Raja Virdi directs a signature&nbsp;one-shot video for an unexpected collaboration between Sigrid and Bring Me The Horizon's Oli Sykes&nbsp;on Bad Life.&nbsp;Bringing both a sense of scale and simplicity to what is quite an intimate idea, Virdi uses a stripped-back set as an environment for the two artists to inhabit and make their own.&nbsp;The cinematic visual is packed full of gripping moments and emotional performances, which take viewers on an engrossing journey.[imgtoken data:1]<blockquote>I tried to treat the music video as a gig&nbsp;in a way, moving up and down the stage.</blockquote>Sigrid has commented that&nbsp;her and Sykes wanted the video to be simple enough to&nbsp;emphasise the song's lyrics. "It’s a song that I hope can offer some comfort for anyone who’s having a rough day, knowing that it will pass," she explains. "We collaborated with Raja, and we ended on this dark, slightly surreal world of Oli and I on each side of a worn-down house, not knowing what the other one is going through on the other side."Oli’s such a natural performer, so I knew he’d be great anyways. I tried to treat the music video as a gig, in a way, moving up and down the stage.”Virdi says that the concept of the one-shot film was to lean into those themes, of getting through the 'bad life' to reach the other side.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]<blockquote>Life can feel like a rollercoaster sometimes. I wanted to represent that feeling...</blockquote>"Life can certainly feel like a rollercoaster sometimes," he says.&nbsp;"I wanted to represent that feeling with Sigrid and Oli performing on a theatrical, otherworldly sunken set in the middle of a vast body of water, which suddenly transforms into a stormy and thunderous surrealistic visual with the eventuality of reaching resolution."&nbsp;"Working with Sigrid and Oli was a dream," Virdi continues. "They are both extraordinarily talented performers and were absolute troopers through a long shoot day.&nbsp;The crew were fantastic and took what was a very challenging one-shot, head on. Huge props to the crane, SFX and lighting teams for working in synergy so well with all the cues and my backbone 1st AD Chris Malin making it all run smooth. Plus my incredible post team of colourist Connor Coolbear (and the entire ETC team) and the hero Jakob Thorhallsson who smashed the tricky VFX.&nbsp;"Much love to my production family in (producer) Joseph, Noir, my brilliant rep Claire and commissioner Connie for getting this all over the line."

Sigrid & Bring Me The Horizon 'Bad Life' by Raja Virdi

Sigrid, Bring Me The Horizon - Bad Life (Official Video)

Anthony Byrne&#39;s intense video for Hozier draws us into the depths of a bizarre and disfunctional relationship, that takes place at a eery Gothic dinner party.With a very creepy leading man (played by Hozier himself) having psychological control over his female dinner guest, a cycle of obsessive love, control and hysteria plays out - with a gruesome, fiery climax.It&#39;s a mesmerising psychological drama, with elements of dance, in which the tension between the pair is ratcheted up in Chris Roebuck&#39;s masterly edit.

Clean Bandit ft. Demi Lovato 'Solo' by Grace Chatto & Jack Patterson

Clean-Bandit-Ft.-Demi-Lovato-'Solo'-by-Grace-Chatto-&-Jack-Patterson

Clean Bandit&#39;s Grace Chatto and Jack Patterson&#39;s latest foray into self-direction is a story of heartbreak, intercut with a performance of the band in full orchestra mode - with guest vocalist Zara Larsson centre-stage.&nbsp;And it packs a real emotional punch.The story in itself is tragic - a man coming to terms with the loss of his partner in a cycling accident. It really touches a nerve, but then Chatto and Patterson bring it up a notch by drawing the story into the performance of Symphony.

Grace Chatto and&nbsp;Jack Patterson of&nbsp;Clean Bandit have self-directed a touching&nbsp;video for Rockabye, featuring guest vocals and appearances&nbsp;from&nbsp;Sean Paul and&nbsp;Anne Marie, telling the&nbsp;tale of a mother trying to provide for her son.It follows the story of a&nbsp;woman who&nbsp;has been left to raise her little boy alone,&nbsp;turning&nbsp;to pole-dancing as her main&nbsp;source of income, and hustling her perfectly crafted routine at an old man&#39;s pub while&nbsp;Anne Marie&#39;s lyrics&nbsp;tells her story&nbsp;the band perform the&nbsp;song. The result is quite&nbsp;melancholic yet hopeful&nbsp;tale of a mother&#39;s love for her son and her&nbsp;endurance in keeping him&nbsp;safe.&nbsp;Cutaways from&nbsp;the story to&nbsp;a performance sequence in&nbsp;stunning&nbsp;cliffside and forest locations&nbsp;ties the visual to&nbsp;the&nbsp;Clean Bandit&nbsp;aesthetic fans have come to know and love.&nbsp;

Tom Dream took Whinnie Williams to Palmdale, CA to shoot the video for Real Damn Bad - and he turned&nbsp;the English singer into a all-American sixties biker chick, in leather-one piece. And she wears it well.

Whinnie Williams 'Real Damn Bad' by Tom Dream

Whinnie-Williams-'Real-Damn-Bad'-by-Tom-Dream

Jack Patterson from Clean Bandit takes up directing duties once again with the band&#39;s returning single Tears, featuring Louisa Johnson from X Factor.&nbsp;Patterson has done an impressive job with his band&#39;s videos from the start, with a use of international locations on everything from Mozart&#39;s House to their massive hit <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-M1AtrxztU" target="_blank">Rather Be</a>. So the&nbsp;studio approach here is something of a departure, but Patterson maintains the band&#39;s&nbsp;joie de vivre, with smoke, fire and, most importantly, water. They may be indoors but they still can&#39;t avoid some typical English&nbsp;weather. &nbsp;

Charlotte Rutherford has delivered a brilliantly colourful and colourfully weird video for Vitamin&#39;s This Isn&#39;t Love. Set, fittingly, in Heartbreak Hotel, we travel from room to room and encounter all manner of dreamlike love to sleaze-like lust along the way. Embracing the song&#39;s pure pop leanings and tilting them just far enough into weird to reassure you this ain&#39;t all just kisses and cuddles.Frontman Jared Laville says the song is &ldquo;about the journey you take in a relationship from the beginning to the end, and when you come to realise that you can&rsquo;t reciprocate the love that is given to you. Realising &lsquo;this isn&rsquo;t love&rsquo; can feel like a revelation so we made the music feel celebratory and free, to reflect that feeling.&rdquo;

New director Tom Dream has delivered some tongue-in-cheek 70s glitz and&nbsp;glamour with this&nbsp;candied&nbsp;performance clip&nbsp;for&nbsp;retro-loving&nbsp;singer&nbsp;Whinnie Williams&#39;s Too Strong.It shows the self-described Daddy&#39;s Girl disarming the audience with an alluring performance&nbsp;on-stage &ndash; and&nbsp;staring&nbsp;down the barrel of the camera lens&nbsp;from a silken, emerald&nbsp;bed &ndash; while an older gent in an Elvis suit (Daddy, presumably)&nbsp;is having a much harder time of it.&nbsp;

British actor Ben Whishaw (Q in Skyfall) turns in a brilliant loose-limbed performance in&nbsp;Robert Francis Müller&#39;s excellent promo for Years &amp; Years&#39; dance throbber Real.Set in a neon-soaked club and bolstered by a large ensemble, the band&#39;s frontman Olly Alexander explains:&nbsp;&ldquo;I did a play with Ben and he&#39;s such a brilliant dancer, like an electric eel or something. The track has a big dance element and I wanted to see people dancing the way that Ben does, in a way that is almost out of control, like they&#39;ve been hypnotised or something.&rdquo;&nbsp;
