Jim Pilling directs a marvellous, timeless black and white visual for Samm Henshaw’s emotive Joy.Shot across stunning locations in the Peak District on 16mm by DoP Rik Burnell, it's the fourth instalment of the series of films created by&nbsp;Pilling and Henshaw - and all shot by Burnell -&nbsp;in association with Henshaw's latest album Untidy Soul, featuring Henshaw as his alter-ego 'Sonny'.From the first episode, <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/05/20/samm-henshaw-still-broke-jim-pilling/71012" target="_blank">Still Broke</a>, Sonny's story&nbsp;has moved backwards chronologically. But for&nbsp;Joy, we join him in the present day. And he is on an&nbsp;introspective journey, as he’s driven through some stunning Derbyshire scenery, before leaving his car to&nbsp;continue his journey alone.[imgtoken data:1]<blockquote>There’s a lot of subtext there for people to interpret.</blockquote>"I&nbsp;wanted the video to feel timeless in the same way the sentiments in the track are," explains Pilling. "For me it was about creating frames full of feeling and giving them space to breathe to let the viewer spend some time in each moment."There’s a lot of subtext there for people to interpret - in what we see and what we don’t see - and I think this slow place&nbsp;lets that play out in the minds of the viewer as they watch it. Samm’s a great storyteller, and this track is a really good example of that. So it was an ideal starting point to develop the visual from.”

Brother Leo goes on a hunt for hope through a colourful maze of geometric buildings, in Leopold&#39;s video for Shine.He is reminded - by seeing his younger self -&nbsp;of a time long ago when he could hold this good stuff&nbsp;in the palms of his hands. And the sun is shining over the rolling waves as he sets out on his quest to recover his hidden treasure.There are certainly worse places to be than this gorgeous Spanish location...&nbsp;

Raja Virdi brings his trademark single take method of live performance directing to bear on Matt Corby&#39;s Miracle Love, filmed at Manchester Cathedral.Corby was performing a concert in the Cathedral that evening, which means that Virdi was also able to feature Corby&#39;s vocal accompaniment at the concert - the&nbsp;BIMM and Access Creative choirs. So this six minute one-take video builds through the course of the song to become a thoroughly moving experience.&nbsp;

Luke Bather, director and occasional contributor to Promonews, takes a satirical swipe (right) at modern ways of finding love in his video for, appropriately enough, Modern Love by Irish rock band Picture This.Set in a big country manor sometime in the 18th century, the Lady of the house has her faithful manservant show her portraits of potential suitors in a manner vaguely similar to a well-known dating app. Once she&#39;s picked three contenders and invited them over, the competition for her hand begins, with crass and naughty smartphone-era behaviour translated to the Restoration Age.&nbsp;This is the Director&#39;s Cut, and it completely delivers in terms of laughs, romantic comedy, and making a nice point about the way we are now.

Fanny Hoetzeneder&rsquo;s splendid promo for Adelphi Music Factory captures the rhythm, passion and joy at the heart of this fusion of gospel and house music through a constantly repeating&nbsp;sequence.We join a boy as he runs from his home, pounding past footballing mates through the streets and into the local Baptist church. He&#39;s running late for choir rehearsals,&nbsp;the Reverend glancing at his watch as the boy takes his seat and starts drumming.As the scenario repeats, scenes layer upon each other in an ever growing spiral of drumming, running and preaching. It&#39;s marvellous, and&nbsp;Fanny Hoetzeneder has&nbsp;created a video as upliftingly joyful as the song.&nbsp;Filmed on location in Sheffield over a weekend, the video for Javelin (Calling Out Your Name) features&nbsp;Rev. Daniel Anang and his teenage son Jeryhuda, in the roles of the Reverend and the running drummer respectively.&nbsp;Janine Dyer is the lead singer,&nbsp;and other singers and cast were drawn&nbsp;from the Cemetery Road Baptist Church, the New Testament Church, and Sheffield&rsquo;s Community Choir.&nbsp;

Nathan James Tettey's latest in his burgeoning directing career&nbsp;is a stylish and stylised piece for Headie One's 18 Hunna, in which his regular collaborator Dave guest raps.In a clean&nbsp;studio set-up, there's a judicious use of props to draw you into the story of 18 Hunna, in the vein of Sam Brown's classic Jay-Z video for On To The Next One.The petrolheads will love the beautiful E-Type Jag in this.&nbsp;But the focus is strongly upon the artists, both separately and as a charismatic pair.&nbsp;

Southampton&nbsp;punk band&nbsp;Creeper have released a first in a trilogy of videos for their track Hiding With Boys, a haunting vision directed by Jamie Carter.Our troubled protagonist is a middle-aged man, haunted by demons visible to him for mere seconds before dissapearing out of sight - but not out of mind. The unnerving sight pushes him to investigate demonic sightings in the local area of Southampton, trying to make sense of what he sees. He collects all the&nbsp;articles and snapshots hoping it might jog his memory or lead to some sort of epiphany &ndash; but for now we will have to wait and see...

Gabrielle Aplin&#39;s back with her new single Miss You, paired with this fun, crash-zooming&nbsp;visual by Stephen Agnew. It sees Gabrielle in a 70&#39;s suburban house in a variety of set ups, dressed in the fashions of the era. The video&#39;s undeniable charm comes through its exaggerated use of&nbsp;zooms and whip pans, as well as the singer&#39;s commitment to&nbsp;some seriously chic voguing.
