Charlie Di Placido shows his trademark skill in bringing choreography to the screen in&nbsp;this joyous promo for Jessie Ware.&nbsp;Inspired by Ware’s time in Brazil, the&nbsp;video for Begin Again features Ware as the central figure throughout the concept, as she moves across two polarised spaces embracing shadows and surrounded by dancers.Packed full of energy, the video is terrific showcase for the continued reinvention of Jessie Ware as a great singer having fun with the concept of being a proper diva, in an invigorating and unique way.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;"I’m a massive fan of Jessie's music and this album feels like a seminal musical moment for her - so this was real privilege of a project to work on," says Di Placido&nbsp;- a recent guest&nbsp;on The Promonews Podcast.&nbsp;"Her work ethic and personality really shone through during rehearsals and she was a joy to work with and so generous with her dancers."The video for Jessie Ware comes at a hugely busy time for Di Placido, who has been directing videos for the new Everything But The Girl album, as well as continuing his long association with Jungle, co-directing videos with the band's J Lloyd for their new visual album project."Dance is at the centre of everything I do as a director and a huge part of my day-to-day working life," he continues. "The infectious energy and creative boundary-pushing my dancers and choreographers bring to my projects is an endless source of inspiration. This was no different&nbsp;and working closely with Olivier Casamayou from I COULD NEVER BE A DANCER, we found a performance that was both true to Jessie and the uplifting feeling of the music."Pete Bishop is an exciting young cinematographer I hold in high esteem and I love the look he achieved for the video, topped off by another stunning grade from my colourist Alex Gregory of No.8 London.”

Jessie Ware 'Begin Again' by Charlie Di Placido

Jessie Ware - Begin Again

After a hiatus of 24 years, Everything But The Girl are back, with addictive new release Nothing Left To Lose.&nbsp;Charlie Di Placido's video for the&nbsp;single presents a couple in the middle of a large café,&nbsp;who are swept up by the beat and launched into an energetic display of choreography.&nbsp;The other punters join in, as does the cashier, all joining together as one hive mind, until the music ends and all is back to normal.&nbsp;Shot in one take, the video is a whirlwind of creativity, which takes a familiar concept and elevates it to a new level.&nbsp;

Everything But The Girl - Nothing Left To Lose

Charlie Di Placido and J&nbsp;Lloyd bring the gang back together for a special Jungle project - a double-header for the new tracks Good Times and Problemz.Maintaining the longstanding tradition of Jungle videos, this once again features a large group of dancers working together to create a brilliant spectacle to accompany the production&nbsp;duo's euphoric music - in this case, two uplifting routines.[imgtoken data:1]The group includes the Ghetto Funk Collective dance company, and its dancer/choreographers&nbsp;Roché Apinsa and Ruben Chi have the chance to shine in a more than usually pared-down setting for the studio-set piece.As well as the regular directing team of Di Placido and Lloyd - aka Jungle's Josh Lloyd-Watson - DoP Olly Wiggins is back to shoot this single video for two tracks, implementing a theatrical lighting change to create a distinction between the two: with the bright and breezy Good Times, the studio is cast in warm off-white; for Problemz, things get darker, and sexier, as the studio turns a shade of deep red...

2010's boyband The Wanted are back, with an emotional&nbsp;promo from director Blake Claridge.Shot on Osea island, we see each of the artists attached to a parachute, having just landed in the idyllic location. They are guided towards each other by a mysterious woman, before reacquainting&nbsp;just in time for a mesmerising fireworks display.&nbsp;Talking about the project, Claridge says, "Shooting on an island in Essex in September&nbsp;wasn’t ideal but we certainly lucked out with the weather, which played in our favour of making the boys look great. Being part of creating a comeback video for where they are right now was wonderful to be a part of."Paying homage to their upbeat, glossy videos of yesteryear, Claridge has captured the energy of the band perfectly, blending the nostalgia of their original work with a more mature sensibility.&nbsp;

Florian Joahn sees double in his promo&nbsp;for MØ’s new single Kindness.Influenced by the classic George Michael and Mary J Blige vid for As, Joahn presents a perpetually spinning visual, interspersed with&nbsp;doppelgängers of&nbsp;Mø and a flurry of dancers.&nbsp;Hypnotic in its aesthetic, the use of oversaturated, contrasting colour palettes and bold visual effects develops into a maximalist visual feast.&nbsp;

Potter Payper runs the game in this impressive promo for Topshottas Freestyle, directed by&nbsp;Darnell Depradine.Dripping in luxury styling and jewellery, the video opens with Payper standing tall above a makeshift factory of sorts, where dozens of workers are packaging&nbsp;CDs and various merchandise for distribution.&nbsp;Reaffirming his status as CEO and the only boss in&nbsp;his company, it's a huge flex that is backed up by a fresh, intricately executed concept, making use of a breathtaking location and slick camera moves&nbsp;- not to mention a confident and assured performance."I've always wanted to work with Potter so naturally there was pressure as I wanted to execute a groundbreaking visual and challenge myself as well as my team," says Darnell Depradine."The complexity of the idea brought a lot of challenges but with a great team, we were able to pull it off. Big thank you to Marisa Garner and my team Creativs-Label who really helped me create this moment."[imgtoken data:1]
