Jordan Rossi directs an empassioned promo for South African singer-songwriter, actor and novelist Nakhane, featuring Perfume Genius, with a work that takes its cue from some pillars of Queer cinema and art.&nbsp;The video for Do You Well begins&nbsp;with Nakhane and their love interest glistening under sparkling lights in a studio space, and then&nbsp;battling to create a common ground, before finally connecting with each other.&nbsp;Gorgeous and thrilling, the video visualises a complex set of emotions in a stylish and thought-provoking manner, and the end result is wonderfully alluring.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]"Nakhane already had a concept for this video," Rossi reveals.&nbsp;"It was very much centred around a wrestling encounter between two people in a homoerotic fashion. They wanted to express the idea of a duel and the ridiculous nature of aggressive masculinity."Nakhane and I drew inspiration from lots of Queer art and cinema such as Pink Narcissus by James Bidgood, Querelle by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Moonlight by Barry Jenkins and Sebastien by Derek Jarman. We also looked at features like Fight Club and Shame - both dealing with masculinity, sex and relationships in a unique manner.[imgtoken data:2]"Visually, I wanted a really deep and textured image with lots of energy. Tony Scott's turbulent yet cinematically rich style of compressed imagery was a huge source of inspiration here.&nbsp;"It's not every day you get to make projects such as this so a huge shout out goes to Faye who commissioned it, the record label for giving us complete creative freedom and Nakhane for being such a trusting collaborator."

Troy Roscoe teams up with KSI for another ambitious collaboration, with the video for Summer Is Over.&nbsp;The slick visual sees KSI at an end-of-summer barbecue, moving around the scene and performing as the other guests celebrate in slow motion.&nbsp;VFX-heavy yet completely seamless - even with scattered showers, grey skies and&nbsp;various liquids and textures to contend with&nbsp;- it's a brilliant concept executed to perfection.&nbsp;"Hands down one of the hardest shoots I’ve had to date," Roscoe says. "Anyone that is either edit or visual effects savvy will be able to appreciate the complexity of the concept."On paper it's simple: KSI walking through scenes performing whilst everybody is in slow motion. But actually executing that with typical British weather as a factor, proved far from simple. But we pulled it off!&nbsp;"We shot the video on Monday and was complete by the Friday! I’m so proud of my team and the hard work that went into it and as always KSI is a pleasure to work with."

Burna Boy brings the carefree vibes in Troy Roscoe's promo for It's Plenty.&nbsp;Interweaving live performance and a laidback series of&nbsp;vignettes, the focus is purely on good times, with an overarching feeling of optimism and celebration.&nbsp;"As one of my favourite songs at this moment, I was super excited when Burna's team hit me up for this," Roscoe says."The song is nothing but good vibes and it was important that the visuals represented that. The video captures people from all walks of life coming together for enjoyment. We want people the watch the video and look forward to good times. When I show family and friends this video they smile the whole way through so it’s safe to say the video was a success!"Textural VHS overlays and subtle visual effects seamlessly tie together the various setups, and Burna Boy's performance ensures that all eyes are on him throughout.&nbsp;

Knucks and&nbsp;Kwengface take centre stage in Dir. Lx's compelling promo for Lucious.&nbsp;Navigating the world of paparazzi and relentless media attention, we see the artists surrounded by middle men and journalists, whilst they try and move through their day-to-day lives with as little disruption as possible.&nbsp;Though left purposefully abstract in terms of narrative, the video packs in lots of references - including a slick nod to Pulp Fiction and The Dark Knight - whilst weaving Lx's signature style into every frame.&nbsp;The video is anchored by strong performances and engaging vignettes, which work just as well as standalones as they do part of the larger visual world.&nbsp;

Camden Cox is hooked into a relationship that veers between the yummy to the toxic - and back again - in Rebekah B's stylishly-shot video for Elevated.Shot in a deserted nightclub, reality and fantasy collide in a number of dreamlike set-ups crafted with the characteristic skill by the&nbsp;director, with terrific use of colour. And the passion between Camden and her co-star&nbsp;looks pretty convincing.

KSI takes on himself in an explosive boxing match, in Troy Roscoe's slick and entertaining VFX-fired&nbsp;promo for Not Over Yet,&nbsp;featuring Tom Grennan.&nbsp;The first half of the video explores the preparation for the match, presenting slick vignettes where giant hailstones fall from the sky, and KSI plunges into a futuristic looking ice bath, training underwater - referencing an iconic photo of Muhammed Ali.&nbsp;When things get going inside the ring, things take a huge step up, boasting a true feat of careful pre-production and VFX based around a motion control shoot. So it's not so surprising that this is No.1 on YouTube's UK Music Video chart right now.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;"(This is) most definitely one of my most favourite shoots and videos to date!" says Troy Roscoe.&nbsp;"So much went into this. From pre-production to final delivery it was a meticulous process, as there were so many things that could go wrong.&nbsp;I knew we had our work cut out.&nbsp;"Usually you find yourself in a position where people have experience in how to pull these things off. But none of us had seen anything like it, as it’s very hard to make a clone come into contact with one another through VFX. Usually you would use deep fakes, but we went for an organic approach so that it looks as real as possible. And it’s safe to say we pulled it off![imgtoken data:2]"The concept is beautiful, as the root of it is something everybody can relate to, focussed on the fact that the only competition you actually have is [with] yourself. The fact that each day you should aim to be better than you were yesterday - and in this visual we provide an embodiment of that as KSI knocks the living daylight out of the old version of himself."It's a&nbsp;video I will be proud of forever, and will go down in my own personal history book!"

The New Hope Club boys experience four seasons in one day, in Troy Roscoe's feel-good promo for Getting Better.&nbsp;Walking around a residential block, we see the group take the elements in their stride, as they joyously perform in the middle of the street.&nbsp;"This was for sure one of my favourite shoots to date," says Roscoe. "Admittedly, as soon as I decided I wanted New Hope Club to walk through an abundance of weather elements, we had our work cut out. There was so much room for error, as instead of going for visual effects, we opted for real physical weather simulations."&nbsp;&nbsp;"The boys made this an absolute breeze - pardon the pun - as their raw talent, charisma and charm brought the visual to life and made it a pleasure to work with them. I think telling an artist you want them to walk through real rain, wind and snow is always a difficult conversation, but the boys were down for anything in order to achieve the epic video that we did."&nbsp;The playful concept is executed perfectly, and makes for a unique and refreshing visual. Now someone go get the group (and crew)&nbsp;a hot cup of tea!&nbsp;

Creative trio Three Shades direct an infectiously fun promo for Bastille.&nbsp;The video for Shut Off The Lights is a&nbsp;light-hearted look at how people might react if&nbsp;their connection to the virtual world was suddenly broken, in the middle of their working day.In an age of short attention spans and technological takeover, the video follows a&nbsp;rag-tag bunch of office workers, and details their escapades as they are left to&nbsp;their own devices (pun intended).Building upon the dystopian world of ‘Future Inc’ that Bastille had already created for their upcoming album, Three Shades set out to capture the joy, euphoria and childlike innocence of human interactions in their most basic forms. It's safe to say they have achieved that and much more in entertaining video.

Grant Taylor directs an exhilarating narrative promo for&nbsp;Genix &amp; Zashanell.Framed against the backdrop of clubs being closed up until recently, the video for All I Want&nbsp;follows two girls and their quest to set up an illegal rave. From location recces, to tense encounters with security, this story is about showing what it takes to pull off a night to remember.Matching the nostalgic vibe of the track, the visuals are evocative of a time when events were completely organised over the phone and in-person, presenting the highs, the lows and the pure ecstasy when such a night is pulled off.&nbsp;

Nicolee Tsin directs a nostalgic, sparkling promo for Amun's Mesmerised.&nbsp;Imbued with an on-trend 90's aesthetic, the video takes viewers from the car park to the roller rink, as Amun takes centre-stage in a flurry of vibrant performance vignettes.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Miguel Carmenes' glossy cinematography encapsulates the carefree vibes of the time period, whilst the graphic text adds a sense of authenticity to the aesthetic.[imgtoken data:1]"The video is a homage to '90s sitcom shows, further taking inspiration from film scenes from ATL," explains Tsin.&nbsp;"We wanted to make the visual as if it was a themed opening to Amun’s very own TV show but with a twist from&nbsp;Spring Breakers&nbsp;and&nbsp;Enter The Void."A vignette of life, culture, and community of the skating rink come together, topped with cute, customized rolling titles and bloopers."

Nicolee Tsin directs a&nbsp;moving vignette of interrelated characters migrating and crossing paths, in her promo for Palindrome's Birds.&nbsp;Isolated to the world around them, these&nbsp;characters exist in a plane separate to their surroundings, in search of love, escape and meaning in the city of London.Stalked by an omnipresent camera, we are offered glimpses into each person's narrative, before being torn away to another timeline as soon as we get comfortable. Though this is done in a soft, subtle way in the video, it could represent the way society lets 'shiny object syndrome' bleed into our relationships with other people - as soon as something better or more interesting comes along, we can cut any previous ties and pick up where we left off with someone new.&nbsp;The concept is a beautiful and thought-provoking one, with stunningly executed cinematography from DoP&nbsp;Miguel Carmenes.&nbsp;
