Nathan James Tettey reunites with Headie One to direct&nbsp;a cinematic promo for viral track Martin's Sofa.&nbsp;The director leans into the themes of the track, which pay tribute to a friend who helped the artist right at the start of his career.&nbsp;A montage of&nbsp;vignettes play out across the four-minute runtime, ranging from dreamlike, vibrant set pieces to exterior performance sections, all tied together with a sense of community and friendship. And having just signed to Knucklehead for global representation, it's a great way for Tettey to start a new chapter in his career.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Making Martin's Sofa was the most out of body experience I’ve endured in a while but I loved every second of it and to see the response from Headie’s fans has been incredible to witness because really making this video was for them as well as for Headie and Martin," Tettey has said. "Martin's actual sofa is real and was used in the video but the sentiment of what Headie is talking about is also real as well and for me was perfectly illustrated in the process all of us went through trying to bring his vision to life. Getting up each day at the crack of dawn and working into the deep of night to try and solve as many problems and tick as many boxes as is humanly possible before getting back up to do it all again the next day. "I just want to thank every member of the immediate team...&nbsp;Myself, Headie and Martin couldn’t have done it without you…"&nbsp;

A simple greeting turns into a full-on choreographed dance, in Louis Bhose's splendid promo for The Big Moon.&nbsp;Celebrating the comeback of the alternative indie group, we follow vocalist Juliette Jackson as she wakes up in the middle of a field, eventually regrouping with her fellow band members and running through an increasingly complex routine.It's a refreshingly simple yet punchy concept&nbsp;which feels fresh and timeless, whilst carrying a certain emotional weight to it, as the girls celebrate the start of their next chapter together.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;The use of a black studio environment to represent a fantasy version of the real world heightens the stylish aesthetic, whilst the real emotion drawn out of each member&nbsp;acts as an anchor to the whole project.&nbsp;"I've always been interested in bands returning from the wilderness - updating their Insta after eighteen months away with shadowy images and emojis," says Louis Bhose.&nbsp;"I thought it would be fun to have a band bump into each other, having not seen one another for ages, and start with this little handshake that then gets increasingly elaborate and emotional."That extends from a little fist bump into a big choreographed piece..."&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Big Moon 'Wide Eyes' by Louis Bhose

Ebeneza Blanche creates an impressionistic portrait of London life, around the charismatic presence of Joy Crookes, in the video for 19th Floor.With an emphasis on family and community, Blanche's video for 19th Floor echoes his previous&nbsp;video for Little Simz's Point And Kill, set in Nigeria. Here he presents Joy at home with her grandmother, and nods to her part-Irish heritage, and a series of performance vignettes is augmented by her performing a traditional Irish dance, in an abandoned building.[imgtoken data:1]Blanche also highlights an eclectic group of working class people and families&nbsp;in West London, and cleverly connects them as they watch a man falling from the iconic Trellick Tower - and come together to save him.&nbsp;With Joy Crookes at its heart, the video has a nostalgic and warmth, and an additional touch of mystery and magic, that is captured&nbsp;by DoP Jack Exton and&nbsp;goes hand-in-hand with the beautiful styling of&nbsp;Matthew Josephs and Justin Hamilton.&nbsp;“By placing Joy Crookes as the voice for the underprivileged, I wanted to create a visual that questions and provokes the viewers by spotlighting the different races and class systems in London," says Blanche.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]"I also wanted to pay homage to the community affected by the tragic fire at Grenfell Tower, by showing a male falling off the roof and being caught by the bystanders to symbolise the unity and empowerment of the people."The experience working with Joy Crookes felt very organic. She's a hard worker and amazing to work with. I drew a lot of inspiration from the lyrics of the song and the conversations that took place with [her].

KLVDR directs a palpably luxurious video with a brutal twist, for Skepta's return with Nirvana.Set in a stately home, Skepta plays a butler, second-in-command to the head butler (played by Terence Vincent),&nbsp;who provides a special service to the beautiful lady of the house (played by Marlene Marie) - in the boudoir.[imgtoken data:1]Things get darker when J Balvin makes his appearance, tied to an upturned chair in a dank basement. It's the first suggestion that things may not turn out so well for Skepta either.With a combination of the grand setting, supporting characters and the casting of a glamourous femme fatale, KLVDR has graduated to a fully cinematic experience, with elements of Bond. Ultimately, the ending is blood-soaked and downbeat - like the better Bond movies. But perhaps surprisingly, Skepta's fate is not to emerge as a winner, but to be replaced.

Noah Lee creates a palpably resonant dreamworld, full of quirky visual tricks streaming from the subconscious of&nbsp;his subject, the intriguing Celeste, in the video for Tonight Tonight.Once Lee sets the scene by putting Celeste through the mini-hell of not being able to light her recalcitrant cigarette, the video progresses&nbsp;into the psyche of the character our songstress embodies. The&nbsp;film meanders through dive bars and Alice-in-Wonderland-esque hallways filled with butterflies and complicated individuals.It’s definitely the film’s distortions on common realities that make its dreamworld feel somewhat familiar - an authentic imagining of a subconscious mind. It's also framed in a&nbsp;film aesthetic, and with use of lenses that creates an aura that manages to be glamourous and&nbsp;romantic as well as surreal.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;&nbsp;
