A woman escapes a forbidding testing facility in Jak Payne's video for Prospa's banging Control The Party.&nbsp;Shot in the soon to be demolished Fawley Power Station, the concept centres on a group of unwilling test subjects, reminiscent of the MK Ultra experiments of the 1960s. As the lead character, played by model Alice Dellal, enters the facility, she notices several others in various states of distress.&nbsp;With styling that nods towards Jean-Paul Gaultier's stunning bondage pieces&nbsp;in The Fifth Element, and a heavy use of dramatic red and green lighting, this is a dystopia that no-one wants to be a part of. Our protagonist escapes the facility with a little help from a friend, but as she sits on the beach enjoying her new found freedom, you can't help but wonder if she is going to get dragged right back in.&nbsp;

A girl struggles with crippling anxiety at a social gathering - which manifests itself in a number of surreal but wholly identifiable ways, in the video for new artist Jax0n.The song Words, his debut single,&nbsp;was inspired by a friend's mental health issues that were spawned by his struggle with sexual identity, but most importantly, how the power of words helped him overcome this. In the accompanying narrative, Mr Yankey &amp; Jack Ker - aka Mr. Mr. -&nbsp;present an emotive and surreal vision of social anxiety and depression.The film focuses around a girl called Imogen, played by Lilli Mathod, and the personal challenges she faces within a houseparty, as her social anxiety throws her into the bleak and surreal world of her psyche. It's an extreme version of the social awkwardness felt by many of us - and as it turns out, a few words and gestures from others can change everything... &nbsp;

Will &amp; Carly&#39;s video for Sody employs an apt and very effective device to project the powerful emotion that drives her song&nbsp;The Bully.&nbsp;Each cast member, including Sody, is in a photographic studio, as if having their school photo taken. And the camera serves to prize the inner angst from each of this diverse group. Lipsyncing the song, they each&nbsp;reveal they have suffered in the same way - at the hands of a bully. In that respect, Will &amp; Carly have pointed at the wider truth behind a very personal song.

Tim Mattia revisits his rock performance roots with this video for Sam Fender that packs a real punch.&nbsp;The performance of Fender and his band, captured in Mattia&#39;s trademark noirish black and white, and bursts of strobe light, is shot through with a succession of&nbsp;individuals who square up to the singer, all exhibiting serious levels of old-fashioned British aggression.As That Sound comes to its peak, a brilliantly fierce, kinetic edit by Vid Price&nbsp;goes into overdrive. it&#39;s a searingly powerful climax, where the individuals become a blur, and their aggression overpowered by the music.

The third video for Years &amp; Years&#39; second album Palo Santo sees Fred Rowson create a sort of postscript to the short film he directed that brought the album&#39;s dystopian universe to life, and provided the context for his videos for <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2018/03/12/years-years-sanctify-fred-rowson" target="_blank">Sanctify</a> and <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2018/05/16/years-years-if-youre-over-me-fred-rowson" target="_blank">If You&#39;re Over Me</a>.Once again, Y&amp;Y&#39;s frontman Olly Alexander is the smouldering human dancer existing in a world run by androids. But with All For You, Rowson focusses on performance, movement and&nbsp;atmosphere rather than narrative development. And ultimately it involves&nbsp;a tempestuous Olly pitting himself against a sexy android girl in a dance battle of the ages. It&#39;s all symbolic of the psychological battle raging within Olly Alexander.

Rob Brandon&#39;s video for Fickle Friends takes a familiar premise and makes it fresh and entertaining all over again.&nbsp;It&#39;s a casting session in which the auditionees fall under the mercy of a fussily idiosyncratic casting director - Rob Brandon himself.&nbsp;Pushing his charges to do all kinds of things for an unspecified production, out of which comes a performance of the bright and breezy Hello Hello, some stripping off and sexy dancing. &nbsp;Fun pop video vibes in the vein of Brandon&#39;s entertaining videos for George Ezra a couple of years back, whilst revealing the true reason why people want to direct: to get people to do silly things.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The final part of a trilogy of videos directed by Laura Marling for tracks for her new album Semper Femina, is another dance piece featuring the choreography&nbsp;of Alexandra Green.The piece accompanying the hypnotic The Valley is also very much the flipside of the second part in the trilogy. Here the focus is on the woman on the beach, swathed in flowing blue robes - the object of desire&nbsp;for the tormented woman in the sunlit bedroom in the video for Next Time.This time the action leading to their&nbsp;eventual reunion is extended through the choreography, and the editing, for maximum dramatic effect, which makes their final embrace all the more emotionally satisfying.Suffice to say&nbsp;that having completed this beautiful piece of music - in fact the whole of Semper Femina is wonderful - Marling has now directed a compelling, conceptually rigourous trio of videos which shows she has a real talent&nbsp;as a visual as well as a musical artist.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

This is the second of a trio of self-directed videos for tracks from Laura Marling&#39;s&nbsp;new album Semper Femina, and like the first, the emphasis is on female dance performance.Also like the video for the Soothing, Marling has collaborated with choreographer Ali Green on Next Time, but they set themselves different parameters, and explore a different aspect of female sensuality.&nbsp;The main performer is alone in a gracefully-styled master bedroom, and draws chalk circles around herself - and eventually escapes the self-imposed confines of the room to the beach where she meets another woman...&nbsp;

Ali Kurr presents a dreamlike director's cut version of her video for Connie Constance's&nbsp;Clouds.The second collaboration between artist and director, sees the two follow a similar aesthetic of domestic surrealism with a muted yet striking colour palette, but this time shot in 4:3. After Constance's panel talk at MusicVidFest late last year on her first collaboration with Kurr, and how the two have developed a trust to explore their aesthetic together, it's great to see the evolution of that pairing in a confident new clip. It comes complete with hazy motion blurs and a surreal contrast between domestic scenes and richly mysterious dances.

Two latex-clad female bodies intertwine&nbsp;in Laura Marling&#39;s self-directed video for Soothing, an intimate dance performance choreographed by Alexander Green which turns out to be less private than it first appears.&nbsp;Soothing is the first track released from Marling&#39;s forthcoming&nbsp;album Semper Femina, which continues her move into a more electric sound, started on her last album,&nbsp;Short Movie. She also began directing her own videos for tracks on the previous record, but this is her most assured effort yet, reflecting the lyrics, and the new album&#39;s themes of gender, sexuality and the female gaze.&nbsp;She told The FADER: &ldquo;I started out writing&nbsp;Semper Femina&nbsp;as if a man was writing about a woman. And then I thought it&rsquo;s not a man, it&rsquo;s me &mdash; I don&rsquo;t need to pretend it&rsquo;s a man to justify the intimacy of the way I&rsquo;m looking and feeling about women. It&rsquo;s me looking specifically at women and feeling great empathy towards them and by proxy towards myself.&rdquo;
