Kassandra Powell directs an atmospheric promo for singer-songwriter Lucy Lane, bringing to life a dark fairy tale.&nbsp;The video concept for Don't Want To Be Angry focusses&nbsp;on a girl whose anger grows in her hair.&nbsp;Across three abstract vignettes, we see Lane embody this character, eventually breaking through and releasing her anger in a decisive climax.&nbsp;The dark fantasy aesthetic is a perfect pairing to the concept, with painterly lighting and a sense of inspired minimalism to keep the focus purely on performance.&nbsp;

Paul Johnson directs a thought-provoking promo for Royal Blood.The video for Pull Me Through sees a middle-aged everyman sat in the driver's seat of a car, unable to move as it fills with water.&nbsp;A cast of characters start to surround the vehicle, looking on judgementally as the driver struggles to make any move at all, eventually sinking into the abyss.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;It's a video with a strong mental health subtext, and perfectly visualises the anxiety and fear that can come with everyday life.&nbsp;The textural, square ratio format also harks back to videos of the late 90's, and the aesthetic perfectly fits this thematic choice - the video is far from crisp, glossy HD, and this adds to the haunting quality of the video.&nbsp;

Samuel Douek continues his collaboration with&nbsp;Yonaka, following the action-packed video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2023/02/06/yonaka-panic-samuel-douek/80251" target="_blank">Panic</a>, by directing&nbsp;the first of five visualisers for the Brighton band's forthcoming EP.All the visualisers were conceived as a single body of work, each one stripped back to single setups with stark simple set design. A motion control robotic arm was used to allow Douek and team to seamlessly cut between various chaotic setups as continuous shots.

Kassandra Powell directs an absorbing comeback promo for Bimini, which shows that you can find glamour in the most unlikely places.&nbsp;The&nbsp;video for Rodeo opens with Bimini on a mechanical bull, shining bright as lights refract from the&nbsp;abundance of reflective monochromatic textures.&nbsp;Quickly bringing the concept back down to Earth, we realise this whole setup is in a typical British pub, and the punters are as about as apathetic to Bimini's performance as they come. But whilst most glare&nbsp;disapprovingly as Bimini continues to do her thing, one character breaks out of their passive state to get absorbed into the otherworldly trance of the music.&nbsp;The contrast of glossy pop concept and&nbsp;stoic public is a brilliant visual dynamic, and DoP&nbsp;Luke Dryden's cinematography captures the perfect balance of these two opposing styles.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Joshua Stocker directs a beautiful and moving promo for Guvna B's autobiographical story of injustice, Bridgeland Road.&nbsp;Through a series of powerful vignettes - captured in outstanding cinematography by DoPs Adam Singodia and Luke Dryden - Stocker's video provides an atmospheric visual context for the London-born rapper, author and broadcaster's reflections upon his life following an unprovoked racially motivated attack, which he reported to the police but who dropped the case&nbsp;four months after the incident.Spurred on by Emmy award-winning actress and writer&nbsp;Michaela Coel - whose voicemail appears in the track around the halfway mark -&nbsp;Guvna B (aka Isaac Borquaye) reveals more about the attack and its subsequent handling by the police and legal process, while the monochrome video establishes the artist's world with artistic resonance.&nbsp;&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Stocker sets the scene with well-crafted scenes of the place&nbsp;where the artist&nbsp;grew up,&nbsp;detailing normal daily life, lazy afternoons and meetups with friends. But then representations of the harrowing attack and its aftermath, start to intrude while Guvna's heartfelt performance becomes the heart of the video.A director and photographer with considerable experience in bringing choreography to the screen - as in his excellent <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/04/19/olafur-arnalds-zero-joshua-stocker/70430" target="_blank">Olafur Arnalds video for Zero</a> - Joshua&nbsp;Stocker's&nbsp;uses all that experience, including movement direction of his on-screen extras, to craft the stream of images.That makes this piece, over five minutes long, a mesmerising experience.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Charlie Rees directs&nbsp;a euphoric promo for Eats Everything's new single, Tell You What It Is.In the video, we see an exhausted hotel porter shake off his stressful day, being struck by a sudden need to dance.&nbsp;The increasingly surreal environment sees the character mutate, separate from his clothing and glitch as he vibes out to the track, putting on a spectacular show at various points in the building.&nbsp;Captivatingly shot, the video seamlessly stitches together separate scenes with careful timing and clever visual effects, to elevate the surreality of the concept.“The video is a euphoric fever dream that follows an exhausted hotel porter into the void as he’s confronted with the different elements of his character that are being stifled and want to come out and dance," explains Rees.&nbsp;"It was so much fun to direct. I've been wanting to create a dance video that's led by a surreal/archaic narrative for some time. It's a style that I want to explore further. The song is rooted in 90s rave culture so I have referenced some of my 90s favourites. See if you can spot Human Traffic, Fatboy Slim's Weapon of Choice&nbsp;and The Matrix, to name a few."

Directing team SPTMBR create an intriguing video for&nbsp; singer Monday Was Special, elevating a domestic setting&nbsp;with mythic importance through a very skilful&nbsp;use of resources.The video tells of the journey of a young couple - where a feeling of claustrophobia and sense of entrapment is gradually overcome. As well as directing impressive performances from the lead actors, exceptional cinematography by Luke Dryden helps to create a stylish and atmospheric work, divided into three parts given engimatic graphic symbols as chapter headings.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]"With Bespoke, we wanted to create a video that spoke to the themes of unexpected parenthood - that great step into the unknown," say SPTMBR.&nbsp;"This manifested as the idea of a young couple stuck in life’s waiting room - a kind of limbo where they feel their destiny is unclear, as parents and as partners."The three acts of the film link to different Greek and Roman Goddesses. Act 1 features Urania (associated with universal love and the Holy Spirit), Act 2 features Hera and Juno (Goddesses of women and family) and Act 3 features Artemis and Diana (Goddesses of childbirth and midwifery)."Above all, it’s about transformation: the birth and rebirth of the characters."

Samuel Douek directs a warm and reflective promo for Mabel's Time After Time.&nbsp;You've probably heard Mabel's cover of the Cyndi Lauper classic on the McDonald's Christmas commercial this year, which depicts the story of a girl who outgrows&nbsp;her imaginary friend, before a trip to a McDonalds restaurant&nbsp;jogs her memory.&nbsp;The visual interpretation in the official music video is quite different, opting for a real-life, heartfelt concept which ponders love and loss,&nbsp;remembering those who are no longer with us, whilst looking forward to the future.&nbsp;The genuine emotion&nbsp;and intimate setup of the vignettes makes for a profound viewing experience, whilst Mabel's performance is spot-on as always.&nbsp;

James Blunt brings a shockwave of fear with him, in Jamie Thraves' hilarious video for Unstoppable.&nbsp;It's a concept that wouldn't get past the commissioners desk in 99% of cases, but with a self-deprecating artist like Blunt - who has proven time and time again he will go to places most artists wouldn't dream about - it is a match made in Heaven.&nbsp;Blunt is a walking, taking music machine, instilling absolute terror in everyone who crosses his path. People bleed from the ears, fall to the floor and hide in car boots to get away from him. But after one man takes the time to make proper eye contact with his charming smile, it's all turned on its head.&nbsp;Very charming. And very James Blunt.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

It's 2066, and Josh Barry is reminiscing about his 2021 self in this video for the soul singer's Rush, from his debut EP,&nbsp;by directing team Three Shades.In fact, Josh takes on various incarnations in this playful piece, from the older fellow taking a nostalgic dive into his record collection, to the younger man dancing, drinking and chilling. And there are also various musician-versions of Barry, including his old school soul vocalist alter-ego.[imgtoken data:1]Ultimately this all serves the gentle groove of the song and the sense of nostalgia and fantasy is given a vintage feel thanks to Luke Dryden's moody&nbsp;cinematography."Rush is a trip down memory lane for an ageing Josh, reliving youthful memories triggered by the track," explain London-based Three Shades about this, their second video for Josh Barry.&nbsp;"As he gets lost in nostalgia, the lines between reality, memory and fantasy become blurred and he is overwhelmed by the experience, collapsing in a blissful ecstasy.[imgtoken data:2]"It is a playful but introspective reflection on the absurdity of time - as it passes it feels infinite but once gone it's only retrievable in the form of hazy, rose-tinted memories."
