Alex Southam directs a touching comeback promo for Robbie Williams, set in a TV studio where Robbie is being interviewed by none other than himself.&nbsp;Southam's video for Lost - and this is the Director's Cut -&nbsp;begins with the artist backstage of a talk show, ready to be interviewed by his suited-and-booted TV interrogator. Who turns out to be his&nbsp;döppelgänger.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]As Real Robbie is grilled by his alter-ego, it's a chance to recount some of the singer's most iconic moments on a&nbsp;TV screen on set. That adds to the air nostalgia, with a sense of him attempting to overcome regret, and trying to map out a way forward for the future.&nbsp;It's strong work by Alex Southam - and a fitting comeback showcase for the irrepressible Robbie.&nbsp;

Robbie Williams 'Lost' (Director's Cut) by Alex Southam

Sam Ryder, the UK's impressive runner-up at this year's Eurovision Song Contest with Spaceman, returns to action with another irrepressible performance in Alex Southam's celebratory song-and-dance production for Somebody.For the unapologetically sunny track, Southam puts his own spin upon a great tradition of videos that have reimagined the old-school Hollywood musical. And that turns out to be&nbsp;pretty much the ideal vehicle for&nbsp;Ryder's larger-than-life persona.In a picture-perfect European city, Ryder&nbsp;bounces through main street, finding dance partners at the café and cinema, launching himself from a scissor lift,&nbsp;and stopping off for a quick snip at the barbers before multiplying before our eyes in his big finale. He busts some unfeasible moves in a various ways&nbsp;that recall those classic Spike Jonze videos for Bjork's Oh So Quiet and Fatboy Slim's Weapon Of Choice. And finally director and artist put there own playful twist on the classic Texas Switch.[imgtoken data:1]"The brief for the video came with a few buzz words - fun, quirky, sunny, bright, bold and joyful - and so that's exactly the sort of video we set out to make," explains Southam.&nbsp;"A handful of film references were shared,&nbsp;one of which is probably glaringly apparent in the final video. But we wanted to up the ante and make it feel super-playful - with it's tongue firmly wedged in its cheek - so that's when the use of doubles and the Texas Switch came into play."The video was filmed in Belgrade, on what Southam describes as "one of the most bonkers backlots I've ever seen." It was also in the middle&nbsp;of the extreme heatwave that has scorched Europe this summer, but "we had an absolute blast making it," he says."I want to call out DoP Murren Tullett’s stellar work and Jay Revell on choreography duty - those boys came correct. But to be fair everyone smashed it.&nbsp;I'm still gutted we didn’t get to use the jet-ski set-up - but I did throw a man off a scissor lift, so its all swings and roundabouts."As for Sam Ryder, can he really be as unfeasibly cheerful as he seems? "Sam is the real deal," asserts Southam. "A genuine and super upbeat chap always with a smile. So we wanted to capture him spreading those good vibes around and highlight his infectious personality."

Francis Wallis explores the idea of an interconnected society, in his&nbsp;promo&nbsp;for&nbsp;the enigmatic Spencer Ramsay.&nbsp;Intermixing retrofuturistic graphics and high-tech themes, the anachronistic video for Love With You follows a scientist who develops an artificial intelligence, and has to teach her what it means to be alive.&nbsp;Hallucinogenic patterns and luminescent tattoos add a psychedelic streak to the concept, allowing viewers to experience the otherworldly circumstances the artificial intelligence finds herself in.&nbsp;

Alex + Plex Studio direct a trippy animated promo for No Label's Torazine.&nbsp;Centred on a feast of unappetising foods and creepy table decorations, the abstract video unravels in a series of clever camera movements, with an increasingly surreal aesthetic straight out of a drug-fuelled fever dream.&nbsp;Mesmerisingly colourful and effervescent, the alluring textures make you want to grab out and touch everything on screen, though it's probably best that this world is contained in a fictional dimension - any more than a few minutes would be dizzying (in the best way possible).[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Alex + Plex Studio direct a lucid dream of a performance video for Beatrich.&nbsp;Sleepwalking through her house and into the open world, the video presents an abstract narrative layered with analogue textures and vibrant colours - which the duo are&nbsp;well accustomed to, given their focus on motion and design&nbsp;in previous work.&nbsp;A great little video that marks the director's first step into live action filming, and showcases their ability to interweave&nbsp;contemporary and vintage aesthetics.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Dumas Haddad celebrates Priya Ragu's vibrant take on her Sri Lankan heritage in this blazingly colourful&nbsp;video for Chicken Lemon Rice.Having worked with the singer on two other songs in a live session for the Live At The Archives series, Haddad - recently signed to FAMILIA for music videos - shot the official video for&nbsp;Chicken Lemon Rice in a beautifully dramatic and damaged house over in West London, close to where Priya was isolating during her stay in the UK before Christmas.&nbsp;With an emphasis on Priya's charismatic performance, supported by a glamourous cast of extras&nbsp;and a stunning take on South Asian fashion, Haddad delivers an exciting visual flavour to the singer's&nbsp;blend of East and West musical styles.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FAMILIA head of music Ryan Morgan says the inspiration behind the aesthetic of the video came out of conversations between the Priya, Haddad, management, label commissioners Dom McKiernon and Lottie Llewellyn, and himself. "It was clear from the very beginning that Priya wanted to showcase her Sri Lankan heritage in the most organic way by introducing certain colour palettes, dance movements and art elements to accent the details of the vibrancy of Sri Lankan culture," he explains.[imgtoken data:1]"Dumas and Priya collaborated on boards with art director Jade Adeyemi and stylist Neesha Tulsi Champaneria to make sure we included authentic textures, fabrics and patterns throughout the set design and outfits for each character within the video."Dumas Haddad adds:&nbsp;“Collaborating with Priya and her team was beyond enriching, as we were able to shape our vision together to create a collective consciousness around the video."The song has a beautiful blend of styles and Priya’s heritage, so we were certainly keen to touch on these flavours on screen, in a unique and exciting blend. Our aim was to create a visual that was true to Priya whilst pushing our boundaries."

Priya Ragu 'Chicken Lemon Rice' by Dumas Haddad

Kojaque takes a wide-eyed journey through a pulsating neon nightmare in Henry Dean's hypnotic promo for Coming Up.&nbsp;Anchored by an outstanding performance from the artist, the&nbsp;cinematic video captures the angst and urgency of the titular experience and throws it right back in your face -&nbsp;it’s a visual feast that intrigues at every turn.Opening with an injured Kojaque bleeding out onto the backseat of a car, the film is a manic recollection of a drug-fuelled trip, and full of unexpected twists and turns.HENRY DEAN:<blockquote>Eventually we landed on this wide-eyed ride through a pulsating neon hell.</blockquote>"As soon as this brief landed in my inbox, I knew it would be one for me. After delving into Kojaque’s music and getting a glimpse of the visual world he’s created for himself so far, it was clear this would be a chance to collaborate with an artist who respects the craft and embraces outside-the-box-ideas."Some lofty concepts were discussed - including a one-shot video that involved catching a drone in a car and throwing it off a roof. But eventually we landed on this wide-eyed ride through a pulsating neon hell. Keeping our carousel of cinematic references at the forefront, we made a video that hopes to capture all the urgency, angst and relentlessness of Coming Up."RYAN MORGAN (HEAD OF MUSIC VIDEOS, FAMILIA)"Henry's done an incredible job creating a cinematic pick 'n mix for the eyes. But why should we be the ones to comment, when the people of YouTube have done such a stellar job for us... From YT user A*********y: 'How do I get this to auto repeat on my eyeballs' And, from&nbsp;M********n: 'Absolutely violently ill.'...Couldn't have said it better ourselves."

David East directs a hallucinatory vision for Baby Queen's deadpan&nbsp;appraisal of the effectiveness of anti-depressants in Medicine.&nbsp;Enclosed in a sterile white room, the video opens with&nbsp;flickering performance setups, before ramping up the energy with abstract art direction and frenetic cinematography.&nbsp;Like a drug trip gone awry, we cut in and out of surreal vignettes, moving through different setups at a wild pace.&nbsp;Expect oversized piñatas, bleeding walls and creepy ghosts, as Bella aka Baby Queen explains how her medication has drained life of all real meaning.&nbsp;
