Kali Uchis embraces the darkness in UKMVA-nominated director Amber Grace Johnson's video for Solita.&nbsp;Dripping with sci-fi references and imagery, our first glance of Uchis is entombed in a concrete and glass coffin in the middle of the desert. Singing for the first time in both English and Spanish, the artist exudes sultry confidence, and across a series of vignettes we are introduced to various facets of her&nbsp;character.From performing&nbsp;in the white sand with a snake, to hypnotising a guy who is watching her poledance - and consequently kicking him in the face - the narrative is by no means straightforward, but one thing is clear: Kali does not mess around. The artist thrives in these conceptual setups, and whilst the project could have been a little too mismatched under a different director, Johnson executes it perfectly with her style, formed from having worked with some of the top talent in the world.&nbsp;"This song is about healing, freedom and embracing the mixed emotions that come with that," says Kali Uchis of Solita.&nbsp;"I hope my fans feel sexy when they listen to it. I’m so excited to share more.&nbsp;The vibe was sad, yet horny. There’s a little bit of sexiness in it, but it’s also nostalgic."The hook basically translates to, ‘I’d rather dance alone than with the devil.’ I think that just goes back to wanting to feel empowered about independence, rather than feel like, ‘Oh, poor me, I’m alone.’ It’s not really like that.”

Massive Attack return with their first new music for over five years, and a video for the excellent Tricky-featured Take It There by Hiro Murai&nbsp;which is pretty much everything&nbsp;you could hope for.The situation is familiar Murai territory - LA suburbia&nbsp;at night, shot naturally&nbsp;by DoP Larkin Sieple &ndash; into which comes the presence of a barely recognisable John Hawkes - shambling, decrepit, in a really bad way... and with his own personal band of demons.And what appears like a dramatic set-up becomes something very music video - a bit&nbsp;like Thriller, even, through the joint, bleaker perspective of Massive Attack, Hiro Murai and choreographer Ryan Heffington.&nbsp;A match made in&nbsp;heaven.

Massive Attack, Tricky & 3D 'Take It There' by Hiro Murai

Massive Attack, Tricky & 3D - Take It There

Director Björn Rühmann (formerly of directing team The Vikings), co-creator&nbsp;Kerstin Rühmann and songwriter/composer Anthony Frattolillo have created a trilogy of powerful short films that act as individual music videos for songs by&nbsp;American folk outfit the Herbert Bail Orchestra. And within each video, a series of broken characters face the drama of alienation and existential despair over the course of a single day.In the first part of the trilogy, The Nature of Things, the scene is set&nbsp;for the harrowing journey of a man (played by English actor Richie Coster) through the barren American desert, trying to save his only companion, his&nbsp;dog. His spirit and perseverance, beyond all hope, is the reason to keep watching this viscerally punishing film - and then be hooked by an ending that will make you want to watch the next one...

Gorgon City - Go All Night ft. Jennifer Hudson

It&#39;s&nbsp;the near future, and the drop-off in proper dancing by humans&nbsp;is killing the flame of passion that keeps the human race going. So a Japanese couple decide to do something about it. Only Mr and Mrs Nakamatsu are&nbsp;having a few issues of their own...With his typically&nbsp;off-the-wall premise,&nbsp;Saman Kesh&#39;s video for Basement Jaxx&#39;s Never Say Never somewhat&nbsp;harks back to a couple of&nbsp;classic &#39;white-coat&#39;-themed vids for the Jaxx&nbsp;by Traktor. But Saman puts his own distinctively satirical (and butt-orientated)&nbsp;take on the whole lab scenario with his remarkable invention - The&nbsp;Twerkbot.Featuring sensory stimuli and JAXX-patented buttocks technology &ndash; and every couple is going to want to have one. In fact, thanks to Saman&#39;s work with Alterian Inc. (who also&nbsp;made Daft Punk&#39;s helmets, and work a lot with Spike Jonze), it almost looks like the Twerkbot is ready to go into production...

First there was Too Many Friends - Saman Kesh&#39;s video for Placebo last year,&nbsp;which introduced the forensic,&nbsp;multi-camera, highly cinematic, Phantom-shot and super-cool strand Unfortunate Details - narrated lugubriously by author Bret Easton Ellis.&nbsp;That was set in a party in the near-future. And now Saman has created a mirror-image video for Placebo&#39;s&nbsp;Loud Like Love. It&#39;s another party, where a sudden destructive incident requires some deep&nbsp;analysis. This time it&#39;s a sexy 1960s pool party; again, Easton Ellis narrates;&nbsp;and again Kesh&nbsp;demonstrates an awesome eye for detail and a brilliant and very stylish execution.&nbsp;

Shot in Iceland for that early winter feeling, Hiro Murai&#39;s promo for David Guetta&#39;s She Wolf is a very natural affair with a naked woman, a bunch of scary hunters and a pack of wolves (they could be huskies) roaming the beautiful but desolate landscape.Then the chorus hits and all digital hell breaks loose with some cool explosions, eruptions and general mayhem punctuating the action to very dramatic effect...&nbsp;

Isaac Rentz goes on a trip through the countryside with The Feeling in aid of the promo to new single Set My World On Fire.
Harnessing a strange glowing sphere (the sun) to change night into day, Rentz takes a simple idea of contrasting light with shade to a successful conclusion.
