Taz Tron Delix makes a big statement with his video for&nbsp;J Hus' long-awaited return with It's Crazy. And its a triumph from start to finish.Taz develops Hus's unique visual world for his comeback,&nbsp;framing the intent of the artist so it's unswervingly clear from the first moment: Hus in on&nbsp;a mission to let everyone know he’s still got something to say and nothing has changed.We see the artist in a chaotic industrial setting, surrounded by faceless foot soldiers who cause havoc at every corner. From clashes with riot police to characters running atop demolished vehicles, this is a lawless world with only one ruler... Hus himself.&nbsp;Building to an explosive, riotous climax, the video is a confident, passionate return for the artist, with a supernatural, dystopic vibe.&nbsp;With a gritty yet bold aesthetic, with cinematography by Spike Morris, and&nbsp;a cinematic grade, care of Alex Gregory at No.8&nbsp;- the video is a slick and polished showcase for both J Hus and the entire creative team.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]

J Hus 'It's Crazy' by Tax Tron Delix

J Hus - It's Crazy (Official Video)

Sasha Nathwani launches a new phase of his music video directing career with this scintillating showcase for Tamil-Swiss singer-songwriter Priya Ragu, which combines elements of South Asian cinema and Kill Bill in a eye-catching style the director dubs 'Tamiltino'.Having celebrated&nbsp;South Asian fashion and culture in her previous videos, the video for&nbsp;Adalam Va! - which&nbsp;translates loosely as Let’s Dance -&nbsp;raises the bar in terms of visual elegance, choreography and pure physicality,&nbsp;with Priya mastering an eye-catching array of intense martial arts moves and energizing dance routines, created by the choreographer Supple Nam.The eye-popping action and performance elements also dovetail wonderfully within the striking splendour of&nbsp;Strawberry Hill House &amp; Garden, a place&nbsp;that is also clearly influenced by subcontinent architecture.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Adalam Va! is a most vibrant cocktail of electro-pop and soul-stirring South Indian sonics, with Priya’s voice rising like a beacon of positivity. “Adalam Va! is about hope in the darkest of days," she says. "It’s about the fresh energy that emerges out of these times. We wanted to express that feeling through this song and to get everyone on the dancefloor!”And Nathawani's well constructed visual captures the essence of the track with admirable wit and timeless cinematic glamour.“I’ve wanted to work with Priya for a while now," says the director. "This Adalam Va! video was the perfect opportunity. Working collaboratively with Priya and Japhna Gold, we crafted a narrative inspired by classic Tamil films from the 70s and 80s starring Indian film legend Rajinikanth, and fused this with the cinematic flair of Tarantino, coining this combination of styles: TAMILTINO.[imgtoken data:2]"The video tells the story of a Kill Bill-inspired character played by Priya, that liberates a gang of youths enslaved by an evil villain, freeing them through the encouraging chorus line Adalam Va which means Come and Dance."Priya really threw herself into the physical challenge of this video, working closely with choreographer and fight supervisor Supple Nam, she learnt how to use a silambam stick, a South Asian martial arts weapon, alongside numerous dance sequences, inspired by South Asian choreography.”

Priya Ragu 'Adalam Va!' by Sasha Nathwani

Lewis Capaldi returns to action with Forget Me, and teams up with Louis Bhose to show he is up for a crazy, even mind-boggling challenge for its video -&nbsp;a shot-for-shot remake of a classic video from the early 1980s.Many viewers won't have seen the original when it first appeared - it is over forty years old, after all - but the iconic visual of WHAM!'s Club Tropicana&nbsp;is immediately recognisable in the opening frames of Bhose's video for Forget Me. Viewed through a contemporary lens, this is&nbsp;completely offbeat in the best way. Throw in Capaldi's cheeky personality and Bhose's love for whimsical ideas, and you're onto a winner.&nbsp;It's also something of a remarkable feat. And despite being a carefully structured&nbsp;remake, the video is still full of its own energy and vigour, largely down to the creative crew involved.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;"It's not exactly what I imagine most people had on their bingo cards for 'Big Lewis Capaldi Comeback Vid'," reflext Louis Bhose.&nbsp;"But hey, sometimes you gotta kill yourself precisely recreating a classic paean to hedonism for a melancholy song about second heartbreaks. It was really fun though - a week in San Antonio getting carsick and annoying our excellent local art department ('yes! that's almost it!!')."Hard to single out members of our incredible crew, but everyone went absolutely above and beyond to make the vid the best it could be. Big shouts to Lewis for being up for anything and choosing such an odd idea... And am happy to report that I got heat stroke on the shoot and live in hope that any BTS will never see the light of day."&nbsp;

Birdman meet UK rap as we see Asher D walking through a one-take rehearsal for a play - only for&nbsp;reality and fantasy to&nbsp;start to spill into one another - in Filmawi's riveting video for Dat's A Wrap.Beginning with a theatre director screaming at a runner as the camera slowly pans out to reveal a whole production with crew, with some trying to calm the situation down. In the middle of everything Asher appears on-screen, calm and&nbsp;smooth as ever. He moves through the scene&nbsp;performing the track to the camera, describing his film career. He keeps his interactions&nbsp;with the surrounding cast to a minimum - even when one has a medical emergency.Filmawi excels in putting the viewer in a position where they feel familiar with the situation, only to flip the script in a perfectly-timed surreal moment at the climax.&nbsp;Watch again to look out for clues... the ending makes it one to remember.&nbsp;

Asher D ‘Dats A Wrap’ by Filmawi

ASHER D | DATS A WRAP

Sam Bailey returns to music videos&nbsp;with this joyful love letter to the Golden Age of film musicals, in his new promo for Metronomy.&nbsp;The band are seen adorned in giant flower headpieces, playing their song Love Factory, while being led by a conductor, and&nbsp;as a vivacious dancer, Majella Fitzgerald,&nbsp;takes centre stage.&nbsp;Majella is the busy Bee, who picks out each Metronomy 'flower', one by one, to 'pollinate' them. And this happens in a splendidly suggestive representation of Nature - choreographed by Supple Nam.&nbsp;From there, the concept launches into full, Golden Age musical mode, as the Bee interacts with each flower, around the stately house that provides the venue of the video, viewing each member through her trippy, multi-imaged 'bee vision.'&nbsp;It's an extremely skilled display of lightly frothy entertainment, that is also clever and subtly alternative in its joie de vivre. In other words, it's&nbsp;very Metronomy.[imgtoken data:1]<blockquote>The initial idea came from watching bees hopping from bud to bud on a rosemary bush.</blockquote>"From start to finish this music video was huge lumps of fun to make," says Sam Bailey. "The initial idea came from watching bees hopping from bud to bud on a rosemary bush in my garden, indiscriminately having sweet little intimate interactions before moving onto the next one."The flowers became happy little dance partners to the bee as it moved around from station to station, as if on a factory floor. It married up perfectly with Joe's lyrics and the uplifting feel of the track's hazy tone. I was thrilled that the band went for it."Knowing that they often get really involved in the performance side I thought we should challenge them to learn some sweet moves from choreographer Supple Nam, who has a great history of bringing theatricality and levity to his dances. Just look at his work on the Miike Snow promo [for Genghis Khan] by Ninian Doff."Our performers, Majella Fitzgerald and Andrew Lyle-Pinnock [the conductor] come from big tap backgrounds. So we had a lot of fun playing with moves from musicals of 50s Hollywood (White Christmas, Singin’ In The Rain, Let’s Dance...) God, it’s joyful watching dancers move around, exploring ideas, paying homage to Vera Ellen and co. Especially when they’ve got big ol’ Hollywood smiles on. The genre calls for constant smiling, but if I could dance as effortlessly as them (and without wheezing) I’d be smiling too.[imgtoken data:2]<blockquote>We had a ball trying to emulate this era of filmmaking...&nbsp;hard lighting, bright colours and really bumpy camera movements.</blockquote>"All of us behind the camera had a ball trying to emulate this era of filmmaking too. DoP David Wright had all the good ideas on how to capture this. Hard lighting, bright colours and really bumpy camera movements. Apologies to our grip Anthony - I made him loosen up all the tracks every time he’d painstakingly smoothed everything out. I think it looks good though - if you watch some of the tracking shots in Singin’ In The Rain they feel like the camera is being driven round on an ASDA trolley.&nbsp;"The band were unexhaustible. 48 hours before shooting this they had spent a day flying in harnesses for the excellent Right On Time&nbsp;promo by Juliet Casella and Thibaut Ceasar. So they must be awarded with some sort of endurance award. Especially since they aren’t smokers and I had them vaping (nothing toxic) for the pollination shot plates.&nbsp;"I have nothing but thanks to them for trusting the idea and getting stuck in. Same goes for the rest of the team who worked very hard to get this all going six floors up in a central London building with an unapologetically small lift."

In the cold light of day, a young man reflects guiltily on the previous&nbsp;night's infidelity, in Tom Gorst's relatable video for Goddard's banging&nbsp;remix of Cat Burns's Go.The video features a believable&nbsp;performance by Zirihi Zadi as the young man,&nbsp;with Gorst neatly intercutting between his party misbehaviour&nbsp;and the&nbsp;painful&nbsp;Morning After - and then freezing the action for Burns&nbsp;to make her entrance.The lead actor also supplies the&nbsp;dynamism to match this drum &amp; bass makeover of Burns'&nbsp;withering pop-soul ballad, in a dance choreographed by Supple Nam that bleeds from night into day - classily captured by Thomas English.

Harry Law directs a touching promo for Calum Scott's If You Ever Change Your Mind.&nbsp;Employing a choreography-based approach for the visual, the concept revolves around a couple who are on the cusp of breaking up, but drawn back to each other by their connection.&nbsp;We've seen plenty of interpretive choreography in the music video space, but this video ups the ante with seamless practical effects, which sees the dancers contort, balance and float in a way that feels ethereal and poignant.&nbsp;The movement feels inspired and emotional, whilst the intimate cinematography ensures the focus rests on the characters and the beautiful performance section.&nbsp;

Taz Tron Delix brings East and West together for Joy Crooke's deeply soulful Feet Don't Fail Me Now.Joy celebrates her Bengali roots and London upbringing, with the elements of East, West, tradition and modernity all drawn together with considerable flair and wit by Taz and team, in a series of eye-popping visuals.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Perhaps most importantly, this is a cultural melting pot defined by colour and character. The bright colours of the East pop from the staid objects of the West, while&nbsp;Joy's performance in various scenes is aided and abetted by a huge cast, from her gang of girl moped riders, to the Bengali boys, and the clubbers and dancers.[imgtoken data:2]The&nbsp;song has an infectious, Motown-esque bass-driven vibe&nbsp;with&nbsp;thought-provoking lyrics about how society is afraid to speak up on delicate topics in fear of being dismissed and ultimately cancelled - and in the midst of everything, Joy Crookes always comes across as the central focus, the person in the midst of the crazy world, with the lovely voice that raises goosebumps, calmly making sense of everything.[imgtoken data:3]

Joy Crookes 'Feet Don't Fail Me Now' by Taz Tron Delix

Joy Crookes - Feet Don't Fail Me Now (Official Video)

Paul Mescal makes an emotional call to his girlfriend at the beginning of the video for The Rolling Stones' Scarlet, directed by Chris Barrett and Luke Taylor - aka Us.&nbsp;So far, so Normal People.&nbsp;But then we notice that Mescal is living in the lap of luxury. In fact he has the run of Claridge's Hotel, no less.&nbsp;After leaving a half-drunken love note to his girlfriend, Mescal&nbsp;(the sensitive Connell&nbsp;in TV hit&nbsp;Normal People) spins this previously unreleased track from The Stones' early '70s&nbsp;album&nbsp;Goat's Head Soup,&nbsp;proceeds to drink his body weight in whiskey, dance cheesily in the mirror, have an emotional breakdown and trash the hotel room.&nbsp;And then he heads down to the hotel lobby - which is even grander than the one in that other famous deserted hotel video, Weapon Of Choice.&nbsp;The video was made under social distancing guidelines, and clearly it could not have happened at any other time - and probably for no other band in the world. It's certainly a treat for the growing legion of the Mescal fans - and for fans of Barrett and Taylor too.
