Rianne White has directed and choreographed the beautiful and considered music video for Ellie Goulding&rsquo;s new song Flux.&nbsp;Shot in black and white, the promo focuses on abstract movement and lighting, as Rianne White mirrors the song&rsquo;s minimalist production by capturing&nbsp;the simple nuances of Goulding&rsquo;s performance.She&rsquo;s seen alone in a cavernous room as she elegantly moves to the melodies, plays piano and later cathartically sings as rain comes down.

Years &amp; Years return with a dystopian adventure directed by the band&#39;s regular collaborator Fred Rowson, featuring frontman Olly Alexander as the last human in a future world populated by androids.In this the first part of a sequential series of videos from tracks from the new Years &amp; Years, Olly is captured and presented as entertainment for a panel of judges in the Eastern city of Palo Santo (the video was shot in Thailand).&nbsp;In a way the video is the reverse of Justin Timberlake&#39;s Dirty video - a human dances for an android audience, rather than the other way around. But like Dirty, the&nbsp;track Sanctify has that huge Michael Jackson influence.

Sing J Lee takes us on a journey to Hong Kong in his latest promo, which features men-of-the-moment Migos in some very eye-catching suits. The hip hop trio ooze style as they play poker with Pharrell in their very own Chinese restaurant, and show off their kung fu skills when they have a face off with their rivals.Taking inspiration from his childhood and putting a modern twist on old kung fu movies, Sing has created a promo with a narrative that is both fresh and unique. And of course, no kung fu movie would be complete without a thrilling action sequence...Speaking about the music video after its release, Sing said: &quot;A diet of three years work experience in my parent&#39;s Chinese takeaway and censored Bruce Lee movies finally paid off.&quot;

Charli XCX was inspired by her own experiences with ALMA, the girl with the lime-green hair, for the Finnish singer&#39;s video of party-regret song Phases.Charli co-wrote the song and after co-directing her own video for Boys with great success (it has two MVA nominations), she takes full directing reins on this one and demonstrates a sure instinct for pop video directing in the classic style.&ldquo;ALMA is a total rockstar,&quot; Charli told FADER.&nbsp;&quot;Whenever I&#39;ve partied with her it&#39;s been the hardest, most crazy, partying. Whether it&#39;s kicking the DJ off, taking over and crowd surfing a tiny bar in Finland or crashing some fancy LA birthday party and forcing everyone into the Macarena &mdash; it&#39;s always a totally wild time!&quot;It just made sense to turn the Phases&nbsp;video into an ALMA-style house party with her, her sister, and some of her best friends, and shoot it all. So that&#39;s basically what we did.&rdquo;

Fred Rowson&#39;s video for Bree Runway is an all-too-believeable story of exploitation&nbsp;of young female talent in the pop industry, with a righteous side-order of revenge.Bree becomes the subject of a photo session with a top photographer, who uses his position to assert increasing levels of control, which ratchets into sexual abuse. But he has messed with the wrong girl.Fred Rowson does a very good job here in creating a dramatic situation that deals with a serious issue&nbsp;&ndash;&nbsp;and showing just how feasible this is &ndash; while retaining conventions of the pop video, including performance.&nbsp;&quot;Ever since Bree and I shared a mutual love of Kanye West on the dance floor, I knew I wanted to make a music video for her,&quot; he says. &quot;We dedicated this to perverts everywhere; your days are numbered.&quot;

Sing J. Lee is in the middle of a hot streak right now, with this stylish video for Raye following on the heels of his work for Kasabian and Halsey.The hyper-real, accelerated and vibrant clip follows two different versions of Raye as they embark on two very different nights out. With split-screen being used to full effect, on top of a heap of head-spinning cuts, the video feels stylized, dizzying and euphoric with both versions of Raye and her friends celebrating with a raucous, messy energy that comes from a night of unexpected twists and turns.A combination of great animation and graphic design flourishes really helps Sing to put his own personal stamp on this clip.

Craig Moore gets a little Mad Max in this slick dance clip for Shy FX.Despite the song's title, a lot of care has gone into this video . With excellent choreography matched by some energetic camerawork and a solidly paced edit, this dance clip has a meticulously crafted aesthetic. Combining Afro-dance and breakdance with some highly fashionable post-apocalyptic vibes makes for some striking imagery throughout.

After a quiet spell Sing J Lee steps up to the mark again in&nbsp;music videos with a real statement for Halsey. And&nbsp;it&#39;s&nbsp;just for starters.The video for Now Or Never is a blockbuster - a big, cinematic fantasy&nbsp;action thriller with blue-haired Halsey falling&nbsp;for a rival gang member during a turf war of heavily armed kids&nbsp;in a dangerous near-future LA.&nbsp;Everything leads inexorably to a gripping and very violent climax, and it&#39;s expertly&nbsp;helmed by Lee, in his first big&nbsp;Stateside music video. And this happens to be&nbsp;just the first half of the story. As Halsey escapes to cut her blue locks and recover from the trauma, we suspect there will be&nbsp;further twists in the tale.It&#39;s beautifully shot by&nbsp;Kristof&nbsp;Brandl, and as well as the two for Halsey, Sing J Lee has also worked with the DoP in a video shot in Shanghai for Tchami that comes out shortly. With another video for Raye in pre-production, Lee is well and truly back - all guns blazing.

Fred Rowson takes us on a journey through the centre of the spirit in this bizarre and hilarious video for Hot Chip&#39;s Joe Goddard.Following the burgeoning UFO-hunting spiritualist cult of &#39;Colour Spectrum&#39; and some of their meetings and religious materials is an experience unto itself. Mixing VHS footage from the cult-founder in with modern day practices (bizarre rituals, outfits and custom a-plenty) are taken to the general public, who are completely baffled. A very comical look at how deeply unsuccessful a British equivalent of Heaven&#39;s Gate would be.

Sing J Lee delivers a stylish,&nbsp;science fiction-influenced&nbsp;adaptation of Shakespeare, to mark the 400th anniversary of the Bard&#39;s death,&nbsp;in this collaboration with singer-songwriter, performance artist and model&nbsp;Viktoria Modesta.With washes of pink and blue neon, and a serious amount of jaw-dropping wardrobe&nbsp;this turns from adaptation of A Midsummer Night&#39;s Dream exploring the lust for self-edit and presentation (with Viktoria as Titania), into a full-up pop video&nbsp;and choreographed to perfection.&nbsp;The VFX here are a brilliant development on the aesthetic that Sing first started to play with in his video for Muse earlier this year - a refined and cool sci-fi look is rare alchemy but executed explosively here with an artist who previously&nbsp;starred in the <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2014/12/16/viktoria-modesta-%E2%80%98prototype%E2%80%99-saam-farahmand" target="_blank">groundbreaking video project Prototype,&nbsp;directed by Saam Farahmand</a>, as the first amputee pop star.

Flashy colours, 90&rsquo;s-inspired wardrobes and unintimidated feminine swagger taking hold of our screen&hellip; that&rsquo;s what we&rsquo;re used to seeing from Charli XCX. This time however, we don&rsquo;t see her at all! Miss XCX channels her confidence behind the camera in her directorial debut for this stylish performance video for Raye&#39;s track I / U / Us.Raye boasts plenty of unfazed girl-power, backed up by her posse of high-spirited guyfriends in an otherwise empty iceskating rink as she casually gets back at a former lover with reasonable lyrical arguments. Now that&#39;s how you get over a break up!
