Najeeb Tarazi directs superb promo for&nbsp;Arrdee &amp; Cat Burns that merges a very smart visual technique with real emotion.The innovative concept for Home For My Heart intertwines various portrait shots - of the artists and several narrative characters - with a clever mirrored transition, which blends together a series of 360 degree rotating shots.The video also packs an emotional punch, with heartfelt, intimate performances and enough narrative vignettes&nbsp;to make the lyrics feel really relatable and universal, and hint at the themes behind the track.&nbsp;Beautiful work and a timeless visual.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Arrdee & Cat Burns 'Home For My Heart' by Najeeb Tarazi

Arrdee-&-Cat-Burns-'Home-For-My-Heart'-by-Najeeb-Tarazi

Raman Djafari combines live action and animation to brilliant effect in the extraordinary new video for the brilliant Ashnikko - creating&nbsp;a Mad Max-esque dystopian landscape to transform the pop star into a monster truck-wielding hero, fighting off robot overlords as she navigates a strange new world.In an intense bombardment of visual imagination, Djafari fuses his signature aesthetic of texturally rich CGI with the unhinged, transgressive ambitions of Ashnikko, to create a wonderful, weird, high-octane action movie.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]The influences on the video range from painters Bruegel and&nbsp;Carravagio, to Bjork, to&nbsp;90s animes like Neon Genesis Evangelion - but you really have to watch on repeat to catch everything that is going on.Djafari worked closely with Ashnikko and her creative director Vassu Vu in conceptualising the video for Worms - which takes the distinctive style of his&nbsp;previous work -&nbsp;such as his massively successful video for Elton John and Dua Lipa's Cold Heart - into a whole new dimension.[imgtoken data:2]"I wanted to create a vast world that stretches way beyond the bounds of this one music video, like there's an abundance of stories waiting to be told," says Djafari.&nbsp;"I indulged my love for creature design and developed dozens of individual characters, monsters, robots and a huge monster truck. It was important to me to bring the world around this album to life, with a richness that reflects the depth of the music and lyrics.[imgtoken data:3]"Working with Ash and Vasso was a truly precious collaboration between artists - they supported and trusted my personal interpretation of the universe they created together. Looking back, I wish I could have spent more time in this world. I feel like this video barely scratches the surface of what I would love to create together with Ashnikko."Fingers crossed we'll get another chance to collaborate in the future.” &nbsp;

Nia Archives takes a contemplative walk through late-night London, in the video for So Tell Me...Co-directed by Dan Emmerson and the artist herself, the video intercuts the gentle performance section with a series of slow-shutter vignettes, depicting the complex relationship between a young couple.&nbsp;Showing their lives in separate (yet interconnected) scenes, the video hints at the bond between them, which is confirmed at the end of the video when they detach from their different groups of friends to finally meet up.The bittersweet, romantic&nbsp;concept is beautifully executed, with the frantic cinematography reflecting the contrast of the track - a jungle beat set against melancholic melodies.&nbsp;Wonderful work.&nbsp;

Thomas Davis directs a love letter to early computer animation, in his visualiser for Biig Piig.&nbsp;The video opens with the artist putting on a VR headset, and being pulled into a playful, candy-coloured world inhabited by skeletons, teddy bears and uncanny doppelgangers.&nbsp;The vibrant, intentionally rudimentary animation calls back to early Noughties music vids - anyone remember <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQCQnARnKbc">Sweet Like Chocolate by Shanks &amp; Bigfoot</a>? - whilst interweaving contemporary elements at the same time.&nbsp;Marvellous work.&nbsp;

Thomas Davis directs an enigmatic promo for punk rocker Joe Unknown's gAng.&nbsp;Standing in front of a mirror in a theatrical backstage area, we see a young woman grab a pair of clippers and shave her hair off, as the camera crawls in and out, exploring the space.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]In the corner of the room, we see Joe Unknown in an armchair, half-watching TV and half-watching the girl shave her head.&nbsp;It's a remarkably simple yet powerful concept, that leaves plenty to the imagination - including the context of the situation.&nbsp;

Trailblazing London jazz outfit Ezra Collective hit the ring in Femi Ladi's joyous video for Victory Dance.Customers of a cornershop receive a mysterious invitation by the shopkeeper, leading them downstairs into the basement and a magical space. Suddenly we are in&nbsp;a big hall, a boxing ring in the middle - not to witness a boxing bout, but the moves of jazz dancer Jay Allen, and a thrilling performance of the individuals of Ezra Collective, and then the group as a whole.[imgtoken data:1]This is the band's first ever music video, reflecting their position at the heart of London's resurgent jazz scene. Femi Ladi achieves a sense of wonder and real occasion by keeping things based around the performances, and top and tailing the piece with the narrative element involving the audience. It really works.&nbsp;"I’m a big fan of the Ezra Collective, I find their music so refreshing and unexpected," says Ladi.&nbsp;"I had a personal experience of hearing the band's music for the first time when I stumbled into a performance of theirs by accident a few years back. I instantly became a fan. So, we went with an Idea that had similar journey of discovery with the band playing a secret gig somewhere quite unexpected."

Rianne White is back with the final promo in a three-part series for Winnie Raeder.&nbsp;The video seamlessly transitions from the final frame of <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/04/28/winnie-raeder-promised-love-rianne-white/76090" target="_blank">Promised Love - Part Two of the trilogy</a> -&nbsp;and shows the camera stalking towards the artist as she performs, before spinning to reveal&nbsp;a large studio space, with theatrical art direction elements and the smashed pottery from the previous chapter of the concept.&nbsp;"It was so freeing to be fully immersed in this world we created on set," says White.&nbsp;"The entire process with Winnie across this project has been fuelled by such honest and personal observations of inner worlds. Finding the nerve in it all, entangled in our own physical and emotional bodies."This third and final part brings us full circle. Let’s feel it!!"&nbsp;

Thomas Davis storms back into action with this joyously energetic video for the charismatic Willow Kayne.Filmed at Rough Trade East and surrounding Brick Lane area in East London, Willow requests 'Jungle' from the resident DJ - and then he cues up her new song Final Notice.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;It's music biz-critiquing message, against making her a clone of other pop stars, plays second fiddle to the altogether happy vibes of Willow and fellow cast in Davis's video - nicely shot in classic fashion by&nbsp;Jake Erland.All well and good, as this could be a DnB/Pop crossover banger of the coming summer. It's really quite boombastic...

Ama Lou self-directs the&nbsp;promo for Same Old Ways, where contrary to the title of the song, tradition gets a welcome makeover.&nbsp;In the video - made in collaboration with The North Face -&nbsp;we follow the induction of two inner city kids (Ama&nbsp;and her friend) on their first day of boarding school. At the start, the viewer is set up to anticipate the worst for the pupils as they enter a daunting environment. But instead, they are welcomed with open arms, having a great time taking&nbsp;part in some classic old English boarding school activities.&nbsp;Excitable and celebratory,&nbsp;the video - shot by Ama's sister Mahalia John - is full of feelgood vibes, and the breathtaking setting is an excellent location for the camaraderie to ensue.&nbsp;
