Otis Dominique and RAYE co-direct the dazzling&nbsp;promo for new track Escapism.&nbsp;Capturing the brutality of post break-up blues and the hedonistic need to escape&nbsp;the reality of being dumped, the video follows the artist as she turns to partying, drinks, drugs and any excuse to forget the heartbreak that's ripping through her.&nbsp;Using a mix of camera techniques and a blurred amalgam of effects, bright lights and a non-linear timeline, it's a bold, unabashed vision that complements the punchy track.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]"We worked really hard to create an honest depiction of where I was at that time in my life,” explains RAYE. “It was fun and wild. We shot it over a couple of days and wore point-of-view cameras during a wild night out at many different clubs. I pushed myself outside of my comfort zone and I ran 150 metres in 5 inch heels. We really took it there! I am really proud of it and hope everyone enjoys the visuals."Otis Dominique also says that he is very happy with the results of his collaboration with RAYE.&nbsp;"I'm so gassed to see this film come out after all the hard work put in from the whole team involved!" he says. "RAYE&nbsp;and (creative director) Mikey's approach to this project really allowed us all to push the limits creatively and make something that hasn't quite been done like this before."The song has so many ups and downs,&nbsp;changes of mood and vibe, so the challenge lay in how to connect these feelings and emotions together through filmmaking and storytelling without being too on the nose."My favourite element of the film is the contrast between our real night out footage and the considered setups we shot inside the exact same locations, truly showing the differences between reality and state of mind. That stuff goes hard and is so trippy!"

Mumford &amp; Sons brought their ambitious new live show to the O2 in London on 29th November last year.&nbsp;Dick Carruthers, directing legend of live music, who had filmed the band during their tour of South Africa a couple of years ago - released as Blood &amp; Thunder&nbsp;- came on board to chronicle the occasion, and from that&nbsp;has come this vibrant and emotional distillation of the evening,&nbsp;from soundcheck to the very end of the show.At its core is the performance that climaxed the whole show: Delta, the title track of the new album. It begins with the band playing the first section of this slow-burning&nbsp;epic during the soundcheck, in an empty arena. Then it transforms into a packed O2, and we witness that remarkable connection that the band has with their&nbsp;audience.With the stage in the middle of the arena, it&#39;s a radically different show&nbsp;for a band that have always been known for setting up in a line across a stage. Here at the O2, the crowd envelop Mumford &amp; Sons from all sides. And Carruthers&#39; command of his multi-camera team ensures that you get the complete scale of the occasion as well as the small treasurable details of the band&#39;s performance on stage - and the warmth between them.

Mumford & Sons - Delta (Live From The O2)

Another powerful ballad from your&nbsp;favourite British soul singer, builds even&nbsp;more anticipation for her upcoming album&nbsp;25.&nbsp;Unlike the video that heralded Adele&#39;s return for Hello, this is a&nbsp;live session &ndash; a pared-down performance by the singer of her new track&nbsp;When We Were Young at&nbsp;The Church studios, captured by liver performance director par excellence&nbsp;Paul Dugdale - who won the Live Coverage MVA at the UK Music Video Awards 2015 earlier this month.&nbsp;

Taken from Health&#39;s performance at The Dome in London&nbsp;in June, Giorgio Testi&#39;s live video&nbsp;of Stonefist is the first of its kind.&nbsp;Giorgio &ndash; renowned&nbsp;for his live films of Blur, The Rolling Stones, Savages and more &ndash; captured the performance&nbsp;as a single shot on a Sony F65 8k&nbsp;camera.It is (almost certainly) the first live concert film to be shot in 8K - and&nbsp;all the movement was&nbsp;executed by zooms and pans. One day your computer (and TV) will catch up. Probably soon.&nbsp;

In stark&nbsp;contrast to their other new video for <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/05/11/slaves-cheer-london-ben-ross" target="_blank">The Slaves</a>, Ben &amp; Ross&#39;s promo for Borns&#39; Electric Love shimmers with classic rock glamour and super-glam lighting. It&#39;s an enticing&nbsp;performance lit with neon light and populated with glow-in-the-dark backup dancers, and gives Borns (aka Garrett Borns) pretentions of icon status.&nbsp;He performs atop a glowing LED dance platform before suddenly&nbsp;glowing white-hot himself. Then continuing with the video&#39;s&nbsp;electricity-centered theme, the singer finds himself in an&nbsp;animated electric love vortex made up of&nbsp;neon signs. A trippy video for all the new-age psyche-lovers out there.&nbsp;

Simple Minds 'Honest Town' by Giorgio Testi

Simple Minds - Honest Town (Official Video)

Once in a great while, you find a true gem among performance videos. They&#39;re difficult to do well for a number of reasons, sometimes purely because a band may not be all that interesting to watch live. But then, the stars align to bring a video chock-full&nbsp;of lush visual energy to your browser window, and you can&#39;t help but crank the volume up as high as it&#39;ll go.Disclosure&#39;s new &#39;F for You&#39; is exactly that. Directed by Bullion&#39;s Ross McDowell and Ben Murray, a simple, back-lit performance quickly explodes into a hypnotic graphics-laden LED trip. With infectious energy from the duo&#39;s music as a backdrop, &nbsp;the video moves from silhouettes to sci-fi hyperdrive projections, as shards of light cut through a pristine soundstage. It&#39;s more an&nbsp;experience&nbsp;than a video, a taste of what Disclosure has brought to dance floors on both sides of the Atlantic.What a fitting concept, then, considering that Bullion created some of the duo&#39;s initial videos - for Control and Latch &ndash; just before their explosive, chart-topping growth into one of the most talked-about and most-played groups found in grimy basement clubs and top-shelf music blogs alike.&nbsp;&nbsp;
