Vaughan Arnell directs a chromatic promo for Gary Barlow and guest artists Michael Buble and&nbsp;Sebastian Yatra.Shot across three countries, the video marks another collaboration between Arnell and Barlow - one that probably began with the Take That video for Back For Good in the mid-Nineties -&nbsp;and radiates their trademark feel-good vibes.&nbsp;Switching between minimalist performance and&nbsp;kaleidoscopic dance sections, the rhythmic stylings of the track are visualised through Will Bex's&nbsp;cinematography -&nbsp;and the irresistible spark of&nbsp;energy from all three artists.&nbsp;"The video was shot in London with Gary, and then remote directing Michael in Vancouver and Sebastian in Miami," explains Vaughan.&nbsp;"Will Bex designed the lighting set up so that it could be duplicated for each artist in their respective cities - using the same camera, lenses and specifically designed moves to give it a constant look and feel."

Charlotte Rutherhood invites you to a party in the dollhouse.&nbsp;Little Mix’s latest video&nbsp;is a throwback to doll commercials of the nineties and early noughties&nbsp;- for this interpolation of Soul II Soul's smash hit Back to Life.Rutherford’s plastic, hyperreal aesthetic is in full display, and her attention to period detail is uncanny. Bounce Back&nbsp;has the frenetic energy of a Hype Williams video and the Day-Glo production design of Saturday morning commercial.&nbsp;The so-bad-it’s-good styling - hairclips, faux fur, pastels and lycra - is pure Barbie, by way of Spice Girls. And that is to say nothing of the denim ensemble. This particular look is either a treat or horror for&nbsp;anyone who was around to witness Britney and Justin’s infamous outfits at the 2001 AMAs.

Marc Klasfeld proves his mastery of the pop video medium with this slick and sexy video for Mabel.It features several well-designed, colour-coded setups - expertly shot by DoP Will Bex -&nbsp;as Mabel seductively changes from pink-blonde in a mirrored room, to tough black bob with her pals in a dance sequence. Hypnotically appropriate for the lustful yearning at the heart&nbsp;of Mad Love.

Mabel 'Mad Love' by Marc Klasfeld

Legendary music video director Vaughan Arnell brings his absolute A-game to this collaboration between Sam Smith and future R&amp;B pop queen Normani. It&#39;s a very classy, beautifully-crafted belter of a video.Reflecting the sultry melancholy and brooding sexuality of the song Dancing With A Stranger, solitary Sam Smith is joined in his super modern house in the wintry countryside by ghosts - or holograms who come alive within and around him. It&#39;s a very Arnell-esque way to introduce the dancers that haunt Smith, evoking the classic Fastlove video for George Michael he directed with Anthea Benton in the mid-90s.And then comes the explosively sexy Normani, whose combination of vocals and dance add a new dimension to the song and the video. You can&#39;t take your eyes off her. And although they never meet - appropriately considering the song - the production makes the two performers dovetail together perfectly. There&#39;s great work here by a whole team of people - including DoP Will Bex and Arnell&#39;s regular editor David Webb. A real treat.&nbsp;

Bradley&amp;Pablo reunite with Charli XCX for the sultry R&amp;B groove of 5 In The Morning, making a very sexy video in a rather unlikely setting.Shot in a vast, deserted industrial warehouse at night, the duo capture Charli as a girl ready to go &quot;all in&quot;, with killer choreo, epic lighting and dramatic camerawork (provided by the redoubtable Will Bex).

The original music video couple, Vaughan Arnell and Robbie Williams, are back for an incredible 16th collaboration.The Heavy Entertainment Show video sees Robbie play all the major roles in a boxing match. Ring announcer&nbsp;Robbie calls the match as two prize fighters (Robbie Vs Robbie) beat the living hell from one another in a battle of golden spit and glamorous ringside entourage complete with make-up that certainly feels like a throwback to Robbie &amp; Vaughan&#39;s Let Me Entertain You video from 1998.

Emil Nava keeps up his track record of delivering slick, visually rich pop performance videos with an edge.This clip for Jennifer Hudson is awash with electric blue light that drenches the vast, dilapidated space that Hudson performs in. Cutting between this sparse, striking visual and footage of Hudson making her way through a crowded rave&nbsp;is a great contrast.Somehow the rave scene manages to be visually reminiscent of the infamous &#39;hammer fight&#39; scene in Oldboy, except with more colourful partying and less hammer-based violence. No? Just me?

Jennifer Hudson 'Remember Me' by Emil Nava

One look at his Twitter feed will tell you&nbsp;that despite your feelings for James Blunt, the man is incredibly self-aware. And self-deprecating to a tee. A recent Blunt line went: &quot;&quot;You thought 2016 was bad? I&#39;m releasing a new album in 2017.&quot;With that as a driving force, Vaughan Arnell reunites with Blunt to provide the ideal vehicle for the album&#39;s first single Love Me Better, blending hyper-colourful pop slickness and tongue-in-cheek humour in the kind&nbsp;a location the singer knows only too well - a neon-drenched nightclub.And tonight, Blunt happens to be the least popular patron in the club - but coming to terms&nbsp;with his fate. Imagine if Nicolas Winding-Refn&#39;s&nbsp;Only God Forgives&nbsp;was actually about a 42-year-old man who can&#39;t keep up with nightclub culture despite his best intentions and you&#39;re most of the way there.

Vaughan Arnell brings a heap of style and class to proceeding in this Kate Moss-starring karaoke performance for an Elvis classic.Piling icons on top of icons here, Arnell&nbsp;(Icon Award winner at this year&#39;s UKMVAs) employs Kate Moss to lip-sync Elvis Presley&#39;s &#39;Wonder of You&#39; (backed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, no less) at none other than Abbey Road Studios.What&#39;s more, the whole thing was shot with a mix of traditional black and white, and infrared cameras - making for a uniquely stylish video proving that Arnell goes big, even for what seems, on paper, like a relatively simple performance video.

Georgia Hudson presents a slick, exciting video for Sigma and Take That&#39;s Cry, which is surely destined to be one of the hits of the summer.Taking place in the grounds of a race track, we see stock cars and motorbikes performing all manner of stunts -&nbsp;coloured smoke billowing from somewhere underneath the car. It&#39;s a colourful and hugely impressive series of set-pieces.All the while Take That wander around, singing and observing as some young, beautiful people - including Sigma &ndash; have a lovely time playing games and dancing and all sorts. Thematically it&#39;s definitely all about the idea&nbsp;of being young, free, and kicking over the traces. And the visuals paint that picture incredibly well.

Emil Nava has delivered this brooding&nbsp;black and white visual treatment&nbsp;for Rudimental&#39;s Lay It On Me&nbsp;featuring Ed Sheeran, from their second album We The Generation.With an interesting photographic direction by DoP&nbsp;Will Bex, the clip speeds through rooms&nbsp;filled with various characters, including&nbsp;musicians, ballerinas, dogs, with&nbsp;clips of war tanks and explosions interspersed throughout - while vocalist&nbsp;Sheeran becomes a near-angelic&nbsp;presence.It&#39;s an ambitious&nbsp;video dealing with the big themes, and goes as far as to&nbsp;spell them out, with words like&nbsp;&quot;brotherhood,&quot; &quot;struggle&quot; and&nbsp;&quot;love&quot; flashing up on screen.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
