KC Locke directs a powerful visual&nbsp;for Pip Millett, seamlessly combining&nbsp;realism with escapist fantasy, for Ride With Me.&nbsp;The video starts in sombre black and white, dramatising a moment in the breakdown of a relationship, overseen by Millett. Then it dissolves to colour and she is driving a vintage American car, which soars into the sky, high above the streets of Manchester.&nbsp;It's an ambitious and brilliantly realised concept, and follows the trend in KC Locke's work towards the greater use of visual effects, with artist performance.&nbsp;"When Pip Millett&nbsp;sent me this song I knew it would be a classic," he says. "This is our tenth video together, after handheld, self-shooting our first video together under three years ago with&nbsp;Danny Usman&nbsp;pulling focus. Now we're flying cars over Manchester and making really meaningful, cinematic videos in the R&amp;B space."I really enjoy working with Pip&nbsp;and helping share her vision... [And]&nbsp;I'm really enjoying pushing the boundaries, mixing in-camera with CGI and building worlds for artists to live in."[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

ENNY eloquently stands up for women who have been silenced, in KC Locke's powerful black and white visual for&nbsp;Kiesha's &amp; Brenda's.Written in 2018, the track and visual allude to the everyday sexual abuse and trauma that women face, and the hesitancy many girls feel when talking out about the crimes.&nbsp;Featuring a growing cast of young women - and then young men - the video shows ENNY ripping masking tape from her mouth, and encouraging others to do the same, to ensure their stories are told and voices are heard.KC Locke's focussed visual approach ensures the message is delivered with maximum impact - and it showcases ENNY as an important new artist.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;&nbsp;

Iain Simpson directs a gripping and thought-provoking&nbsp;video for Rudimental x Skream, touching upon mental health, family and forgiveness.&nbsp;The video explores the intertwining lives of two characters in particular - Jack, a man struggling with his father's early-onset dementia, and Safe, a mental health nurse assigned to his case.&nbsp;The moving visuals take a look behind the scenes of some of the most difficult, tender moments the strangers share, and Simpson isn't&nbsp;afraid to touch upon themes of nationalism and racism - which ties into the end card promoting Samaritans - who are prepared to offer help,&nbsp;whatever you're going through and whoever you are.&nbsp;Simpson's direction, and the excellent cinematography of Lorenzo Levrini,&nbsp;very much lets the story unravel in an organic way, without any bias to the subject matter on screen, and as such represents more of a tapestry of moments, leaning into a grittily realistic aesthetic.[imgtoken data:1]

Jasper Brown directs an old school&nbsp;TV show style performance of Celeste performing Love Is Back for The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, with hints of style, glamour and&nbsp;humour.On a minimal set, it's Celeste herself, in her red dress, who provides the glamour. While the touch of humour is provided by the&nbsp;the silhouettes of her backing band, sporting a variation of the singer's distinctive hairstyle.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Jasper Brown directs a heartwrenching promo for Joesef's Comedown.&nbsp;Cleverly encapsulated in a single rotating camera movement - which pulls out from a bloodied face to a scene of a road traffic accident - the visual has a surprisingly calm and endearing vibe, given its subject matter.&nbsp;Evoking the idea of an end of life flashback, Joesef narrates an unrequited love story with his final breaths, as flashing lights and chromatic&nbsp;aberrations represent the idea of him slipping away.&nbsp;Stunning work and a unique concept, perfectly fitting to the track.&nbsp;

Jasper Brown captures a poignant rendition of Celeste's Hear My Voice, live at Union Chapel.&nbsp;Following the official video release back in October - which intercut Celeste's performance with segments of&nbsp;Aaron Sorkin's The Trial of The Chicago 7&nbsp;- this promo is a more stripped-back and subtle affair, with the iconic venue transforming the performance into something much more transcendent and personal.&nbsp;Celeste's performance is customarily top-notch, whilst DoP&nbsp;Lorenzo Levrini utilises drawn-out camera movements and reveals to elevate the stirring atmosphere.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Architects perform against the backdrop of a burning forest, in Jeb Hardwick's haunting promo for Black Lungs.&nbsp;Embracing the heavier direction of their sound cemented in the recent video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/10/27/architects-animals-dan-searle/67429">Animals</a>, the riotous visual jumps between a frenetic performance setup and an eerie narrative, where a family of effervescent apparitions live out a repetitively mundane routine.&nbsp;The choked-up forest and spooky cabin location heighten the atmosphere of the piece,&nbsp;paying homage to the video game Silent Hill,&nbsp; whilst the subtle visual effects create a discomforting tension as the band undergo their own supernatural transformations.&nbsp;

Lewis Cater directs a vibrant new video&nbsp;for The Hunna, following a community of young outcasts who are splintered off from society.&nbsp;Shot around the grounds of Fort Borstal in Kent, the cinematic video is punctuated by car racing, pyrotechnics&nbsp;and post-apocalyptic styling, with an abstract narrative running alongside the action.&nbsp;Frontman&nbsp;Ryan Potter gives a suitably brooding performance, and each of the cast are believable in their respective roles.&nbsp;The use of drone footage and action cameras adds a huge amount of production value, and helps bring the near-future world to life in a spectacular fashion."The narrative is centered around an alternative community for those who feel outcasted or looked down upon," Lewis Cater tells us.&nbsp;"We created a positive space that people can escape to and feel accepted whilst surrounded by others like them. The video&nbsp;celebrates youth, it’s about showing strength, power and success. It features fast cars, positive vibes and a lot of fire!"&nbsp;

Bruno Chiecco directs a painterly, contemplative music video for Gabi Garbutt's Notes From The Undergrowth.&nbsp;Shot on 16mm&nbsp;as London was coming out of lockdown in July, the video is a transcendent exploration of isolation and routine, and the ways in which we cope when alone.&nbsp;Focusing on multiple character vignettes, the narrative is abstract and uniquely structured, encapsulating a series of emotions and an overarching mood as opposed to a straightforward story.

Lewis Cater directs a vibrant video for Australian pop-punk outfit&nbsp;Stand Atlantic's Jurassic Park.&nbsp;The visual follows lead singer Bon, as she travels through series of surreal,&nbsp;twisted rooms, finding herself in a number of uncomfortable scenarios.A mix between a hotel location and a game show&nbsp;gone wrong, the pastel-washed art direction sugarcoats a darker underbelly - without quite revealing the truth of what&nbsp;lurks beneath.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Lorenzo Levrini matches the hectic and confused energy of the concept with plenty of Dutch angles and hyperactive camera movement, and the 'to be revealed'&nbsp;tag at the end of the video promises a deeper dive into the&nbsp;world Cater has created, next time around...&nbsp;

The Magic Gang provide an antidote to the turbulent times we’re living in - and a comment on the less palatable side of remote socializing -&nbsp;in&nbsp;Georgina Cammalleri's video for Take Back the Track.&nbsp;Meeting on a Zoom-style video call app, the four bandmembers’&nbsp;attempts at remote rehearsal are repeatedly foiled by an unwanted guest - User1234. Their efforts to hunt down the mysterious stranger result in little joy - other than the appearance, via the 'random chat' facility,&nbsp;of an impromptu dance troupe. And they soon have their real and virtual worlds hijacked.&nbsp;As well as very much being a lockdown-era video, Cammalleri also pays&nbsp;homage to video-call thriller films&nbsp;like Unfriended&nbsp;and&nbsp;Searching. With the evident contributions of DoP Lorenzo Levrini and choreographer&nbsp;James Berkery, and&nbsp;a&nbsp;crucially precise cut by editor Jo Lewandowska, it&nbsp;is an inspired use of the format, and a marvel of lo-fi motion graphics and VFX, courtesy of Sandra Clua and Guy Davis.

Award-winning trans director, actor and activist Jake Graf puts a unique spin on Dickens' Ghost of Christmas Past in the video for The Star of Bethnal Green.&nbsp;Using the video as an opportunity to highlight the current pandemic of violence against trans people around the world, Graf weaves an emotional narrative depicting someone at Christmas watching a singer in a bar and feeling completely overwhelmed by both the performer and the performance,&nbsp;as if their entire life, identity, and purpose is revealed to them with each note of the song.Affecting and poignant, the video is an important step forwards for trans visibility in mainstream media, and an inspired visual representation of the themes in the track.&nbsp;

Locky collaborates with new rapper Respons on this affecting video which explores the impact of loss on those who remain.Like his MVA-nominated video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2018/08/21/daith%C3%AD-ft-sei-my-darkest-moments-locky/54639" target="_blank">Daithí's In My Darkest Moments</a>, this is a showcase for the director's talent with actors, investing them with realism even with minimal narrative direction. Captured by Lorenzo Levrini's excellent cinematography, this is all about&nbsp;the way the characters&nbsp;move - or remain still - and their haunted looks&nbsp;that draws in the viewer to interpret what they are seeing.Binding this all together are the words of Respons, who is also an impressive and positive presence among the an utterly credible landscape of despair. In other words, he is the embodiment of his own message in Pray For Change.&nbsp;&nbsp;

JGrrey explores a world of infinite possibilities&nbsp;in Dreaming Fool, directed by Harry Cauty.&nbsp;Set against an infinite black background, the video cleverly transitions from setup to setup, exploring scenes where JGrrey gets tattooed, lights a spliff and even gets watered like a plant. Like any good dream, it's equal parts surreal and idyllic.&nbsp;Shot in a refreshingly natural/ hand-held style, the absence of a gimbal adds a rough and ready quality to the visual, which is a nice juxtaposition to the buttery-smooth track. Each vignette has a distinct style to it, effortlessly moving from weird fashion to offbeat, almost comedic elements, and right back around again for another lap. It's frenetic and inventive, however there is a certain beauty to the project, allowing for poignant and emotional beats in between the quickfire action.&nbsp;JGrrey has a rare, hypnotic style to&nbsp;her performance, and has the ability to make you feel at home in an unfamiliar world. This is the glue to the whole concept- JGrrey will lead you into her universe and show you a good time, leaving you ready for more by the end of the track. And we certainly can't wait to see what's next.&nbsp;
