KLVDR let&nbsp;us in on Young T &amp; Bugsey’s latest side hustle - house flipping - in the high stakes promo for Big Bidness.&nbsp;At a location somewhere in suburbia, we see the artists joined by a team of girls, ready to break in and 'repossess' the contents of&nbsp;a multimillion pound mansion.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Stefan Yap keeps the cinematography fluid yet glossy, employing unique camera moves to keep the story moving at a breakneck pace.&nbsp;Punchy and playful, it's a great spin on similar concepts, and is anchored by strong performances from all the cast involved.&nbsp;

SOB's latest music video for Hendrix Harris is a darkly, immersive film revolving around a night of seduction.Featuring actress&nbsp;Louisa Fernando, the directing duo - Eseosa Ohen and Joe Sha - create an enigmatic tension between the pair, the suggestion of erotic roleplay and a sense of the pair of lovers grappling with issues of trust.[imgtoken data:1]The video carries many of the directing duo's trademarks - rich textures, splendid art direction and an abstract narrative - and matches the addictive soundscapes in the track.&nbsp;Hazy, blurred cinematography elevates the sensual mood of the project, and a clever use of lighting effects creates a heightened, dreamy feel.&nbsp;

Nono Ayuso directs a heartwrenching promo for Joy Crookes' Skin, captured in a truly arresting way - including having Joy travels around London, with her friend, on a bed."The song is about someone very close to the artist who thought life wasn’t worth living during a dark time," explains Ayuso.&nbsp;"We created this intimate film, where the bed is the symbol of the love between the couple, but at the same time is the symbol of the darker times. Both sides of the coin: love and depression, you never want to get out of your bed."I also wanted to show that even if you are feeling down or in love, the world never stops, and to achieve this we shot a moving bed in the streets of London."[imgtoken data:1]Tackling a difficult subject matter with&nbsp;a delicate, thoughtful touch, Ayuso captures a series of performance setups in a raw and&nbsp;intimate way - in a bold portrait-shape&nbsp;aspect ratio. He lets the story talk for itself without any distracting effects or cutaways.Joy Crookes adds that she wanted to the video to be a genuine depiction of the song itself.&nbsp;“The song is about someone very close to me who thought life wasn’t worth living during a dark time," she explains. "When it came to the video, it felt necessary to include that person in it. I asked him sincerely and I was incredibly grateful when he chose to participate.[imgtoken data:2]"The making of the video created an ownership and healing of that difficult time we both lived through. The intensity that was generated from it being a real-life experience for the both of us translates into the video because ultimately it is real."This autobiographical way of making work is hard emotionally but undeniably my favourite way of making art. Nono was so integral in this, as not only is he a fantastic director but a sensitive and empathetic character that made telling a story as difficult as this one&nbsp;a cathartic experience.”&nbsp;

Filmawi has created a hugely impactful video for Burna Boy’s performance of the heartfelt Monsters You Made for the BET Hip-Hop Awards. Evoking the era of the Black Panthers, the&nbsp;Nigerian superstar performs to students in front of footage of peaceful mass protests through the decades, in an atmospheric old building that is now a place of learning. The&nbsp;youths&nbsp;absorb Burna's&nbsp;words,&nbsp;while he&nbsp;is supported by a passionate live band - and Chris Martin appears, performing the chorus, as part of the film projection.&nbsp;Filmawi’s scene-setting and measured approach&nbsp;compliment the song's impassioned message&nbsp;to stop police brutality everywhere - including the&nbsp;movement in Nigeria to dismantle&nbsp;the notorious SARS (Special Anti-Robbery Squad).&nbsp;The band are wearing #StopPoliceBrutality T-shirts and as the performance ends, fists are held high, as a list of names of innocent Nigerians killed by SARS appears in the final frames. This a video that lingers in the mind long after it finishes.

Matt Walker directs a striking concept&nbsp;for JME's You Watch Me.&nbsp;Having shot a number of videos for the album&nbsp;campaign, Walker takes a more conceptual approach to this project, presenting a quickfire series of performance setups and unusual vignettes.Switching from&nbsp;police interview&nbsp;to&nbsp;art show, and then to a lo-fi black and white street setup, it's a dynamic idea that starts with a bang and keeps building until the last second.&nbsp;

Friends at the disco show each other what they’re made of, in Joel Honeywell’s directorial debut for Blue Lab Beats.As he's a rising star of cinemagraphy, Honeywell was never going to shoot something less than great looking. Sure enough,&nbsp;the video for Hi There&nbsp;is a gorgeous harmony of blue and gold, supported by great transitions and some sensational dancing.&nbsp;But you also get the sense that as a director, he&nbsp;has a real warmth and feeling for his stars –&nbsp;and an eye for capturing their personalities on screen.&nbsp;This may be a timeless disco, but it also has the tangible feeling of Blue Lab Beats' homepatch of North London right now - which Honeywell framed delicately in his previous outings as the band's DOP.

In this mesmerising promo for Roses Gabor, Sophie Jones draws inspiration from classical Renaissance art and still life and gives it a very contemporary twist.&nbsp;Jones juxtaposes traditional imagery with modern black figures to create a moving work of art - at first a serene piece, but one that becomes increasingly frenetic and intense and the energy picks up in the song.&nbsp;The beautifully styled cast start moving with abandon, with&nbsp;transported expressions to match the imaginative fuzzy electronics of Illusions.&nbsp;
