Thom Kerr directs a dazzling performance promo for singer, songwriter and dancer Alice Chater.&nbsp;The video for Bed Of Lies is the second release in Chater's recent comeback campaign, and features the artist as a nightclub dancer looking to transcend her current situation and leave behind all the drama - including a very grubby boss.Infused with Michael Jackson-esque choreography and diamond-encrusted outfits, its a stunning visual, and Alice Chater thrives amidst the mix of performance and dance.&nbsp;It's a bold and playful vision from director Thom Kerr, which complements the nostalgic track, and a great showcase of Alice's on-screen charisma.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

italian directing duo LateMilk deliver a captivating video&nbsp;for AJ Tracey and&nbsp;Jorja Smith's collaboration on the song Crush.Newly signed to Ocurens, the directors reunite&nbsp;Tracey followng <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKZYqvKV4T0" target="_blank">their recent video for Heaterz</a>, marking a long-awaited&nbsp;return collab between the grime star and Jorja Smith,&nbsp;the video unfolds a compelling story through a dynamic split-screen format, showcasing two parallel lives.[imgtoken data:1]The track is 'rhythm and grime' - where the duo play heartsick lovers over a sample of Wretch 32’s 2006 tune&nbsp;Used To Be, itself&nbsp;featuring a Brandy sample from Love Wouldn’t Count Me Out - dripping with '00s nostalgia. LateMilk's video works within the recognisable idiom of British grime videos while also elevating the mood with R&amp;B touches.LateMilk create a visually striking world, balancing&nbsp;atmospheric lighting with a&nbsp;narrative thread, that feels polished and also intimate.&nbsp;The dynamic use of color, shifting from warm, intimate tones to cold, stark hues as the characters’ paths converge, highlights their ability to elevate simple moments into a transformative experience.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]The directors work the chemistry between the artists, and their independent star quality - as they are mainly on screen separately, or brought together by the use of split screens. Jorja Smith has always&nbsp;had a great relationship with the camera, and&nbsp;she looks particularly at ease here. It's up there with her best on-screen performances. While AJ Tracey radiates charisma largely by playing it cool.&nbsp;It is a pleasure to watch&nbsp;from start to finish, as we wonder if this well-matched pair will get it together.&nbsp;By the end, when they meet in the café, you are really rooting for these guys.

Gabriel Dugué directs an otherworldly music video for Audrey Nuna, the second of the American R&amp;B singer and rapper's&nbsp;partnership with French production company&nbsp;Ocurens, following last year's UKMVA-winning video for Locket.&nbsp;Like its predecessor, the&nbsp;video for Jokes On Me encapsulates a masterful use of VFX, this time&nbsp;to transport the viewer into outer space- in fact, blurring the lines between inner and outer space&nbsp;- to capture the ethereal nature of Audrey's songwriting and voice. WIth both profile and close-up shots of Audrey, Gabriel Dugué transports us into a world that is Audrey's alone, emphasised further as she floats through a dark landscape in her own bubble.&nbsp;As the energy of the song picks up, we land on the moon with Audrey, where slow-shutter shots see her running across a vast landscape. The storm passes and the sun rises, and she walks across a boundless and peaceful desert.&nbsp;The film rolls out with a final contrast between the peace of Audrey’s closing destination and the other-worldly avatar that pulsates throughout the video. And then, a final tribute to the late Valentin Petit, the director for Audrey’s first Ocurens music video, closes a beautiful and innovative film.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]

The sensational promo for Audrey Nuna's Locket, in which the US rapper/singer takes centre-stage in a gripping art gallery concept, was&nbsp;Valentin Petit's final project before his tragic death earlier this year. Posthumously released,&nbsp;its now it has&nbsp;been recognised at this year's UK Music Video Awards with four nominations.&nbsp;The video takes place in a stark white gallery space at a private view, where Audrey is the statuesque figure observing the mini-vignettes&nbsp;unfolding around her, featuring a variety&nbsp;of larger than life characters&nbsp;with one thing in common - they are all too self-absorbed to pay attention to the art in the gallery.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]With brilliant camerawork, great casting and&nbsp;unbounded dynamism to go with the high concept playfulness, Locket&nbsp;exemplifies&nbsp;the character of its creator - who is properly acknowledged at the very end of the video. It's breathless and brilliant, as it takes you on a terrific journey.A&nbsp;tour de force&nbsp;of creative magic, it cements the legacy of Valentin Petit as one of the industry's&nbsp;most accomplished voices.&nbsp;
