Featuring a quick-fire succession of abstract performance vignettes, the video for Tell Me boasts choreographed dance setups, an energetic party and some pensive shots outdoor in nature.

"It came to me when I realised I was finally starting to look out for myself and appreciate myself in many aspects of my life."The video mainly explores multiple identities that relate to me. As an artist I shape-shift a lot, with my visual and musical identity. I just wanted to dress up and explore as many of these as possible."

Camille Summers-Valli directs a fascinating promo for METTE.

It's executed to perfection across every element, but a special shoutout also needs to be made for the cut - editor Vid Price at Trim has done a remarkable job.

Invisible unity that is reflected in interpersonal behaviour. This bond is not subject to external factors, as it is metaphysical, it can never be destroyed, not in distress, not in grief, nor amidst the war."

Charlie Di Placido shows his trademark skill in bringing choreography to the screen in this joyous promo for Jessie Ware. Inspired by Ware’s time in Brazil, the video for Begin Again features Ware as the central figure throughout the concept, as she moves across two polarised spaces embracing shadows and surrounded by dancers.Packed full of energy, the video is terrific showcase for the continued reinvention of Jessie Ware as a great singer having fun with the concept of being a proper diva, in an invigorating and unique way. "I’m a massive fan of Jessie's music and this album feels like a seminal musical moment for her - so this was real privilege of a project to work on," says Di Placido - a recent guest on The Promonews Podcast. "Her work ethic and personality really shone through during rehearsals and she was a joy to work with and so generous with her dancers."The video for Jessie Ware comes at a hugely busy time for Di Placido, who has been directing videos for the new Everything But The Girl album, as well as continuing his long association with Jungle, co-directing videos with the band's J Lloyd for their new visual album project."Dance is at the centre of everything I do as a director and a huge part of my day-to-day working life," he continues. "The infectious energy and creative boundary-pushing my dancers and choreographers bring to my projects is an endless source of inspiration. This was no different and working closely with Olivier Casamayou from I COULD NEVER BE A DANCER, we found a performance that was both true to Jessie and the uplifting feeling of the music."Pete Bishop is an exciting young cinematographer I hold in high esteem and I love the look he achieved for the video, topped off by another stunning grade from my colourist Alex Gregory of No.8 London.”
