Michael Cumming, best&nbsp;known for his TV comedy work like Brass Eye and Toast Of London, and his commercials, makes an auspicious music video directing debut for George Ezra that pokes wholesome fun at some of the absurdities of the music industry.The video for Pretty Shining People mocks the pop machine process, with George trying to win a recording contract by performing for&nbsp;a bunch of jaded record execs - all played by kids. They then want to turn the distinctive singer-songwriter into a pop star, by making him smile and dress and dance just like everyone else.Can George win them over by being true to himself? You better believe it.Ezra certainly has a knack for this sort of&nbsp;self-effacing, gently satirical comedy. It&#39;s served him well before&nbsp;- including a recent&nbsp;turn on Reeves and Mortimer&#39;s brilliant&nbsp;Big Night Out - and it does so again here.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Legendary music video director Vaughan Arnell brings his absolute A-game to this collaboration between Sam Smith and future R&amp;B pop queen Normani. It&#39;s a very classy, beautifully-crafted belter of a video.Reflecting the sultry melancholy and brooding sexuality of the song Dancing With A Stranger, solitary Sam Smith is joined in his super modern house in the wintry countryside by ghosts - or holograms who come alive within and around him. It&#39;s a very Arnell-esque way to introduce the dancers that haunt Smith, evoking the classic Fastlove video for George Michael he directed with Anthea Benton in the mid-90s.And then comes the explosively sexy Normani, whose combination of vocals and dance add a new dimension to the song and the video. You can&#39;t take your eyes off her. And although they never meet - appropriately considering the song - the production makes the two performers dovetail together perfectly. There&#39;s great work here by a whole team of people - including DoP Will Bex and Arnell&#39;s regular editor David Webb. A real treat.&nbsp;

Evergreen Rick Astley returns with a stripped-back performance video directed by Vaughan Arnell - but it&#39;s not quite just the man and his mic.Arnell adds a supporting cast of Rick-alikes to add brilliant variety to the delivery of Beautiful Life. In fact, these fellow performers come in all different shapes, sizes, ages, sexes and colours - wonderfully cast by the director.&nbsp;But they all add to Astley&#39;s own&nbsp;energy and pizzazz,&nbsp;pushing&nbsp;the feelgood factor off the scale.A definite mood enhancer to suit the seize-the-day sentiments of the song.&nbsp;

rubberband&#39;s video for Toulouse&#39;s Found is about a man who dies, and then comes back from the dead. Or does he?&nbsp;It&#39;s a work that definitely enters another dimension. As our car crash victim returns home to his love, the real work&nbsp;becomes a 3D &#39;volumetric&#39;&nbsp;one, somewhere between wireframe and laser-generated (like Radiohead&#39;s House Of Cards), that was created with the help of start-up tech outfit Depthkit. ConsConsequently, Jason Filmore Sondock and Simon Davis (aka&nbsp;rubberband) were able to present&nbsp;explicit human intimacy in a completely new way...&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Now they reunite&nbsp;to present another wonderfully uplifting mess of kinetic song-and-dance for Heart Attack, from the forthcoming album I Can Feel You Creep Into My Private Life.Cave&#39;s colour coordinated dancers are arranged in different locations, then&nbsp;suffer simulataneous faux-coronaries when they remove paper bags from their heads,&nbsp;while Garbus cuts a theatrically agonised figure under a heavy spotlight.&nbsp;They all eventually gather together for a final throw of life&#39;s dice, while Garbus does the best &quot;heart attack-ack-ack-ack-ack&quot; since <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6J1jgQs1Cg" target="_blank">Billy Joel&#39;s Moving Out</a>.No one really does the overly dramatic quite like her, certainly not in what is generally termed &#39;alternative music&#39;.&nbsp;

Lush cinematography and inventive choreography intersect in this dreamlike video for Sleigh Bells&#39; And Saints - directed by Mimi Cave and Sleigh Bell&#39;s Derek Miller.&nbsp;With Sleigh Bells transformed - instead of a duo, it&#39;s&nbsp;singer Alexis Krauss with a metal-thrash&nbsp;backing band - a squad of cheerleaders march in to face-off the band, and dance. And they proceed to undergo a transformation themselves into something&nbsp;far more macabre.

Earlier this year, Will Oldham released a new song, Treasure Map,&nbsp;underneath his Bonnie &ldquo;Prince&rdquo; Billy moniker. At the time, it was included on a Southern Poverty Law Center benefit compilation, and it&rsquo;s now been repurposed as part of the soundtrack for Moxie Pictures&#39; feature film The Lure.The film is a documentary about the decades-long search for a legendary treasure buried by eccentric art-dealer Forrest Fenn in the Rocky Mountains. The song gets a new clip directed by Tomas Leach that follows one searcher on her quest to find that buried treasure. The further she goes on her journey, the more&nbsp;reflective and troubled she gets.

The original music video couple, Vaughan Arnell and Robbie Williams, are back for an incredible 16th collaboration.The Heavy Entertainment Show video sees Robbie play all the major roles in a boxing match. Ring announcer&nbsp;Robbie calls the match as two prize fighters (Robbie Vs Robbie) beat the living hell from one another in a battle of golden spit and glamorous ringside entourage complete with make-up that certainly feels like a throwback to Robbie &amp; Vaughan&#39;s Let Me Entertain You video from 1998.

One look at his Twitter feed will tell you&nbsp;that despite your feelings for James Blunt, the man is incredibly self-aware. And self-deprecating to a tee. A recent Blunt line went: &quot;&quot;You thought 2016 was bad? I&#39;m releasing a new album in 2017.&quot;With that as a driving force, Vaughan Arnell reunites with Blunt to provide the ideal vehicle for the album&#39;s first single Love Me Better, blending hyper-colourful pop slickness and tongue-in-cheek humour in the kind&nbsp;a location the singer knows only too well - a neon-drenched nightclub.And tonight, Blunt happens to be the least popular patron in the club - but coming to terms&nbsp;with his fate. Imagine if Nicolas Winding-Refn&#39;s&nbsp;Only God Forgives&nbsp;was actually about a 42-year-old man who can&#39;t keep up with nightclub culture despite his best intentions and you&#39;re most of the way there.
