Jordan Rossi directs a cathartic promo for Sir Tom Jones, featuring actor/dancer Iain Mackay.&nbsp;The track is a&nbsp;reversioning of the&nbsp;Bob Dylan song, and touches&nbsp;upon&nbsp;frank realisations about growing old, whilst still evoking a sense of positivity.The video focusses upon Mackay as a solitary drinker in a dive bar, chugging back the beers whilst&nbsp;lost in painful&nbsp;thought. As Sir Tom and the Dylan-penned track get going, his spirits start to improve. Soon he is off the barstool,&nbsp;dancing&nbsp;around the venue, leaving no part of the room untouched.&nbsp;And then, after reclaiming his sense of self, he leaves - driving off in a vintage Pontiac.[imgtoken data:1]"The concept for Not Dark Yet represented something very unique to me - even in the harrowing nature of this awareness of being near the end of your life there is a kernel of positivity that I wanted to hone in on," says Rossi."I remember writing in the treatment that you're never too old to have some fun and that's exactly what this is. No matter where life has taken you to you can always find a bit of fun somewhere. Particularly in the music."I really wanted to ensure that the video had some emotionality to it. I tried to imbue the video with every inch of detail that I could, some aspect that everyone would recognise in themselves. Whether that's the down-and-out start or the carefree climax or simply a love of music that is splashed across the entire piece.[imgtoken data:2]"I couldn't have completed the video without our protagonist Iain Mackay, ex-principal dancer from the Birmingham Royal Ballet, who came in at the last minute - literally the night before the shoot - and absolutely understood what we were trying to achieve."But also [DoP] Luke Scully who helped develop the visual style with me, Elle [Lotherington, 1st AD] who kept us on track throughout a tricky day and Natricia [Bernard, choreographer] whose energy and ingenuity never cease to amaze me."Scully's cinematography, including the use of&nbsp;different overlays and digital grain creates a slightly gritty and timeless feel.&nbsp;"The visual style takes inspiration from 1970s B-Movies and the Grindhouse genre, popularised in recent years by the likes of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez," says Rossi.&nbsp;"But I chose to swap the action-packed gore for an upbeat two-step."

Jordan Rossi returns with a candy-coated performance promo for Sophie Ellis-Bextor and The Feeling.Incorporating footage from blockbuster feature&nbsp;Everyone's Talking About Jamie - the movie version of the musical co-written by The Feeling's Dan Gillespie Sells -&nbsp;Rossi soaks the video in&nbsp;his signature colourful aesthetic, building the concept around vibrant performance vignettes.&nbsp;Since the video went live, Jordan has hosted a number of talks on diversity and LGBTQ+ representation, calling for greater inclusion and action from the industry as LGBTQ&nbsp;hate crimes continue to rise within the UK."I was so thrilled when the brief came over as I was such a fan of the musical," says Rossi.&nbsp;"And then getting to collaborate with artists such as Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who I've always greatly admired, and The Feeling, who are continual hitmakers, was an absolute dream."It was a fantastic shoot day with great energy on set. Luke [Scully, the DoP] really nailed the look and feel harkening back to those old smoky club nights. Also congratulations have to go to Sophie whose recent 24 Hour Danceathon raised over one million pounds for Children In Need. She's amazing."

Will Nicholls directs a fun-filled promo for young London indie band Sterling Press, who turn up to play at a local pub and encounter a formidable pub landlady.&nbsp;The energetic performance video for Lots Of Noise&nbsp;stars Molly Hanson as the aforementioned&nbsp;landlady, seemingly unimpressed with the ska-influenced rock stylings of the fourpiece band - but it turns out she is on her own&nbsp;frustrated quest to be a&nbsp;star.With the help of great cinematography&nbsp;by Luke Scully and Hanson's full-blooded performance,&nbsp;Nicholls weaves&nbsp;the whimsical narrative with the band's high energy&nbsp;performance, and builds to a big climax. Do not mess with this lady...&nbsp;

Chris Turner, aka Favourite Colour: Black, directs a luxurious,&nbsp;gold-hued visual for The Vamps' Married In Vegas.&nbsp;The exuberance and excess of Sin City trickles down into something more&nbsp;abstract in this&nbsp;video, with the band performing in a brutalist space with a woman covered head-to-toe in gold body paint.&nbsp;Casting aside any usual narrative structure or expectations, the concept instead focuses on striking set pieces and stylish art direction, culminating in a perfect comeback video&nbsp;for the London-based group.&nbsp;

Girlgroup Four Of Diamonds take control of their own narrative in Chris Turner aka Favourite Colour: Black's vibrant video for The Writer.&nbsp;The girls are facing off against a God-like narrator called Mr Domino, who&nbsp;types every lyric and action onto an old typewriter. He smugly takes pleasure in the control he&nbsp;thinks&nbsp;he has on these women - but things are about to change.Then&nbsp;the girls smash through the limitations society has imposed on them, with an empowering display of choreography and high-energy performance. The Four rewrite a new beginning,&nbsp;taking their rightful place centre-stage, nothing holding them back.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Luke Scully utilises plenty of frenetic camera moves and distorted composition to create the breathless atmosphere, matching the concept and themes perfectly.&nbsp;

Criminally underrated pop sensation Alice Chater joins a post-apocalyptic witches coven in&nbsp;Tonight -&nbsp;but if you were expecting something dark and gloomy in Chris Turner (aka Favourite Colour:Black)’s latest video for Alice&nbsp;you'd be very wrong.With high fashion styling, bubblegum pastel colours and choreography that would make her contemporaries quake&nbsp;in their boots, the video hits the right notes throughout.The mansion location is reminiscent of American Horror Story: Coven, and a couple of nods to ouija boards and the devil proves that Alice is more than confident letting her darker side out. She knows she isn't a cut and paste pop star, and the video is no doubt an exciting glimpse of what's to come.&nbsp;

KT Tunstall returns with her sixth album and a surprising makeover from her classic rock-folk persona of the previous five.Swathed in dark robes, and captured in moody black and white, KT has been transformed into a veritable pop diva by Alexo Wandael. And not only that, she&#39;s dancing.Arguably channeling some Kate Bush and Madonna from Frozen (the Chris Cunningham video, that is), KT is engaged in a sensual, downright sexy pas de deux with chiselled, six-packed partner Alex Thomas.It&#39;s a very stylish as well as audacious new image direction, orchestrated by Wandael, an&nbsp;architect-turned-art-and-fashion photographer, who is now turning his hand to music video direction. On this showing, a future in the field is there for the taking.

Favourite Colour: Black (Chris Turner) second video for new artist Alice&nbsp;is a highly stylised performance piece, with an undeniable retro feel, but&nbsp;with its foot still firmly in the 21st century.Within a series of nicely art-directed setups, the&nbsp;combination of dim lighting and&nbsp;red luminescence&nbsp;adds to the atmospheric feel of the video.&ldquo;I always think very visually when I&rsquo;m in the studio and Heartbreak Hotel was no different,&rdquo; says Alice. &ldquo;I already had the concept for the video in my head whilst writing the song &ndash; we have rehab for everything else so why not for the broken-hearted?! &ldquo;I loved working with Chris on my first video GIRLS X BOYS and was so happy we got to collaborate again on this one. He comes with great ideas and I love all his references. He works with a fantastic team who help make the shoot day as stress free as possible and I&rsquo;m so happy with how the video turned out.&rdquo;

It&#39;s a video portrait, as stark and atmospheric as Hassan&#39;s uncompromising music.
