David Dennison pays homage to silent cinema in his promo for Ted Hajnasiewicz's Just For Show. Sat in the middle of a snowy field, we see Hajnasiewicz perform to camera whilst a narrative unravels around him. Utilising early-Hollywood style title cards and lo-fi black and white colour grading, the video is a great match to the track.

Rocks Foe has released this intense, politically charged video for his defiant track, Law directed by Quba Tuakli.It's an unsettling, compelling vision, as those usually excluded from the establishment take the law into their own hands on a West London estate, and a gang, featuring tar-spewing members, target a police officer for their strange rituals. When they do manage to capture the cop, they subject him to the same tar-like substance they've been using themselves...

Director Malia James has gone back to her rock roots with Catfish and the Bottlemen, for this rough-and-ready performance video for their single Soundcheck. It's a fittingly gritty, monochromatic video shot in a warehouse, with deep blacks and pronounced contrast - providing the perfect look and feel for high energy rock n' roll.

Newcomer Benn Veasey has directed this twisted take on the classic rap video, playing with the themes of power, struggle and control in a surprising way.It sees London rapper CD Spinz strutting down a residential street in London before getting in over his head by creating a demon out of a stranger on the street. It's a bizarre and engaging clip, especially when the woman-turned-demon runs away, turns on him, gets him in a headlock, takes his life and steals his rapping skills. And its nicely shot by Doug Walshe.

Ryan Hope has delivered this hugely stylish, impeccably-shot monochrome video for Zayn Malik's It's You, a clip whose strength lies in its crestfallen atmosphere and meditative pacing. Taking place a stylish LA celebrity home, Zayn's quiet ode is artfully brought to life through simple, considered imagery; Zayn looking out at the unattainable girl of his dreams as she steps in the pool or the flutter of her long gown as she walks to her car. The game of the unrequited lovers' two-sided, secretive contemplation is rendered all the more compelling through its brooding, deliberate visual qualities.

Liverpool singer Louis Berry has released this video for his track .45, a high energy promo directed by Finn Keenan which integrates found footage and sped-up street photography style sequences, tied together with flashes of Berry's engaging performance. Mostly shot in black and white, the video is stylised, raw, high octane and beautiful, exploring the activities that give people strength, help them escape and makes them feel good about themselves. With characters ranging from the mundane to the strange, the video's fast paced imagery perfectly matches the track's frenetic acoustic rhythm, resulting in a clip that is completely rock & roll.
