A battle ensues for Wizkid's heart, in CHILD's stylish, UK-shot promo for Bad To Me.&nbsp;On the set of a contemporary TV show, we are introduced to various behind the scenes staff, including a showrunner the artist is romantically involved in.&nbsp;Between the glitzy performance setups and entertaining vignettes, we see this romance develop as several other women have their eye on him.&nbsp;It's a glamorous affair, from the slick styling through to the effervescent lighting, and the video is already racking up the views in the millions.&nbsp;

Lisette Donkersloot creates a gorgeously graphic combination of artist and dance performance for the triumphant return of Nao.Inspired by Infrared photography, and working with choreographer Shay Latukolan, the Dutch director builds a radiant spectrum of colour and movement around the East London songstress's compelling performance of Messy Love - an ode to self-love, self-respect and choosing peace over the never-ending struggles of a detrimental relationship.[imgtoken data:1]Donkersloot creates a little bit of magic with the combination of her&nbsp;studio staging - a series of ever-changing backdrops of sunsets in a range of colours - and the astounding dancers in their&nbsp;fantastic 'alien' mode: covered in indigo blue bodypaint and orange-coloured gravity-defying braid hair styles.&nbsp;&nbsp;The dancers perform an abstract choreography throughout the video to augment Nao's central position. They start out on the floor, then work their way up, portraying a metaphor of plants growing as they receive sunlight and water. In the end, they return to their original horizontal positions, holding on to their goddess NAO who is ready for a new circle of life.Ultimately the video reflects the theme of the song and Nao's empowering lyrics in Messy Love, about a&nbsp;relationship that’s on the rocks: "I won’t break, said I won’t change my ways not even this time”. This is just as graceful, uplifting and beautiful as those words.[imgtoken data:2]

Remi Laudat directs a fiery performance video for Stefflon Don.&nbsp;Exploring empowerment and freedom, the artist celebrates her Jamaican heritage with playful, edgy vignettes, which lean into a hyperreal&nbsp;style and perspective.&nbsp;Flipping from group choreography to solo performance setups, the excitable aesthetic is layered with vibrant lighting and set design, resulting in a feel-good vibe that encourages viewers to get up and show off their best moves... though we don't suggest attempting any of this in a working kitchen like in&nbsp;this promo.&nbsp;

Ray Blk is in the club, and being very choosy about who gains her favours, in the video for Action, directed by Nathan James Tettey.&nbsp;Speaking about the track, which features Chip,&nbsp;Ray&nbsp;says “When I go out with my friends all the songs they play in the clubs or parties are songs for boys to gas each other up and get hype to, so I wanted to make something to gas the ladies as well because we’re the ones they come to the party for.”

Jade Jackman has directed an intimate and poignant video for Mabel's OK.Shot in black and white, the video focuses on a selection of diverse cast, all of whom are underrepresented in the industry, and who have taken their own feelings of anxiety and discouragement and flipped them into positive, empowering messages. The lack of colour pulls more attention to the portraits of each person, and they each slowly break&nbsp;out into movement, to represent the transition to feeling more comfortable and confident in themselves.&nbsp;Shooting each person on their own in the space expresses the feeling of isolation that anxiety can induce, and the fact that Mabel shares the exact same setup with the other characters represents the fact that this is universal, no matter who you are. "It's okay not to be okay, as long as you know everything's gonna be okay".&nbsp;A simple concept to match the track’s message of empowerment and strength, the black and white video features intimate close ups of Mabel singing to camera, alongside a cast including Dazed and Confused Beauty LGBTQ+ editor Munroe Bergdorf and Kat Hawkins.

Mabel 'OK (Anxiety Anthem)' by Jade Jackman

Mabel - OK (Anxiety Anthem)

Dan Medhurst&#39;s film for modern classical artist Grandbrothers is a loose adaptation of the ancient Greek myth of Sisyphus, who struggled to push a large rock up a&nbsp;mountain only for it to roll back&nbsp;down and for him to start again each day.In the dead of night, an elderly man&nbsp;(played by Mark Wingett) leaves his sleeping place among rocks to travel across a hillside, his journey floodlit by moving lights as he goes. Finally satisfied and fleetingly happy, he then realises he&#39;s back where he started, reflecting the infinite cycle of the universe.
