Following the success of last year's Glue Song, Jake Erland directs a charming single-take promo for&nbsp;beabadoobee.Full of ballerinas, a butler and, of course, Bea herself,&nbsp;the video for The Way Things Go has an artistic, painterly aesthetic, with some truly outstanding art direction and styling.&nbsp;It's an unexpected yet brilliant change of vibe for Bea, who worked closely in collaboration with Erland on the idea, and shows a fascinating ambition for bold concepts and situations that will challenge&nbsp;her as an artist.&nbsp;A must watch, and one that will certainly&nbsp;be on repeat over the summer period.&nbsp;

Ashnikko is back in&nbsp;Furmaan + Vasso's extraordinary promo for Weedkiller, the title track from the long-awaited debut album.&nbsp;Described as a "trans-dimensional fable, a folk-tech origin story of a birth, a death and a call to emergency in the face of evil," it's safe to say there are a lot of ideas going on, and the hyperactive blend of AI, performance and visual effects is&nbsp;brain-meltingly addictive to watch.&nbsp;Tied together by the fae universe created by Ashnikko on the album, the video is cinematic, gritty and textural, with an overarching sci-fi vibe linking three distinct vignettes that makes the whole concept a true spectacle.&nbsp;Marvellous work by&nbsp;Furmaan + Vasso - who also directed the impressive new Jess Glynne video&nbsp;- and proof that Ashnikko is one of the most exciting artists around today, musically and visually.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Furmaan + Vasso direct Jess Glynne's long-awaited return, with the stylish video for Silly Me.&nbsp;Touching upon themes of escapism,&nbsp;resilience and overcoming your past, the video has an elevated, almost fashion-film-esque aesthetic, which showcases Glynne in a way viewers won't have seen her before.&nbsp; "We thought a lot about the interior mind and where we store encroaching memories and self-doubt," the directors mention. "Silly Me takes place inside that place, and is about escaping and overcoming your past."It was a testament to Jess's resilience as an artist and was an honour to create this with her and such an inspiring team."Boasting slick styling, superbly crafted&nbsp;cinematography by Natasha Duursma, choreography from Holly Blakey, and a powerful central performance from Jess, it's an impressive showcase for her comeback - with a real earworm of a track to boot.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

Directing duo AB/CD/CD directs a mind-bending slice of pop magic for Mae Muller's I Wrote A Song - the UK entry at this year's Eurovision Song Contest.&nbsp;Taking it's lead from the&nbsp;infectious, bouncy vibe of the track the video by the French directing duo takes these qualities and amps them up to a hundred.&nbsp;Featuring a menagerie of glossy studio sets, the video - which was premiered on BBC ONE last Thursday, when the song was announced as Britain's entry to Eurovision - sees Muller lament her cheating ex, as she haunts him on a whimsical journey through dreamlike sets.&nbsp;Experimenting with perspective and a push-and-pull style narrative, it's exactly the kind of eccentric promo that a UK Eurovision entry needs, and is one of the most enjoyable videos of the year so far.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Jacob Erland directs a heartwarming promo for Beabadoobee.Shot across four day with Bea's friends&nbsp;and family in the Philippines, the video is an intimate, fly-on-the-wall montage of touching moments, shot on film to create a warm and nostalgic aesthetic.&nbsp;Connected by Bea's carefree performance, the docu-style video is a contrast to some of the more abstract, high-concept videos we've seen before, and it's great to see another side to the artist.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

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;

Directing duo Constantine //&nbsp;Spence direct a thrilling promo for VAAL.&nbsp;The enigmatic video plays out as a hypnotic fever dream, a visual cacophony of nightclub gazing and haunting abstract cutaways.Leaving any sense of narrative to the imagination, the video instead focuses on the intensity of emotion created by the music, and remains beautifully uncategorisable throughout.&nbsp;"For this video we really wanted to play into the intensity of Song Zero - the innate feeling of overriding threat"&nbsp;say&nbsp;Constantine // Spence. "We wanted the video to feel walk the line between the beautiful and impending threat."For us it was all about focusing in on the small moments that usually go missing on a frantic night out. Eliot is at the heart of this film - we view all these moments through their gaze."

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."

Thomas James directs a beautifully twisted and sublimely surreal exploration of&nbsp;inner demons coming&nbsp;to life, in his promo for Bring Me The Horizon's Strangers.In a nondescript industrial space, a host of characters undergo Cronenberg-style body horror transformations, intercut with a suitably haunting performance from the band.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Bodies twist, contort and conjoin in a horrific yet eerily beautiful way, balancing a nightmarish aesthetic with hyper-intimate, bravura cinematography by Adam Barnett.James draws on a host of influences - including&nbsp;a special nod to Chris Cunningham and Aphex Twin's Rubber Johnny - but adds his own facility for narrative and sense of humanity to the outstanding VFX work. It's a brilliantly successful execution of a stunningly ambitious concept.[imgtoken data:2]
