The Sacred Egg - London-based directing duo Alex Mavor and Ed Kaye - direct&nbsp;a mesmerising, and thought-provoking promo for Depeche Mode.&nbsp;In&nbsp;this incisive, metaphorical short story,&nbsp;couple try to work their way through a&nbsp;communication breakdown in a world where talking in the normal fashion is evidently impossible - and can only be achieved underwater.It's a concept that bounces beautifully&nbsp;off the theme of the track Wagging Tongue,&nbsp;brought to life in a dramatic, and highly cinematic fashion, with&nbsp;gorgeous black and white&nbsp;cinematography by legendary DoP Simon Chaudoir, and consummmate performances from the lead actors, assisted by the use of visual effects in the underwater scenes that add a&nbsp;supernatural, otherworldly angle.&nbsp;Echoing the style of the band's longtime collaborator and creative director Anton Corbijn, the monochromatic colour palette adds to the raw aesthetic, and helps tie the concept&nbsp;to Depeche Mode's considerable videography to date.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2][imgtoken data:3]

Bouha Kazmi reunites with ZAYN for this magnificent yet tragic&nbsp;short film for Satisfaction.Touching upon elements of spirituality that we feel but do not express, the richly cinematic narrative expresses the mercurial beauty of a relationship set against the backdrop of an ongoing war. And it reveals the harsh sacrifices that one is willing to make for love.

Jack White is repeatedly transposed into what appears to be the same room, that nonetheless transforms stylistically with each dizzying camera jerk.Us, the directing duo consisting of Christopher Barrett and Luke Taylor, have created a brilliant conceptual art piece for White&#39;s Over and Over and Over (from the new album Boarding House Reach), where the same space and same camera move is given infinite variety through an ever-changing cast of extras, different colours and props, and the accelerating speed of each move.All this reflects a track that moves from traditional Jack White territory into somewhere far more experimental.

After the emotional and erotically-charged video for Like A Woman, directing duo JACK have created another audacious and controversial&nbsp;piece in their second collaboration with&nbsp;Kacy Hill.For Hard To Love, the singer submits herself to a &#39;graphic performance&#39; by artist Christophe Brunnquell, who proceeds to write the song&#39;s lyrics on Hill&#39;s body - beginning with the word Trust on both her eyelids.What is striking is the full commitment to the idea, which in effect puts Hill in her interlocutor&#39;s control - nearly naked, strapped and suspended as he uses her as a canvas, with no half-measures. All this is captured with characteristic intimacy by Steve Annis&#39;s camerawork.But curiously it appears to be the second big pop video in recent weeks that is contestably influenced by the work of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114134/" target="_blank">British arthouse director Peter Greenaway</a>. Just don&#39;t call it a lyric video.&nbsp;

Kacy Hill - Hard To Love

Kacy Hill makes a big impression in her first big&nbsp;music video, with an exhibition of frank and robust sexuality,&nbsp;presented by&nbsp;directing duo JACK for Like A Woman.From the stylised rendition of her sexual awakening on the backseat of a bus, we dive headlong into Hill&#39;s fantasy, focussing on her body in fetishwear, glistening like a prizefighter under lights. There are references to American Beauty, and Botticelli&#39;s Birth Of Venus with bold portrait-like imagery that works well in showcasing Hill&#39;s impressive vocal talents.&ldquo;Like A Woman is an exploration of my own femininity and sexuality,&quot; says the singer. &quot;I want my audience to have a similar experience of their own while listening. My goal is not to make a statement, but make space for exploration without shame or guilt. I don&rsquo;t speak for all women. I speak for Kacy Hill.&rdquo;

Ryan De La Cruz takes a joyride with some familiar company and Bouha Kazmi steers the whole thing excellently.Following Ryan in a car driving through city streets at night, his passengers all look quite familiar and a clip that starts out as a joyous cruise through the urban night time takes a sinister and hallucinatory turn. An original, strange and incredibly cool video that manages to steer clear of any of the cliches and pitfalls of London grime promos and letting voice and originality shine through.

The Force is strong in&nbsp;Ellie Goulding and&nbsp;Tarrus Riley as they unleash their electro-magnetic powers in&nbsp;an all-American diner, in the thoroughly entertaining&nbsp;video for Major Lazer&#39;s Powerful, directed by James Slater.This is a very well-crafted piece of musical comedy/drama, with a touch of the superhero blockbuster, as Ellie and Tarrus realise their electrified love lives have a physical manifestation - which leads them to let their new powers go their heads and&nbsp;perform an impressive feat of telekinesis on the freaked-out diner waitress. But who hasn&#39;t ever wanted to do that?&nbsp;&nbsp;

French directing trio AB/CD/CD have long been visual adventurers, impeccably crafting mind-bending concepts into playful if not downright puzzling and remarkable videos. Their latest outing with Panda Bear for Mr Noah&nbsp;is no exception.The visual hook AB/CD/CD puts to use is seemingly simple on the surface; its effect, anything but. A camera elliptically prowls through disjointed scenes, following unseemly characters while blurs of colour flash up, somewhat like the blink of an eye, yet also like the Jeremy Blake references P.T. Anderson used to stitch together narrative and base emotion in Punch Drunk Love.&nbsp;Altogether, this mixture creates the disorienting sensation that you&rsquo;ve somehow just discovered a new hallucinogenic and have taken it out for a spin. In fact, the remarkable thing about this video is less about what happens in front of the lens, but how&nbsp;it happens. Somehow, AB/CD/CD have managed to make the camera a true character &ndash;&nbsp;an active participant rather than objective observer.The entire aesthetic of this video hinges on the idea of disconnecting our entrenched expectations of how a camera ought to look and feel when you show up at a location and let it roll. That&rsquo;s no easy task. It&rsquo;s not a matter of just throwing in a few visual effects; AB/CD/CD have managed something more intuitive. It&rsquo;s reminiscent of an earlier era; how Gondry and Cunningham often made you feel like they weren&rsquo;t using the same tools available to other filmmakers. Of course, their concepts&nbsp;were remarkable and unique, but the *execution* of those concepts were a part of what made them stick.So, once again, AB/CD/CD have created a subtle yet striking piece of work that makes you sit up and say, &lsquo;I don&rsquo;t know what that was, but I have&nbsp;to see more.&rsquo;

With a compelling narrative, a band performance, and the almost tangible feeling of wanting to find out more, as a girl chases after the boy who is about to leave her for good, we are in classic&nbsp;Jamie Thraves territory in his video for Twin Atlantic&#39;s Hold On.&nbsp;Featuring an excellent performance from&nbsp;Chiarina Woodall -&nbsp;in her first professional role out of drama school &ndash; Jamie keeps the suspense going right to the end. There&#39;s also a little nod to his classic video for Radiohead&#39;s Just, as the band performance and the narrative briefly intersect. And check out the art on the wall...
