An intense, grotesque, extraordinary&nbsp;video for Slowthai by directing collective Crowns &amp; Owls.With great cinematography by Jack Exton and terrific grade by Tim Smith that punches the richness of the colours to the max, this has a hyperreal visual aesthetic as visceral as this powerful track&nbsp;deserves, without sinking into darkness.But at the heart is the performance of Tyron Frampton&nbsp;(aka Slowthai) himself, which is remarkable. It's a visible howl of anguish and pain, but still with that unmistakeable chink of impudence and humour.

Director duos The Rest and UNCANNY team up for an 'exercise in patience and self reflection' in the video for slowthai's Selfish.&nbsp;The video sees the artist trapped in a glass box, with nothing but paint, paper and his own reflection as company.&nbsp;Swapping out his often-cheeky persona for a much darker, introspective side of his character, the video is full of angst, fear and confusion, which is mirrored by the bubbling tension and explosive release in the cinematography.&nbsp;Opening with a slow, contained tracking shot to establish the environment, the camera soon launches into a frantic sprint from side to side, enveloping the mayhem that is unleashed on the inside of the box.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Nathan James Tettey reunites with Headie One to direct&nbsp;a cinematic promo for viral track Martin's Sofa.&nbsp;The director leans into the themes of the track, which pay tribute to a friend who helped the artist right at the start of his career.&nbsp;A montage of&nbsp;vignettes play out across the four-minute runtime, ranging from dreamlike, vibrant set pieces to exterior performance sections, all tied together with a sense of community and friendship. And having just signed to Knucklehead for global representation, it's a great way for Tettey to start a new chapter in his career.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Making Martin's Sofa was the most out of body experience I’ve endured in a while but I loved every second of it and to see the response from Headie’s fans has been incredible to witness because really making this video was for them as well as for Headie and Martin," Tettey has said. "Martin's actual sofa is real and was used in the video but the sentiment of what Headie is talking about is also real as well and for me was perfectly illustrated in the process all of us went through trying to bring his vision to life. Getting up each day at the crack of dawn and working into the deep of night to try and solve as many problems and tick as many boxes as is humanly possible before getting back up to do it all again the next day. "I just want to thank every member of the immediate team...&nbsp;Myself, Headie and Martin couldn’t have done it without you…"&nbsp;

LOOSE directs a fun promo for Fred Again..., celebrating the day that his new album came out.&nbsp;The video is prefaced by a message from the artist, who explains that he put out a call for fans to congregate in Hyde Park in central London&nbsp;with their bikes to celebrate the release of his new project. What ensued was a rather chaotic yet celebratory event.&nbsp;Presented in a mix of vertical and traditional 16:9 videos, the concept makes use of user-generated footage&nbsp;intercut with snapshots of Fred's POV, as the group ride haphazardly around London streets.&nbsp;The spontaneity of the concept and rudimental footage gives the video an organic, truthful feel, and proves that sometimes the simplest ideas can create something super effective.&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."

Directing duo Machine Operated deliver an intimate documentary-style music video for Loyle Carner's Georgetown - shot in the eponymous capital of Guyana.The pair travelled with Loyle to the country of his father, documenting his&nbsp;relationship with identity, community and belonging, with cinematographers&nbsp;Dan Landin - making a rare return to music videos -&nbsp;and Ola Pontakos.It starts with the words of Guyanese playwright/poet&nbsp;John Agard reciting his poem 'Half-Caste', and from that intriguing point, the film interweaves striking portraiture with understated performance vignettes, captured in a breathtakingly cinematic way, with gorgeous composition, colour palettes and textures.&nbsp;It's&nbsp;stunning work.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Filmawi has directed a beautiful conceptual piece for Jvck James's soulful&nbsp;Hennessy Tears.Starting with a flock of birds flying through a clear blue sky, the camera pans to Jvck James, walking on desert-like ground, and performing the song about being overwhelmed by love with real feeling. The camera moves ahead of him, and as Jvck addresses the lens&nbsp;for the first time, stardust particles begin to flow from the singer.The particles coming from Jvck are echoed by the birds above, and then Filmawi adds another surprising element - the camera is a the person that Jvck is singing to. That adds another layer to the already captivating song and video, elevating the theme of all-encompassing&nbsp;love.

Kasabian return with an intriguing dive into the possiblities of Artificial Intelligence-driven animation, working with Rawtape - aka Rory A Wood - to reimagine a band performance of Scriptvre, the first release from the upcoming new album.As we have seen with visuals such as <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/03/11/max-cooper-exotic-contents-xander-steenbrugge/75368" target="_blank">Xander Steenbrugge's recent video for Max Cooper</a>, it will be fascinating to see where we are heading with&nbsp;AI-manipulated imagery. In this case, Kasabian and Rawtape have dipped into&nbsp;the new box of tricks to enhance&nbsp;Kasabian's existing iconography.Certainly looks&nbsp;like there has been some&nbsp;judicious&nbsp;use of the 'Francis Bacon' setting.[imgtoken data:1]

Joao Retorta explores the connection between people and possessions in his quietly devastating visual for the American composer/performer Stephan Moccio.The video for Moccio's solo piano composition Halston&nbsp;is set&nbsp;in a&nbsp;Lost Property Office, where a solitary officer on the nightshift diligently records newly arrived belongings -&nbsp;photos, books, wallets, spectacles, passports, toys, and more - archiving and photographing each item.&nbsp;The viewer is invited to reflect upon&nbsp;the people who have lost these treasured possessions - who are represented in the film as anxious voices enquiring after lost items on the office answering machine.[imgtoken data:1]<blockquote>I was interested in the question of what the objects we leave behind say about ourselves.</blockquote>Retorta and his director of photography Fraser Rigg create a cinematic atmosphere in this setting with subdued and subtle lighting, complimenting the art direction by Louis Simonon, and allowing&nbsp;the plaintive&nbsp;refrain of Moccio's Halston&nbsp;to flourish&nbsp;as an emotional soundtrack to the human stories that accompany each object.&nbsp;And the understated performance by Linda Edmonds as the lost property officer provides a&nbsp;focus for the sense of loss and loneliness evoked by the music."I was interested in exploring the question of ‘what do the objects we leave behind tell us about ourselves?’," says Joao Retorta.&nbsp;"This setting works as a vehicle for us to look at these items and question their previous lives and owners,&nbsp;and how they&nbsp;came to be lost. I wanted them to work as small windows for something bigger. Something that is down to the viewer to fabricate."[imgtoken data:2]This is a&nbsp;real&nbsp;departure from much of Retorta's&nbsp;previous work in music videos. But the contained nature of the idea and the setting&nbsp;allows some magic to take place once the viewer is drawn in. Most importantly, it allows the cinematic emotion of Moccio's music to flourish."At its core, the video is about human experience," Retorta&nbsp;continues. "I wanted to create something that subtly explores life in the city by looking at the objects that its people left behind. Hopefully I achieved it to some degree.

Another fine addition to the impressive canon of Flohio videos.&nbsp;&nbsp;
