This introspective video by Hannah Rosselin for the innovative Ichon, released a few months ago, is a characteristically bravura work from the singer/rapper, set in an apartment in the Fauvettes housing project in Paris, a place close to his heart.The video for Page Blanche ponders the idea of the 'blank page', visualised in a poetic and melancholic narrative concept. It features Ichon, sitting in his apartment, arranging white paper in rows - which become his wings, symbolizing both the desire to soar and the central theme of the song.He then encounters his childhood self in the apartment - and as the dreamy tone of the song makes way for a rapid flow of rap, the visuals break from the cinematic approach in the apartment to genuine lo-fi footage from Ichon's youth. The shoot was an opportunity for Ichon to pay tribute to the residents of the Fauvettes housing project by integrating them into the project and sharing moments of life with them. This location, where Ichon was warmly accepted, is teeming with birds, a recurring symbol in his album where he expresses his desire to become a bird.It's still a shocking moment when the little boy version of Ichon leaves the high-rise apartment - via the window. But it is Ichon in his wings who hits the ground - a poignant reference to the film La Haine. The Page Blanche video is thus a blend of emotion, reflection, and gratitude, inviting the viewer to explore the depth of the human soul and the beauty of letting go.

Joel Barney directs a captivating video for Lana Lubany, filmed in Jordan.The first of several visuals shot in the country, the video for Another Year sees Lana thrust into a perpetual, mesmerising fever dream. Navigating a kaleidoscope of surreal scenes scattered through the cityspace, we see the artist transported to a new realm.With bold, vibrant cinematography and dreamy art direction, it's a beautiful piece and a perfect introduction to the London-based Palestinian American musician."The video aims to create a bold, captivating performance piece that subtly tells Lana's story through unique symbolism," Barney explains."Flowers are a recurring motif we decided to use pretty early on in the process, appearing in strange places within the rugged cityscape where they realistically could never grow. The idea being that is symbolizes that beauty will prevail in any circumstance."

Timur Almazov directs an evocative promo for singer B.minor, weaving a tale about love and addiction, tapping into the artist's personal experiences."We wanted to create a music video around this story, with all the visual and performance elements serving to its purpose and building up to the final twist," Almazov explains. "We knew that we had to create a multilayered film with multiple locations, outfits and lighting setups to make the audience stay for the whole show. And given our shoestring budget finding ways to pull this off was perhaps our greatest challenge."Shot in London, the video for Irionara uses the city's overcast skies and bustling atmosphere to bring a sense of understated energy to the performance, which reflects the track's lilting soundscapes."It was also important that we captured b.minor's rich and complex cultural identity that's at the heart of his music," Almazov continues. "By fusing together carefully-choreographed dance sequences with hand-held location scenes and dynamic editing, we sought to bring together K-Pop influences with more Western style aesthetics and produce something as unique as the artist's musical voice."
