A great, slowburning performance video for Foals by Aaron Brown, aka Focus Creeps.Shot in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Brown&nbsp;keep things simple to begin with. But then the performance of In Degrees&nbsp;begins to switch seamlessly between daytime, and the band playing on a deserted modernist stage in the jungle, and then the nighttime equivalent, heaving with a dancing audience.Foals frontman Yannis&nbsp;Philippakis is the focal point throughout, but the beautifully crafted approach allows the viewer to gradually get inside the performance and the song.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Malia James and Troye Sivan have teamed up again for Wild.&nbsp;A great mix of mini DV home video style candid footage and cinematic performance, this video explores the light, fun and exciting moments of being young, falling in love and doing what the hell you want.It&#39;s a solid, fun pop video that isn&#39;t afraid to represent love in the LGBT community in a beautiful, carefree way. The video doesn&#39;t set out to make a great statement about love, it just tells some stories about how it&#39;s normal and exciting to be young and in love with someone, anyone, regardless of gender, race or sexuality&nbsp;- which is the greatest statement of all.

Dagny&rsquo;s debut track Backbeat has inspired a good-looking performance video with all the bells and whistles,&nbsp;directed by the prolific Malia James.The&nbsp;Norwegian singer dazzles the viewer, performing with a sparkle in her eye&nbsp;under the lights of a disco ball, then&nbsp;reflecting the&nbsp;blue glare from&nbsp;dozens of TV screens in a sequined outfit, and then multiplied on the screen in a&nbsp;kaleidoscopic&nbsp;effect. Its a playful promo for a&nbsp;fun, punchy song.&nbsp;

Anne-Marie heads off to Mexico City with the in-demand&nbsp;Malia James for a video that&#39;s loosely inspired by the Baz Luhrmann version of Romeo &amp; Juliet. But this is not so much about the tragic love between young members of&nbsp;two warring clans, as about Anne-Marie&#39;s relationship with a decidedly wayward Romeo. And setting off the alarm bells.Another fine story-plus-performance video from the director making a big impression in pop videos &ndash; and was apparently suffering from food poisoning on the shoot - and deftly edited by Chris Roebuck, who worked an all-nighter to complete this in time for the release of the single.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Malia James is quickly establishing herself as a new go-to director for mainstream pop videos. Her most recent work for <a href="http://promonews.tv/videos/2016/05/11/honne-ft-izzy-bizu-someone-loves-you-malia-james" target="_blank">Honne &amp; Izzy Bizu</a> is very good indeed, and&nbsp;this one for Hailee Steinfeld - edited by Chris Roebuck at Cut+Run in London - was released in March and clocked up&nbsp;a very healthy amount of views for the Oscar-nominated actress (for her role in the Coen Brothers remake of True Grit)&nbsp;turned singer.&nbsp;

Hailee Steinfeld ft DNCE 'Rock Bottom' by Malia James

Hailee-Steinfeld-'Rock-Bottom-Ft.-Dnce'-by-Malia-James

A run-and-gun forbidden love story set on the streets of Tokyo laced with some gorgeous ad-hoc imagery is the visual accompaniment to Someone That Loves You by Honne and Izzy Bizu.The story behind the production of this video seems nail-bitingly tense. In 24 hours, director Malia James managed to cast her actress via Instagram,&nbsp;and call&nbsp;in her lead actor from LA - giving him just three hours to get on a plane to a country he&#39;d never set foot in before. So any narrative-enhancing looks of bemusement on his part are probably quite genuine.All this Eastern guerilla-shot loveliness is intercut with a massively colourful performance from Honne and Izzy Bizu that all manages to coalesce with the narrative in a rainbow haze towards the video&#39;s conclusion. Not bad at all for a day&#39;s work really.

Like most self-respecting hip-hop artists, the Migos crew of&nbsp;Quavo, Takeoff, and Offset&nbsp;know how to&nbsp;throw a party. But Ninian Doff has literally added another dimension to their fun, in his video for One Time - commissioned as part of the 2015 YouTube Music Awards.&nbsp;Ninian&#39;s video has them waking up in a gloriously lofty&nbsp;villa in a&nbsp;post-party daze, and then realising they&#39;re seeing a visible echo of the previous night&#39;s antics - and they&#39;re now operating in the fourth&nbsp;dimension. Taking&nbsp;a tour&nbsp;of&nbsp;the house means leaving&nbsp;a trail behind them as they&nbsp;show off the bling, the gorgeous house&nbsp;and&nbsp;the outdoor pool.&nbsp;It makes for a visual feast, showcasing clever&nbsp;VFX&nbsp;cut-out&nbsp;techniques executed at&nbsp;Finish in London &ndash; and&nbsp;a very entertaining video.&nbsp;
