic visual effects.The set design is also noteworthy, boasting&nbsp;a custom mirrored tunnel&nbsp;and conveyor belts on the floor, which add to the hallucinatory vibe of the concept.&nbsp;

Emil Nava makes a storming return to music videos with a mesmerizing, richly colourful video for Calvin Harris's own return, with the laidback Potion - featuring Dua Lipa and Young Thug.It's Calvin and Dua's first collaboration since the megahit <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2018/05/03/calvin-harris-dua-lipa-one-kiss-emil-nava/52939" target="_blank">One Kiss</a> - which came with a groundbreaking deconstructed-style pop video from Nava. This also nods to One Kiss with its irreverent approach to the traditional pop video, while maintaining focus&nbsp;on Dua and Future, highlighted with a&nbsp;glamourous grade by colourist Kristopher Smale.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Sub Urban watches the world burn in the video for Cradles, directed by&nbsp;Andrew Donoho.&nbsp;Burning rooms, creepy mannequins and faceless toddlers with finger-guns start the proceedings, as we take a huge leap away from the mainstream and crash-land into the world of Sub Urban - as interpreted by Donoho.The inspired mix of live action and haunting scribble animations creates a juxtaposition of innocent youth against a dangerous and violent adult world, and Sub Urban is in the middle of it all. And in this age where Billie Eilish and Joker&nbsp;resonate so strongly, it's lack of innocence&nbsp;and graphic violence feels very on-trend.The visual takes cues from the childlike instruments and samples in the track, including a music box and bubblegum popping, and transforms these into something haunting. Sub Urban is terrific as an angsty and rather unhinged character, taking the absurdity in his stride and accepting his dark fate as the video progresses. And the vignette of faceless mannequin ballet dancers is a stroke of brilliance.With creative direction from Sub Urban himself, and the hauntingly beautiful style that Donoho impresses on every project, this is a match made in heaven... or hell.&nbsp;

Woe betide anyone who comes between a man and his lunchtime sandwich...but director Jonny Look has made a really marvellous spectacle from this simple premise, for New York musician&nbsp;Joe Russo's very cinematic Phér•Bŏney Love Theme.It's a comic choreography in the tradition of the classic Hollywood musical, or Broadway musical for that matter. Maybe back in the midcentury&nbsp;days, Donald O'Connor did something similar in Singin' In The Rain, or another musical. But the star of the show here is Will Hines, as the everyman caught up amongst a group of irrepressible, but overbearing dance kids in the school cafeteria. And they are keen to stop him from enjoying his sarnie, perhaps with good reason...The dancers are also great - and the choreography by Erin Murray is a nailed-on joy.&nbsp;And a&nbsp;fab debut on Promonews for the fabulously-named Jonny Look.&nbsp;

Jamie Whitby directs this glistening cut for LA rapper Yoshi Flower. Hidden away in the mountains with his fortune, Yoshi still can’t shake the emptiness. The man’s sitting on so many diamonds, there’s nothing left to do but piss them away. Literally.Whitby takes shots at materialism with his wispy, playful style. Look out for the triumphant return of the star diffractor, an unfairly maligned piece of kit that now seems custom made for Yoshi’s diamond-encrusted luxuries (created by art director Lauren Kim).

What initially seemed&nbsp;to be a calm, serene&nbsp;take by Nick Murphy (fka Chet Faker) of his new single&nbsp;turns&nbsp;out to be a spectacular death-defying act, as the singer stands amidst a plethora&nbsp;of&nbsp;fireworks in Najeeb Tarazi&#39;s video for Dangerous.The soothing blue hues of Murphy&#39;s close up expand to a whirlwind of red and gold sparks, revealed through this&nbsp;authentic&nbsp;one-shot take.

Najeeb Tarazi, nominated at the UKMVAs this year for his video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2018/04/11/gaz-coombes-walk-walk-najeeb-tarazi/52605" target="_blank">Gaz Coombes&#39; Walk The Walk</a>, demonstrates his storytelling talents again in this impressive video for London band Another Sky.This is a riveting sketch of the reality of LA economics from the perspective of a young car wash worker, whose honesty is tested when he desperately needs to fix his bike. Tarazi gets a great performance from non-actor Jonni Truelove, the economy of the tale fitting the band&#39;s taut, tense Chillers like a glove.&nbsp;&nbsp;&bull; More at <a href="https://www.thefader.com/2018/10/23/another-sky-debut-searing-chillers-video" target="_blank">The Fader</a>&nbsp;

Andrew Donoho helms this dark sci-fi action thriller for Plan B&#39;s hugely powerful Guess Again. It&#39;s a furiously paced&nbsp;story which, at its heart, delivers an ominous warning about the future of technology.Ben Drew aka Plan B was deeply involved in the making of the video, as the writer, directing 2nd unit and co-editing the work with Chris Dart and Donoho.&nbsp;As for Andrew Donoho, he is&nbsp;making a habit of chronicling future dystopian times. This closely follows his collaboration with Janelle Monae on her longform &#39;emotion picture&#39; for her new album Dirty Computer.&nbsp;

Jake Jelicich's stylish video for Niall Horan has the feel of an old-school road movie, with Horan&nbsp;accompanied in his '70s Porsche Carerra by a free-spirited female companion.&nbsp;Jelicich has just joined Partizan in the UK and US for music video representation,&nbsp;and in his first project at his new home he develops a mesmerising&nbsp;visual language of warped, slowed or overlapping shots to emphasise the emotional pull of the lyrics of On the Loose.&nbsp;
