Jared Hogan directs an enigmatic album trailer for Rich Brian's third album Where Is My Head?, giving viewers an insight into what is to come from the whole video campaign. Shot in Bangkok, in close collaboration with Indochina Productions, the video world is a dark Truman Show-esque compound, where Maestro Brian overlooks his empire. A marriage of digital and organic vignettes set the scene for the visual, with glimpses of a haunting, dystopian underworld contrasted by dreamy, lingering narrative. It's a beautiful, evocative vision and a captivating look at what lies ahead.

Reality and fantasy collide in Lucrecia's dazzling promo for JADE. FUFN continues JADE's conceptual narrative for this era - exploring the darker side of fame through irreverent, offbeat imagery and intimate storytelling. We see JADE with her on-screen partner, attending the Nick Grimshaw-hosted premiere of a film she is in, building layers of different characterisations whilst paying homage to her previous iterations. With a heavily surreal vibe, the video features an audience with their faces twisted in evil grins (reminiscent of Philipp Stölzl's 2003 video for Evanescence's Going Under) and stunning visual effects throughout. It's a blockbuster epic and a very welcome return to music videos for Lucrecia, who has been a pioneering creative in presenting the darker impulses of pop stars, from Ashnikko to Bree Runway.And could a superhero film be on the cards for JADE in the near future? Given the breadth of characters she's played in her debut era, it wouldn't be a far stretch to suggest so.

Candice Lo directs an impassioned performance by Griff, taking its inspirational cue from the songtitle. And things are going to get messy.The video for Last Night's Mascara begins with Griff in white, in an all-white space. But the first smudge of black indicates what is coming, as Lo orchestrates the addition of streaks of 'last night's mascara' through the pop singer's choreographed performance. She mars the white space and her own clothing with handprints and stains, as the ever-flowing mascara acts as a cathartic release, leading to an artistic portrayal of grief. A captivating concept anchored by the artist's commitment to the performance, and Lo's inspired direction.

Creative collective Maschima direct an out-of-this-world epic for legendary outfit Tears For Fears' latest album. Consisting of four tracks from Songs From A Nervous Planet, the video follows an interconnected narrative exploring dreams, memories, space travel and the planet we inhabit. Across the four songs Maschina contrast the beauty of the natural Earthbound world - represented by a young woman in sun-dappled California, on a beach, among sunflowers, captured in warmly glowing film footage - with the crisp, VFX-fired wonder and beauty of space exploration.In the third and fourth songs, the two elements come together: the Astronaut (the title of the second song) crashes back to Earth. Then the woman, her growing son and the wandering space traveller finally encounter each other. As a collective, Maschima encompass a range of visual skillsets, and they are on full display here. Spanning animation, live action, graphic design and more, it's a momentous achievement and a truly international effort. And the music is pretty damn great too: Tears For Fears' Roland Orzabal is still capable of writing big Beatles-esque pop tunes."We've all been fans of Tears For Fears since we were kids," explain Maschima. "This video series gave us the opportunity to craft a cinematic story that unfolded over four episodes - like creating a miniature TV show. Writing and building the narrative as we went, all while collaborating with an artist we deeply admire."The directing team describe themselves as 'an international art collective' with a shifting membership and . "We have known each other for ages, working in secret, building worlds under countless names and aliases - for projects both mainstream and underground," they continue. "Individually, we direct, shoot, edit, paint, compose, sculpt, build, destroy, and rebuild. Together, we are a multi-limbed beast with many brains but one mind."One of the members connected to Dilly Gent, working as creative director and commmissioner for Tears For Fears on the Songs From A Nervous Planet visuals."As longtime fans, we knew this was the perfect moment to finally come together - a filmmaking Voltron, fully assembled."
