Nizar Shad directs an upbeat promo for Prinz, Rushwan and Jermaine Edwards.The story of Beautiful Day starts back in 2014, when singer-songwriter Edwards debuted the track in Jamaica. In 2017, ten-year-old Rushawn Ewears was captured singing it by his teacher at school, and after being shared on social media over the next few years, it has recently gained huge popularity on TikTok, leading to this collaboration. The magical journey of the track is complimented by a cheery, optimistic video, which features Prinz performing in and around a church, intercut with footage of Ewears' original school video. Bright and optimistic, it's a great little project that exudes a joyous energy.

Alice Kong creates a world in miniature form, in this wonderful animated promo for Hot Chip. Unable to catch a break, we are introduced to the namesake of the track, Eleanor, as she goes about her day-to-day routine, before finally awakening to the fact that she can create her own destiny.Painstakingly animated in claymation form, the video has a charming, bold aesthetic, which gets brighter and more vibrant as the concept unfolds - and eventually takes an unexpected turn."Building this miniature world for Hot Chip was a brilliant creative challenge," Kong says. "The music video tells the tale of our main character, Eleanor who, after a series of unfortunate events, hits a pole in front of an eye glass shop that will… Open her eyes! She then takes control of her environment and twists everything to her advantage by literally sculpting the clay world she lives in."By hand-picking every detail from a brick’s colour to a poster on a wall we were able to sneak in some Easter eggs, which I hope the viewers will have fun spotting!"

Dance producer and cancer patient Cade Margus self-directs an experimental promo for his dance track It Was You. The video cuts between Margus producing the track - showing his process, playing instruments and rocking out to the beat, while apparently under the influence of medical marijuana - and a simultaneous dance setup, with three dancers on a rocky coastline, dancing in an unabashed, freeing manner. "I’m a working filmmaker and new electronic producer currently pursuing my masters at Berklee College of Music," explains Cade Margus, who explains that the video was inspired by his own experience creating the track."I recently produced (It Was You) after eating too much medical weed during chemo treatment for late-stage colon cancer - and I directed this music video about that bizarre experience. I’m hoping people find the story humorously relatable, in spite of a serious situation. It feels quite polished for such a small budget."It does indeed. Optimistic and emotional, the video is a real rollercoaster, and reflects the ups and downs of Margus' journey, and it is terrificually well edited, syncopated beautifully to the beats of the track. And it ends on a slightly surreal but ultimately playful note.

Despite his intentions, however, it’s never that easy….Strikingly emotional, the video is beautiful, brutal, heartbreaking, but eventually optimistic - and a true tour de force from two masters of their craft.

A young girl takes her first step from childhood into adulthood, in Vincent René-Lortie's affecting promo for Simon Leoza. The video for La Nuée opens with a series of static shots documenting the broken home the family live in, and swiftly jumps into a simple yet engaging narrative. Deciding to flee her abusive father, the girl - played by Eve Dupuis - traverses a seemingly endless landscape with her newborn sister in tow. When her father finds and confronts her, he is faced with an unexpected challenge that makes him rethink every decision that has lead to that moment. Beautifully captured by DoP Alexandre Nour, the aesthetic blurs the lines between art and reality, feeling incredibly authentic whilst allowing the creative to touch upon fantastical, otherworldly elements."With this concept, I attempted to explore the very unique emotion of becoming responsible for your newborn sibling when you yourself are a child," explains René-Lortie, who co-directed the UKMVA-winning video for Sheenah Ko's Wrap Me Up. "I needed to frame this moment in time in a very singular and poetic way, letting the music and theme breathe simplistically while allowing us to keep touch with the fantastical magic of a young mind."
