Lauzza and Coults link up for a new collab, to ask the question, Is It Cool?The answer is certainly. We&nbsp;follow Coults through a trendy high rise apartment as he glitches, smokes, argues with his partner, and performs as objects levitate around him.The neo-goth, Y2K aesthetics compliment&nbsp;the overall atmosphere, and give the video a nostalgic yet on-trend vibe.&nbsp;Is it cool? Yes indeed.

Pip + Lib direct a heartwrenching promo for&nbsp;JGrrey, featuring Kojey Radical.The track&nbsp;is a tribute to the artist's&nbsp;best friend&nbsp;James, who sadly lost his battle with depression, and marks the first collaboration between JGrrey and Kojey Radical, having known each other for a decade.&nbsp;The video for May depicts a support group which descends into chaos and violence, via an outpour&nbsp;of complex emotions and the fear of being truthful with oneself.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;"From the moment we received our first voicenote from Jen [JGrrey], we knew this was gonna be a special project," say Pip + Lib. "We then met up around Jen's kitchen table, and between us sort of birthed this safe space for ideas, thoughts and creativity."Jen handed their vision over to us, and we cradled it from their brain and out into the world. Trust is one thing all directors, creatives, and basically everyone wants when working on something, and we were so thankful to have that&nbsp;in mountain loads."The respect for our ideas and new paths was rare and beautiful. On the shoot day, a community of queer creatives came together, to create for a queer artist. A bliss, sacred space. In so many words. It was special. And we hope for it to be the beginning of something more!"

Hora Bolz directs an impressive music film for El Perro, consisting of visuals for the tracks&nbsp;Call Me When You're Home and Let Me Think That Again.Filmed in southern Spain, the concept is a surrealist twist to the classic Sword Of Damocles story: a couple of outlaws&nbsp;whose life is controlled by destiny and anxiety&nbsp;have to make a decision, to help&nbsp;them understand the true definition of their relationship."The idea for this came hand-in-hand with the location," explains Bolz.&nbsp;"It was really important for me to create a world that felt realistic enough so the surreal elements in it felt authentic. Like when you wake up from a dream, and you need to take a moment to understand what’s going on."For me, the best part when watching a movie - or any art piece -&nbsp;is the interpretation. That’s why I wanted this music video to be like a riddle. It had to be fun for you to decipher, and for me to see what you’ve found."DoP&nbsp;Benjamin Cotgrove adds that the video was shot in extremely testing conditions. "We ended up shooting at the height of summer during 40 degree celsius heat - at times the sun was pretty unbearable," he says. "I knew shooting on 16mm the stock wouldn’t miss a beat and even with our schedule forcing us to shoot when the sun was high noon, film helped to balance the crude, raw sun on the face of our cast."We had an incredible local crew who were not unfamiliar with these conditions and knew exactly how to support us through this: keep a cooler bag ready for the film."

Raye self-directs a devastatingly raw and poignant promo for Ice Cream Man.&nbsp;Produced by an all-female crew with Raye at the helm,&nbsp;the one-take video&nbsp;explores the process of confronting a past experience with sexual assault.&nbsp;We see Raye stagger into a women's bathroom and take solace in an empty cubicle, her powerful performance guided by the hearbreaking lyrics.&nbsp;As the video moves on, her inner resilience emerges. The line 'You pathetic dead excuse for a man'&nbsp;sees her rise to her feet, wipe her face and&nbsp;straighten her clothes. The audience witness&nbsp;her finding her inner strength, tenderly picking herself up and&nbsp;exiting the room.&nbsp;“It was the toughest thing I ever filmed," says Raye. "I only managed to do about three takes in the whole day, and I spent most of the day hidden in a small room on my own with a radio. I just think you do have to go there, and it’s both awful and beautiful at the same time, which is how the song makes me feel.”The video ends with a poignant message from the singer:“When I experienced sexual assault and rape, I didn’t tell anyone. 1 in 4 people experience sexual assault in their lifetime. The odds are that is at least 25% of you reading this. This evil has more power over us in the dark than it does the light. If I can encourage anything, let’s not bury it deep down inside us forever.”

Girli is haunted by overwhelming emotions, in&nbsp;Kassandra Powell's promo for Imposter Syndrome.&nbsp;We see Girli in an American-style&nbsp;diner, where every other customer&nbsp;appears to be giving her the evil eye. She hallucinates a surreal barrage of mocking looks and angry stares.&nbsp;Surrounded by a judgemental mob&nbsp;in the restaurant, she breaks out, only to become part of another mob, of angry group protesters.“We wanted to create a combination of aesthetics taking inspiration from Americana &amp; Wes Anderson," says Powell.Casting from Girli's fanbase (Pinkies), the creative team were lucky enough to get a crowd of excited extras to hold placards in the protest scene, which adds a lot of production value to the project.&nbsp;

The full spectrum of human emotion is on display in a small photobooth, in&nbsp;Sayna Fardaraghi's evocative promo for Tom Grennan.&nbsp;The video for Grennan's Here sees the pop star as a DIY handyman, fixing and sorting out an aging photobooth, as a variety of different characters enter and exit, each with their own stories and purpose.[imgtoken data:1]There are romantic couples, friends, strangers, self-conscious prom queens, robbers...&nbsp;each taking centre stage in their own stylised vignettes.&nbsp;With energy and emotion packed into the concept - all tied together by several quickfire montages of still images, which expand upon the characters - this is an impressive&nbsp;debut pop video by Sayna Fardaraghi, who recently signed to Forever.[imgtoken data:2]"I've always wanted to create an intimate connection between complete strangers through shared memories, moments and experiences," says&nbsp;Fardaraghi. "A&nbsp;photobooth became the perfect&nbsp;microcosm&nbsp;for that for me. It's something so simple yet so effective&nbsp;and hasn't been often explored cinematically.[imgtoken data:3]"The photobooth in the music video is a room that experiences the good, the vulnerable, and sometimes the bad. It's that ephemeral moment that we've all had at some point in our lives, and bringing that to the screen accompanied by Tom's incredible song, his energy and the array of featured talent has been a pleasure to work with.&nbsp;"I couldn't have asked for a better array of talent and crew to bring this to life.&nbsp;It brought so many folks together and was packed with beautiful on-camera surprises.[imgtoken data:4]"When I spoke to Tom we discussed how it should be a range of scenarios and emotions that are more&nbsp;real&nbsp;than fictional, exploring more dark moments and not just all light and frivolous. I went through the scenarios I had in mind and made sure they're&nbsp;all at some point relatable and 'real life'&nbsp;than pure fiction and otherworldly."One of my favourite parts came when discussing the development of the peak of the song with my DOP Charlie Knight. We spoke about how integral the photobooth&nbsp;flash needed&nbsp;to be, and went through a series of tests with different bulbs to find the perfect one&nbsp; - I&nbsp;mean perfect colour, brightness intensity, flash size, etc. My goodness was it so worth it!&nbsp;[imgtoken data:5]"The trickiest part was the peak of the song and aligning the images as closely as possible. If you freeze on the hands you'll find that the next frame matches it as closely as possible, but still shows a different moment frozen in time. This took a long while to perfect, but truly has paid off and is such an integral part of the music video. Big thanks to Toby Heard our editor who was a dream to work with!"

Luis Hindman directs a kaleidoscopic promo for Master Peace, the second of three videos he's directed for the South London musician.&nbsp;The frenetic, colour-soaked video for Veronica sees the artist take&nbsp;an interest in the song's namesake, spotting her at a club before seeing spiralling into a Y2K-inspired fever dream.&nbsp;The name Veronica starts to appear everywhere - on bottles, necklace pendants and even a pack of cigarettes - and before long, the whole room has warped into a series of fluid textures and uncanny forms.&nbsp;Shot on 16mm, the video has a gritty yet vibrant aesthetic, with a truly trippy vibe throughout. A fine follow-up to the equally vibrant and energetic video Hindman directed for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGlct4ccNBQ" target="_blank">Country Life</a>.&nbsp;

Master Peace 'Veronica' by Luis Hindman

Kelvin Jones directs an action-packed promo for Aitch.&nbsp;&nbsp;The video for Fuego boasts&nbsp;a handful of chaotic vignettes, which move at breakneck speed and are presented through a self-aware, contemporary internet lens.The eccentric, full-on style is elevated by&nbsp;subtle computer animation effects, including a jarring 'buffering' scene, and&nbsp;melting, textural transitions - which very much match the Fuego vibes."When Aitch and I first sat down, we had a whole 8+ scene idea of fun things we could do, but as time went on we chopped it down to create order," says Jones. "Fuego symbolises fire so we wanted to have as much fiery stuff going on to capture the idea behind the track.&nbsp;&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]"Shoot day was very fun, but we also had a lot to do to achieve the shot list. We played around with probe lenses and large format cameras to capture the depth of all of the scenes."We even got a grill made for Aitch that we sorted out days before the shoot so that he could wear it for the extreme close-up scenes. We always have fun with Aitch on set and he is willing to do most of the things I tell him for a great shot - ha ha.&nbsp;He even comes up with fun ideas that adds to the video to make it even better."We have a lot of chemistry, so it is usually a breeze and we are always on the same page. We also went all out and spent money on a car flip that our producer put forward to us. I then sent Aitch the reference video of the car flip and we said 'yep this needs to be in the video',&nbsp;so we made it happen no matter what."

Giles Edward-N directs a fantastical period piece for Corella, recreating&nbsp;famous work from photographers&nbsp;Enzo Sellerio, Michael Ochs and Diane&nbsp;Arbus in the video for Flood.Highlighting the fashion and punk aesthetic from the 1940s through to the '70s, each&nbsp;vignette crescendos into life as the flood of the chorus unfolds.DoP&nbsp;Jed Darlington-Roberts cleverly recreates photographic lighting setups and composition to lean into this concept, and the use of an ornate frame to envelope the subject across the vignettes adds an extra textural dimension.&nbsp;

Carlota Guerrero&nbsp;directs a dazzling, challenging&nbsp;promo for Ellie Goulding.The video for Let It Die presents a series of&nbsp;performance setups, blending contemporary aesthetics with raw, primal movement and animalistic instinct.&nbsp;Visualising the breakdown of a relationship through these abstract scenes, the contrast&nbsp;of refinement and spontaneity bleeds into every element, from the gallery-esque location to the sensational styling - including a naked breast-revealing bra top worn by Ellie.&nbsp;
