Connor Maclaren's video for Irish folk outfit Caroline explores a tale of nostalgia through the lens of an ailing old man, who is transported back to a golden time he spent with his first love.Seeing the knitted bracelet that she used to wear improves the old man's spirits. That that leads to a climactic dance in the hall where the band are performing. Both couples - one young, one old - join each other in a bittersweet moment.

Roxana Baldovin directs a cool bubblegum fantasy with a sense of unabashed fun for singer and hugely successful TikToker Bella Poarch. The poolside promo for Crush is a candy-coloured dream, boasting slick choreography, pastel colour palettes, taking inspiration from J-Pop culture. Tied together with tropical art direction and short bursts of animation, it's an eye-catching video with plenty of standout moments. "Ever since I saw Build A Bitch a few years ago I knew I wanted to create something with Bella," says Baldovin. “Crush is Bella’s first venture into bubblegum pop, so I wanted a music video that felt as smooth and delicious and feel-good as the song did."I have to thank Rio Warner, Bella’s creative director, for advocating for me for this project. She really brought it all together with her Tokyo-inspired looks."

In this introspective promo for Shaé Universe directed by Slane, the R&B artist ruminates on love and regret, staring out at silent night-time streets from the back of a taxi..Featuring Kojey Radical as the love interest, the video switches up at the halfway mark, where the pair argue and reconnect under vivid red lights, before sharing the taxi journey home. Putting performance at the centre of the concept, Slane keeps things slick and straightforward in terms of cinematography and blocking, lending a sense of heightened realism to the story.

Andrew Thomas Huang returns to music videos with a beautifully crafted promo and a thrilling shift in visual style for multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer and vocalist Alexandra Drewchin - aka Eartheater. Boasting a late 90's aesthetic, with the sensibility of cosmetics and fragrance commercials of the period, the visual for Crushing sees the artist explore a decadent mirrored room, interspersed with unique performance vignettes. Snapshots of a narrative - which involve the artist form glassware, drink from it and then shatter it with her voice - adds to the considerably alluring atmosphere. Huang captures the laidback, transcendent feel of the track, and with the camera constantly moving, never quite revealing a single portrait of Eartheater until late in the piece, the video maintains its sense of mystery and excitement throughout. Video screens of HD footage of Eartheater, video frames within frames, and terrific stylised cinematography by Laura Merians Goncalves eightens this feeling of otherworldliness.It's visually breathtaking, as one would expect from this masterful director, but also a real departure from his previous work. It's also confident enough to end the piece with a section of BTS video revealing a moment in its making. That simply adds to the magic.

Noah Lee reunites with 070 Shake for their third collaboration together, and another dreamlike offering, for Black Dress. The video is built around a haunting, hypnotic concept. It opens shortly after a plane crash, where we see 070 suspended in a tree, her parachute entangled in the branches, like a butterfly sprawled on a pin. From there, a surreal montage sees the artist float down to the ground, battle with the wind and transition into a new environment, constantly shapeshifting and fighting for her life. It's a hypnotic trip with a truly cinematic aesthetic and a lingering aftertaste. And a worthy addition to the previous collabs between Danielle Balbuena (aka 070 Shake) and Noah Lee - the stunning Nice To Have and last year's Skin & Bones.

From what's been released so far, signs are that the third Flyte album, released next month, is going to be very good indeed.The song Tough Love, featuring Laura Marling on vocals with Flyte's Will Taylor and playlisted on 6Music, now has an accompanying live video, courtesy of Mahogany Sessions, with none other than actress Florence Pugh accompanying Taylor in place of the absent Marling, who is not currently doing any public performances.And second single Speech Bubble has a music video co-directed by Taylor and Katie Silvester, with a simple but strong device to reflect the unusual lullaby-like structure of the song: Taylor performs each of its six verses in a different locations in East London (including Hackney Marshes).It's a concept which requires the Flyte frontman to be front and centre throughout, and he rises to the challenge, in spite of some challenging weather conditions. Filmed on a 16mm Bolex, it's lo-fi texture also works well with the acoustic track. Now the latest song from the new album, called Amy, has been released. It's another belter, so hopefully there's a belting video for that coming down the line.

Ben Cole directs a high octane dance performance by singer chi, in a South London gym.The video for Serotonin is a darkly atmospheric showcase for the new artist, with high contrast lighting and playful camerawork. Packed full of high-energy confidence, the video is a great match for the pulsating earworm of a beat. "The video was shot with a window of four hours to capture everything between classes [in the gym]," Cole explains."Malik, the movement director, worked alongside chi ahead of the shoot to perfect the choreography. These rehearsals combined with chi’s insane performance and stamina are what made the timing doable."DoP Sam Hooper’s fluid shooting style helped with the limitations and fast nature of the shoot. Other than the intro, Sam used only natural light. It was all these details that meant the music video was possible."

Ben Brook reunites with No Rome following the video for Brother with another ambitious visual for Elevator Music (OMG) where, appropriately, the camera keeps going upwards.Brook's video is underpinned by a perpetually rising shot which takes us through derelict floors, each subtly tying into Rome’s self-reflection and linking back to themes established in previous video. Then it breaks out into a to-camera performance enhanced with collage-like FX work for the final 'OMG' section.Blended with analogue textures, uncanny NeRF setups and graphic AI experimentation, the video leans into a dystopian, near-future aesthetic, which perfectly suits the concept. "It was inspired by the old Film4 ident which repeated scenes across a similar movement," Brook explains. "It’s always great watching everything come together on the day. It was quite a small space to work within."[Production designers] Set Sisters had such a task re-dressing for all the scenes, and Sonny tweaking and re-lighting to vary across new takes meant there was a lot of moving parts. But we managed to get just enough coverage after dropping a couple more ambitious/time-consuming takes, and we definitely achieved the desired look."
