A fantastical beast&nbsp;is on the run in Jess Kohl's offbeat promo for Heartbreaker - and it's up to Birdy to find and take care of him.The artist is shown cleaning tables at a&nbsp;cafe&nbsp;under the watchful eye of the owner, and it isn't long until a news alert pops up on the TV screen that mentions the beast. That night, the creature visits Birdy at her house, and she takes it upon herself to protect him, right until a twist at the end.&nbsp;The anachronistic aesthetic - which blends 90s public access TV clips and 70s art direction - gives the video an unearthly vibe, which is elevated by brilliant creature effects and an intriguing&nbsp;narrative that doesn't end quite the way you expect it to.&nbsp;

Stanley Brock directs an engrossing promo for Potter Payper.&nbsp;Tracking from left to right through a series of contained domestic sets, the video sees Payper and a cast of characters in their natural environments, interweaving narrative vignettes with intense&nbsp;performance shots.&nbsp;It's a powerful concept, influenced by society at large and the artist's journey to date, and the careful attention paid to design and executing the concept elevates the visual to one of his best yet.&nbsp;Another excellent addition to&nbsp;Potter Payper's impressive videography, and another demonstration of the skills of&nbsp;director Stanley Brock.&nbsp;

Abbie Stephens sends up the process of making a music video, in her charming video for Katy J Pearson.On one level, Katy is making a Lumiere-inspired music video for Talk Over Town, performing in a number of imaginative studio set-ups, complete with wacky styling and colourful art direction. But then we also see behind the curtain of the making of this&nbsp;film,&nbsp;as she good-naturedly deals with the crew and the demands of the director - played by&nbsp;Charlie Hansen.[imgtoken data:1]Unlike Katy and her fictional director, the collaboration with Abbie Stephens has been rather more successful. Stephens has created&nbsp;a visual feast - somewhat playful and tongue-in-cheek - and blended that with&nbsp;whimsical humour. And then it&nbsp;develops further with a twist of pure surrealism.Having flourished in the commercial world in recent years, its a very welcome return to music videos for Abbie Stephens, and she has presented out a new aspect&nbsp;to Pearson's on-screen personality that will appeal to her devoted legion of fans.

Saorla Houston directs a poignant performance promo for Camden Cox.&nbsp;The video for Over opens with dark, contemplative&nbsp;cinematography, as the camera follows a pensive Camden on a journey through her house. She is searching&nbsp;for space to be alone, but she keeps coming into contact with her boyfriend.When she eventually finds a space to herself, we enter a lighter fantasy world with ethereal lighting and more elaborate art direction and styling. Camden's performance changes in these scenes -&nbsp;she is able to express herself freely, revealed through a high-energy performance direct to camera.Transcending the darkness of her present situation to a brighter, optimistic future, we see the artist transition in real time, taking the first step on a journey to realign her life. It's a beautiful message reflected in a fresh, unique way.&nbsp;"This song is about Camden's relationship breaking down in lockdown with someone she was living with at the time," says Houston. "For the video I wanted to capture the darkness and feeling of claustrophobia in still sharing physical space with someone you shouldn't be with."

Marion Bergin creates a showcase for London singer songwriter Genevieve's debut single Dreams, combining the singer's sensuality with the grittiness of the city.Premiering this week on Wonerland Magazine, Dreams is the ambitious debut single from London born and based singer/songwriter Genevieve. With a synth-folk sound the song is imbued with nimble crescendoing vocals and rich complexity.In “Dreams’ Genevieve&nbsp;sheds light on a challenging relationship trying to find balance. Penned in the heart of the city overlooking London, the video was shot on location at The Barbican - mostly on the 42nd floor -&nbsp;interplaying&nbsp;feminine textures of skin and chiffon and bold architectural lines. The contrasting visual serves to communicate the polarity of dream states and reality.This video comes hot of the back of Marion Bergin's short films And The People,&nbsp;premiering on Dazed in May and Saorise, a doc on Dublin's inner city horse culture, premiering on Nowness start of October.

Gemma Yin's command of graphics, animation and mixed media has been a much-valued talent for a while now, and in her new project&nbsp;for New Rules she fuses those graphic skills with performance footage of the Irish boyband.&nbsp;The result is an&nbsp;excellent, and surprisingly moving video for their song Pasta.As the lyrical content touches&nbsp;upon the issues of mental health and self-image, within the confines of a love song, the video uses plenty of split-screen to cover the gamut of performance, narrative and a telling use of social media graphics.The strength of the piece is the constant fluidity of those split screen images. It's not dissimilar to the style of a classic movie or TV title sequences of a certain period, but it works beautifully&nbsp;here.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Nicolee Tsin&#39;s video for Felsmann+Tiley follows an elderly man&#39;s dreams and memories, as he learns to transcend his past.&nbsp;Repetitive&nbsp;imagery that&#39;s simultaneously raw and surreal captures&nbsp;the mood of this gently nostalgic and wistful piece.
