Noah Lee reunites with&nbsp;Danielle Balbuena - aka&nbsp;070 Shake - to make his second mesmerizing&nbsp;and dreamlike video&nbsp;for the New Jersey-born rapper, following their marvellous collaboration on <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2019/08/01/070-shake-nice-have-noah-lee/60087" target="_blank">Nice To Have</a>.In the video Skin &amp; Bones, Lee deconstucts the process of making the video for Skin &amp; Bones, with meta-fictional layering of 070 Shake's own part of the process, and those of the extras that populate the set.After the initial photographic studio set-up - inspired by The Master?&nbsp;-&nbsp;Shake engages in the big video set-piece, symbolically assuming weighty NFL-style shoulder-pad gear, and becoming drenched in studio rain. The extras of all shapes, sizes and ages take up their positions in different scenes as couples.[imgtoken data:1]And then Lee brilliantly defies expectations again, in unexpected ways - both heartwarming and chilling.This is his first video since signing with FRIEND in London for UK representation for music videos and commercials. The video, shot around Los Angeles is a co-production between FRIEND and HPLA.&nbsp;

A disused tube station provides the appropriately atmospheric&nbsp;backdrop for David M Helman's gripping video for Holly Humberstone's London Is Lonely.&nbsp;Sat on a perpetually rotating platform, Humberstone delivers a mesmerizing&nbsp;performance in a single continuous take.&nbsp;As she reminisces about a lost lover, and the loneliness of the big city without them, she completely transfixes the viewer with the emotion and intimacy of her delivery and relationship with the camera.&nbsp;The dramatic lighting transitions and hazy post effects add a haunting, introspective mood, which just does enough to augment the stripped-back concept, ensuring the focus never wavers from the remarkable&nbsp;performance that Helman has drawn from Humberstone in this video.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

A day from Hell just won't let up, in&nbsp;Hector Dockrill's tragic promo for Chase &amp; Status and BackRoad Gee.&nbsp;&nbsp;The video for When It Rains features actor Jack McMullen as a down-on-his-luck everyman, trying to go about his day to day life to disastrous effect.&nbsp;It all starts with an antagonistic phone call and a cigarette lit the wrong way, and builds to a high-octane climax full of suspense, blood, chase scenes&nbsp;and the opportunity for the character to finally get the nicotine hit he's gagging for.&nbsp;Brilliant work which anchors on McMullen's performance and a Dockrill's keen eye for narrative.&nbsp;

James Blake's cool LA life is disturbed by endless reminders that <a href="https://www.finneasofficial.com/" target="_blank">Finneas</a> is much more successful that he is - in Bear Damon's brilliant video for Say What You Will.“The song is about finding peace with who you are and where you’re at regardless of how well other people seem to be doing,” Blake has explained in a press release. “Comparison really is the thief of joy.”The video is really an expression of that theme, but much less earnest than Blake's statement might suggest. Bear Damon does exploit&nbsp;the sensitivity that Blake is&nbsp;renowned for, but for comic purposes. He does so in a&nbsp; series of beautifully judged sequences that serve to crush James's spirits - beginning with him holding a single&nbsp;award at the Grammys, only to be&nbsp;jolted by the sight of Finneas cradling an armful.Who knew that James Blake could act comedy? Bear Damon, presumably, and maybe Blake suspected it himself. There are various elements that make this an outstanding video - not least the (self-mocking) presence of Finneas. It would be nothing without him. But Blake's own performance of&nbsp;quietly crumbling confidence makes it wonderful. It may or may not be&nbsp;truthful, but it's certainly believable. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Jorja Smith plays a cunning car mechanic, involved in a money-making wheeze with her co-star Shaybo,&nbsp;in the gritty and atmospheric video for Bussdown&nbsp;directed Fenn O'Meally - and filmed in Jorja's hometown in Walsall.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;&nbsp;If the sight of Jorja as a West Midlands car mechanic seems unlikely at first, O'Meally makes it work by drawing on various influences and sharp cinematic techniques from Hollywood heist movies, and also closer to home. Initially, it's Jorja who uses her charm to seriously overcharge customers at the auto repair garage. Shaybo observes on the CCTV, before they indulge in their taste for jewellry, as Jorja transforms out of her oily overalls into something more glamorous.[imgtoken data:2]For&nbsp;a song which has an unhurried soulful tempo, O’Meally's command of the narrative, attention to detail&nbsp;and integration of the performances is exceptional. This is a very confident and stylish video by the director - also from the West Midlands - and&nbsp;a great platform for the performers who display their natural personalities and chemistry while inhabiting their fictional roles. The cinematography by&nbsp;Patrick Golan is perfect for providing the fusion of English kitchen sink grittiness and slick music video glamour.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:3]“Honestly, it's been a blessing working with an artist who is so driven, so hard working and so collaborative," says O'Meally. "I knew working with Jorja would be special - two Midlands girls, both who hustle their heart out, from very humble backgrounds, teaming up and showing up is always going to be special. And then Shaybo in the mix, crazyyyy talent... I am so grateful for the trust both artists gave me.”[imgtoken data:4]

Danica Arias Kleinknecht directs a breezy dance promo&nbsp;for Kito, Zhu and Jeremih.&nbsp;The video for Follow observes an eclectic handful of dancers - including Caleb Bonney and Stephen Ojo from Beyoncé's Black Is King film - as they traverse the grungier side of NYC, performing in tunnels, overpasses and anywhere that inspires them on the way.&nbsp;Beautifully shot by DoP&nbsp;Patrick Golan, the grittier aesthetic and heavy use of contrast&nbsp;is a step away from usual dance films, which often prefer soft lighting and landmark locations. The choice to flip this concept on its head is an inspired one, and makes for a brilliant visual.&nbsp;
