Hector Aponysus directs an evocative promo for Petite Noir, featuring Sampa the Great.&nbsp;The video for Blurry sees the artist - real name&nbsp;Yannick Ilunga - perform in an industrial setting, whilst a series of experimental vignettes play out on-screen.&nbsp;Shot in 16mm black and white, and inspired by the spirit of 70's performance artists such as Carolee Schneemann, Marina Abromović and the work of William Kentridge, the film attempts to capture a sense of Petite Noir's interior and exterior experiences of the world, contemplating the meaning of shadow projection and evoking visions of claustrophobic unease.Beautifully abstract with a refreshingly inventive aesthetic, it's a brilliantly creative collaboration between the artist and director - who won the Best Live Video prize at the UKMVAs last October.&nbsp;

Roger Guàrdia directs a darkly romantic&nbsp;promo for bachata artist Romeo Santos&nbsp;and&nbsp;Rosalía's collaboration with&nbsp;El Pañuelo.&nbsp;Across a series of interconnected vignettes, we see the artists perform individually - and briefly together - intercut with the dramatic interplay of two dancers, who are simultaneously part&nbsp;of and an exception to the world on-screen.&nbsp;Imbued with a contemporary gothic style, the video is washed in a vibrant red and black colour palette, and boasts slick set design, breathtaking fashion and a truly captivating aesthetic.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Guàrdia connects the distinctive vignettes through colour choices, cinematography and an abyss-like backdrop, which is seemingly endless and full of haunting beauty in every direction.He was inspired by a line in the lyrics of the song,&nbsp;El amor ciego te quita poder, which means 'blind love takes away your power.' Guàrdia notes that “it came to my mind the vampiric side of passionate love. It can be really intense, illogical, emotional, until it sucks all your energy away.”

The human race's symbiotic relationship with nature is explored in AG Rojas' video for Naeem.&nbsp;Exploring the potential of intergenerational healing, the complex and mysterious video - Bon Iver's first live action visual in seven years- focuses on two sets of family members who each encounter a floating rock in the middle of a road. A Father sets his dying adult son in front of this rock, and a Mother encourages it to open up the next day to provide water to cleanse her baby son.&nbsp;Intentionally ambiguous, Naeem is full of symbolism with reference to religion, femininity and intergenerational trauma, and each viewer's perception of the events will no doubt be informed by their life experience. Touching upon powerful and important ideas, the video meditates on the state of our planet and people, and the cycle of life and death that every living being encounters throughout our shared journeys. The word Naeem can be translated as "happiness" or "comfort", suggesting a return to a peaceful existence, the status quo of our earliest ancestors.&nbsp;The power of change and potential for peace is the message we are encouraged to take away from this project, and the importance of questioning life at every corner to ensure we are acting in a way that is mutually beneficial to both the universe and to ourselves.&nbsp;

Jake Schreier enters a watery world in Francis and the Lights&rsquo; video&nbsp;for Never Back, in which&nbsp;frontman Francis Farewell Starlite&nbsp;performs a meditative ritualistic practice in a swimming&nbsp;pool, juxtaposed with the lounge chairs and hammock of the poolside nearby.As the video opens, Francis stands on his tiptoes in the brilliant water of a Los Angeles pool with only his nose breaking the surface, then descends to stand on the bottom of the pool. Francis&rsquo; geometric shape is emphasized with a visual of his mirrored body standing and legs rising the opposite way, towards the sky. The camera pans out at various points to a tranquil scene where Francis lies in a hammock while his underwater self experiments with movement, attempting to conquer his glittering blue environment.Shot at The Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, the video - the latest by former Francis and the Lights bandmember Schreier, who last year won a UKMVAs for his Haim video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2017/06/23/haim-want-you-back-jake-schreier/48381" target="_blank">Want You Back</a>&nbsp;&ndash; is a visualisation of the&nbsp;song lyrics that reference whales who live in the water but still breath air, concluding with the refrain, &ldquo;We can never go back, tho. We can never go back in time.&rdquo;

In a poignant and powerful video for Sam Fender&#39;s track Dead Boys, director Vincent Haycock depicts&nbsp;a&nbsp;portrait of young men, each experiencing their own troubles and despair, each&nbsp;facing&nbsp;sinister, suicidal scenarios.The combination of character,&nbsp;sometimes ferocious&nbsp;action and still life compositions&nbsp;produces a highly atmospheric and haunting visual, with Haycock&#39;s eye complimented by Rina Yang&#39;s camerawork.&nbsp;A brilliantly executed video that aims to raise awareness for the taboo subject of a very important subject.&nbsp;

Kamasi Washington has created an instant jazz classic with Street Fighter Mas. Now AG Rojas has made a brilliant video for it, that puts Kamasi&#39;s warm yet rather&nbsp;enigmatic personality at its heart - together with his obsession with the king of vintage arcade games.Kamasi gets fine support from BattleCat too as his more excitable foil&nbsp;in a story of stately simplicity, beautifully composed shots and a general mood of gentle surrealism that works perfectly with the vibe of the song.If you don&#39;t have a smile on your face after a minute, check your pulse.&nbsp;

AG Rojas has created a beautifully-shot meditation on the effect of ethereal beauty in his second video for Florence + The Machine - an emotion that we tend to call Love.As counterpoint to a lovely performance by Florence, this is a story&nbsp;of a glorious work of art: an ancient&nbsp;statue, and its journey from he point of rediscovery in the last century. It&#39;s&nbsp;gazed upon and adored, sometimes loved, but sometimes unseen &ndash; and eventually it&#39;s transformed.&quot;This song is about the ways we look for love in things that are perhaps not love, and how attempts to feel less alone can sometimes isolate us more,&quot; says Florence about Hunger.&nbsp;&quot;I guess I made myself more vulnerable in this song to encourage connection, because perhaps a lot more of us feel this way than we are able to admit. Sometimes when you can&#39;t say it, you can sing it.&quot;While she sings it, AG Rojas has expressed it in this gorgeous video.

Vincent Haycock returns to music videos with an epic display of extraordinary visuals for Kelsey Lu.Shot on Vancouver Island, it starts strangely and slowly, with Lu shovelling dirt in a steaming mud swamp, wearing an increasingly spoiled white dress. But this draws you in to a haunting showcase of songs from the singer and classically trained cellist, delivered in a series of spectacular settings, as she wears a mind-boggling array of couture.Beautifully shot by Haycock&#39;s regular collaborator Evan Prosofsky and styled by Mindy Le Brock, this is a masterful way to invite the viewer to escape into Kelsey Lu&#39;s world and discover her music.

AG Rojas heralds the return of Florence + The Machine with an intense and intimate&nbsp;study of an unusually contained Florence Welch, like an old-time photographic shoot, for Sky Full Of Song.Rojas pairs Florence with props upon a hardwood floor, building metaphorical links to the song&#39;s lyrics. It&#39;s beautifully captured by the camera of Evan Prosofsky in a luminous black and white.

One-take videos are no longer a rarity, that&#39;s for sure. And that&#39;s probably why&nbsp;the element of jeopardy that was associated with them, that sense&nbsp;of something momentous happening in real time, is not a given any more. But Jake Schreier&#39;s video for Haim&#39;s Want You Back aspires to be a modern-day&nbsp;Unfinished Sympathy.&nbsp;We&#39;re on Ventura Boulevard&nbsp;at dawn, and as Este Haim starts walking, then joined by sisters Danielle and Alana, it&#39;s uncannily deserted. And as the girls walk and occasionally sing, they are throwing dance moves that exactly reflect different parts in the song.The way its made, in one continuous steadicam move, means&nbsp;it&nbsp;is&nbsp;clearly, imperfectly authentic.&nbsp;That in itself makes Want You Back compelling, and overall, it&#39;s the Haim event we&#39;ve been waiting for. As they reveal, it took a while to get it right.&bull;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/video/3023789/haim-want-you-back-video-original-concept/" target="_blank">MTV</a>: Haim reveal how a car accident inspired their &#39;Want You Back&#39; video&nbsp;<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">big thanks to <a href="https://twitter.com/jakeschreier">@jakeschreier</a> for directing this one take magic on ventura blvd. we went with take 14 btw <a href="https://t.co/EZt4Iwo1SF">https://t.co/EZt4Iwo1SF</a> <a href="https://t.co/OMCMsE0V5a">pic.twitter.com/OMCMsE0V5a</a>&mdash; HAIM (@HAIMtheband) <a href="https://twitter.com/HAIMtheband/status/877943658166747136">June 22, 2017</a></blockquote><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">&nbsp;</blockquote><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Jake Schreier&#39;s marvellous video for Chance The Rapper&#39;s Same Drugs&nbsp;features the rapper at the piano, with the same accompaniment as at his homecoming Magnificent Coloring Day concert last September in Chicago - a big-eyed puppet, who breaks out into&nbsp;Eryn Allen Kane vocals in the song.It&#39;s Muppet-tastic, of course, and not just because of the performance, complete with old style TV look. When the &#39;TV show&#39; element ends, Chance strolls out of a TV studio populated by puppet-crew, as the song plays out - and it&#39;s as poignant as it is&nbsp;funny.

Carrying on their seemingly untouchable video reputation, and clearly not deterred by the&nbsp;recent parody by AJJ, OK Go are back, to step up their video game with more feats of shock, awe, meticulous planning and downright visual bliss. It begs the question will they ever run out of ideas?Hopefully not, as this video is truly a treat to watch. Using high-speed cameras, digital rigs and triggers and a whole heap of maths, the bulk of the video unfolds over a period of time that took just 4.2 seconds to shoot (well, more or less). But a hell of a lot happens in that time. Paint flies everywhere, flipbook animations lip sync to the track, some guitars explode, people fly through the air...All in a day&#39;s work for OK Go. Or several months work, as it almost certainly was. And a&nbsp;full breakdown of the mind-bending clip as written by director/singer Damian Kulash, Jr. can be found&nbsp;here&nbsp;(including a helpful spreadsheet breakdown of all the timings, for you stats enthusiasts).

Florence has come out the other side of the wreckage. For the&nbsp;final chapter of The Odyssey, the film project created to&nbsp;accompany her album How Big How Blue How Beautiful&nbsp;- and also <a href="http://florenceandthemachine.net/" target="_blank">now available to view in full</a>&nbsp;- Florence and Vincent Haycock have&nbsp;come up with a forward-looking&nbsp;finale.The chapter to accompany Third Eye&nbsp;begins&nbsp;on an image of Florence being carried away from fiery rubble, and this revisits many of the themes from the previous chapters one last&nbsp;time. But Florence is now untethered to the demons that had followed her up till now.&nbsp;The video is just a great closing statement -&nbsp;life-affirming and filled with cheer. It&nbsp;takes place at&nbsp;nighttime&nbsp;on the street&nbsp;in front of a dazzling&nbsp;concert hall,&nbsp;where we follow Florence down&nbsp;into the depths of the&nbsp;basement.&nbsp;There,&nbsp;she&nbsp;gets swarmed by dancers&nbsp;once again, in a scene that&nbsp;is highly reminiscent of What Kind Of Man and Delilah.&nbsp;But quickly the tone quickly turns lively and reverent, and then poignant when&nbsp;Florence is led by a musician&nbsp;back onto the&nbsp;stage.

The drama depicts the&nbsp;clash of a youthful Welch&rsquo;s compassion against the violent feuding around her. The raw emotional performance of Welch is artfully set against the&nbsp;striking winter landscapes of Scotland.The Odyssey is&nbsp;set to cover all tracks in the album through this year and into&nbsp;2016, and will culminate in a long, chaptered musical film.&nbsp;

Florence + The Machine 'Queen Of Peace' and 'Long & Lost' by Vincent Haycock

Florence-+-The-Machine-'Queen-Of-Peace-And-Long-&-Lost'-by-Vincent-Haycock

Vincent Haycock has directed this understated yet quietly powerful short film for the U2 track Song For Someone, starring Woody Harrelson as a prisoner who is being released from the relative security of jail after years of incarceration,&nbsp;back into the&nbsp;outside world.With camerawork by Steve Annis, the core of the video is a single shot of&nbsp;the increasingly emotional Harrelson leaving the confines of prison, passing through the gate and meeting the person who&#39;s there to take him away - his daughter (played by the actor&#39;s real-life daughter, Zoe Harrelson), who greets him with an awkward handshake, and monosyllibic responses to his tentative comments.&nbsp;&nbsp;It&#39;s subtly played, and fully believable. Premiered on <a href="http://www.sundance.tv/series/rectify/blog/2015/07/watch-the-full-short-film-song-for-someone-featuring-music-by-u2-starring-woody-harrelson" target="_blank">Sundance TV</a>,&nbsp;Vince Haycock&#39;s film thematically links to RECTIFY, SundanceTV&rsquo;s Peabody award-winning series that follows the story of Daniel Holden and his family as they struggle to move forward after Daniel&rsquo;s release from 19 years on death row.&nbsp;
