Young Fathers 'Rice' by Tom Hingston

Young-Fathers-'Rice'-by-Tom-Hingston

A mysterious figure ponders what it means to be a man in 2022, in Giles Edward-N's enigmatic promo for Shadez The Misfit.The video explores&nbsp;the artist's socio-economic upbringing and life experience, through to his role as&nbsp;guide and mentor as a new father, with a powerful and memorable style.Shot in high contrast black and white, the video uses conceptual setups to bring the themes to life, with burnt-out highlights and crushed shadows creating a gritty, otherworldly aesthetic.&nbsp;The autobiographical piece blends narrative with abstract imagery, representing the uncertainty of the journey ahead, and the newfound responsibility he has been given.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hannah Berry George explores growth and anxiety in her promo for Sody's Butterfly.&nbsp;Isolated in a darkened bedroom, Sody is shown stalking the four walls around her, desperate to break the cycle of fear and overwhelm that keep her contained in&nbsp;the space. The arrival of several butterflies spurs her into action, showing how&nbsp;caring for something or someone&nbsp;can help us walk out of the darkness and back into the light - especially profound in our current climate.&nbsp;Exploring metamorphosis and the ability to break&nbsp;free from our self-imposed limitations, the poignant video ends with Sody walking off-frame, ready to face the world and conquer the uncertainty that comes with modern life.&nbsp;The use of restrained camera movement&nbsp;and&nbsp;stuttered effects in the edit helps represent the cyclical nature of fear, beautifully elevated by&nbsp;Nathalie Pitters' understated yet intimate lighting.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Henry Scholfield is back with Dua Lipa. Following on from his monumental UKMVA-winning videos for New Rules&nbsp;and IDGAF,&nbsp;Scholfield has created another visual feast for Break My Heart - taken from her just-released second album Future Nostalgia -&nbsp;utilising clever camera trickery,&nbsp;great choreography and perfectly stylised production design to create this epic&nbsp;emotional narrative.We follow Dua on her journey as scenarios materialise and&nbsp;amplify the emotional state, illustrated here through fast-paced transitions and&nbsp;setups, mirroring the heartfelt lyrics.&nbsp;The video which was shot in Bulgaria uses a colour palette of early Almodóvar mashed up with mid 90s styling via the iridescent surreal-scapes of Japanese love hotels. Production had their work cut out with VFX, choreography, wire work, stunts - and a tilting set. The sets were built across three stages, and beautifully realised by production designer Mark Connell.Scholfield explains: “I wanted to create something that felt like that tumble dryer of emotions when falling for someone who’s pulling away from you. Dua’s perfomance was brilliant (as always!) taking us on her journey from vulnerable to empowered, via her playful cheeky-charming self.”And the video, single and the album release were all brought forward,&nbsp;despite the Coronavirus pandemic, on Dua Lipa's command. She states: “I hope it brings you some happiness, and I hope it makes you smile, and I hope it makes you dance."&nbsp;

Dua Lipa 'Break My Heart' by Henry Scholfield

Dua Lipa - Break My Heart (Official Video)

Aniel Karia&nbsp;directs this challenging short film, based on a concept by Kano, in which a promising teenager is stabbed. The London MC searches for sense and reason in this conversation with his neighbourhood.We meet the teenager (Nat) and his family in a warm, naturalistic vignette, loosely scored by the calm gospel lilt of Trouble. Karia lets us bask in this domestic calm just long enough to lull us into a sense of security. Which he interrupts with a tragic two minutes of iPhone footage, captured by friends and a bystander. On the way to buy rice for his mother, Nat gets caught in the middle of a violent conflict. The moment, over which we can hear a woman describing the event to the police, bears a troubling resemblance to real videos captured by witnesses and shared on the news.There’s a pause for the funeral. And then a raucous wake, guest starring Ghetts, at which Kano is cheerfully hounded into performing his new track Class of Deja.Karia (previously of the series Top Boy and Pure) presents the aftermath of violence with a light, even-handed touch. He and Kano address the cycle of knife crime, but avoid moralistic sensationalism: “I ain’t trying to be no preacher man” says boy’s uncle, speaking at his funeral. A pensive optimism courses through the film, but quiet details - Nat’s sister, bedroom and keyboard - remind us what is at stake. This is a powerful, timely piece of work, and a defining opus for Kano.

The second of Tom Beard&#39;s stylish pair of videos for&nbsp;Jessie Ware shot on Mallorca is the prequel to the first.And if Midnight established the setting and the brooding atmosphere, with Jessie as a mysterious woman with a past, Selfish Love provides the back story. The guy she&#39;s with has a lovely house, but is he exactly trustworthy? Jessie has her doubts, but ultimately knows how to deal with his sort.&nbsp;

Tom Beard frames&nbsp;Jessie Ware as a figure of mystery and passion in his evocative video for Midnight.The first of a series of videos directed by Beard for Jessie Ware&#39;s new album, this makes excellent use of the Belearic locations, with fine work by DoP Tim Sidell and editor Nikki Porter. And clearly Jessie enjoyed shooting it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">Thanks for all your kind words about Midnight. We had so much fun shooting this video, from 1am until the sun came up in Mallorca x <a href="https://t.co/ZyDyFcA1Eu">pic.twitter.com/ZyDyFcA1Eu</a>&mdash; Jessie Ware (@JessieWare) <a href="https://twitter.com/JessieWare/status/897478938053681152">August 15, 2017</a></blockquote><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Jessie Ware 'Midnight' by Tom Beard

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.

Clean Bandit 'Symphony' by Clean Bandit

Clean-Bandit--'Symphony'-by-Clean-Bandit

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;

Clean Bandit ft. Sean Paul & Anne Marie 'Rockabye' by Grace Chatto & Jack Patterson

Clean-Bandit-Ft-Sean-Paul-&-Anne-Marie-'Rockabye'-by-Grace-Chatto-&-Jack-Patterson

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;
