Swedish directing team Swim Club direct an alluring homage to 1970s horror movies for DJ Suzy's soulful Wings. DJ Suzy enter a haunted castle, only to confront a darker version of herself lurking within its antique mirrors. The shadows come alive as the malevolent reflection breaks free, initiating a chilling chase through moonlit forests. Shot on 16mm film - with Hawk Anamorphic lenses - the video for Wings has a haunting melancholic vibe throughout, with plenty of visual homages to Italian horror films of the 1970's. Creepy dolls, unsettling reflections and a castle in the middle of the woods, the video captures a vintage aesthetic while DJ Suzy's music becomes the backdrop for a haunting showdown. Not your typical pop vid, but one with plenty of memorable moments.

Zach Joseph directs a "monochromatic meditation on identity" in his promo for young rapper XADI, shot in rural Wales.The video for Black Rock sees XADI wake on a beach, and begin his journey across the surrounding isolated landscape. It presents the artist's rapidfire performance style in this isolated setting of beaches, cliffs, deserted country roads, and it feels unique and introspective in its approach. Enigmatic and brooding, the video boasts a haunting, almost ethereal vibe, which works perfectly with the soundscapes in the track. "Thrown from the bowels of the sea onto a rugged beach lined with cliffs that rise up like great monolithic slabs of rock, XADI awakes; spewing forth salty water before a stream of evolving lyrics; his quest to earn the status as the new 'Black Rock Star’ ahead of him," explains Zach Joseph."Like Sisyphus pushing his rock up the hill, we’re never quite sure when XADI will reach his destination, but as he marches relentlessly onward his lyrics gather momentum and become progressively more impassioned; more intent. That is until the music falls out and XADI stands at the foot of the Black Rock - as if it were the mountain drawing him forth from the sea this whole time."Black Rock is a monochromatic meditation on the quest that one goes on in search of their artistic identity. It’s a story of rebirth. Of a man surrendering himself to the might of nature. For it is the Black Rock that will decide his fate."

Priya Ahluwalia directs a quietly forceful video for Grace Carter's poerfully anthmeic Riot.Carter's poised performance, sitting at a candlelit table, and the red-costumed focus among a white-gowned Bass Note Collective choir, is intercut with everyday scenes and naturalistic portraits of Black Britons at work, at leisure and with family.Felipe Szulc's grade emphasises the distinction with a richly colourful treatment for the performance, and black and white for the documentary element. Grace Carter has written: "This song is about injustice. I’m so proud of what myself and the director Priya Ahluwalia have created. It was important to me that this video wasn’t dark, I wanted it to be uplifting. So much of what we see in the media when it comes to Black people is linked to trauma and suffering but I don’t think that's a fair representation of what being Black really means. It is also about community, unity and lifting each other up."I had the amazing honour of being able to share the screen with Bass Note Collective for this one and I honestly had goosebumps the whole time we shot together. This song is about coming together and collectively using our voices to make a change. The lyrics of this song seem to be made relevant time and time again, we still have a long way to go. I hope this one makes you feel something."

Ryan Jafarzadeh directs an impressive one-take video for No Guidnce's Is It A Crime. Bringing back the nostalgia of 90's R&B groups, the artists perform in an empty car park at night, each getting their own moment to shine in the spotlight.After gaining a following performing cover tracks in a car park, it's a natural progression and a sign of how far they've come, and given it's their debut music video, there is already a lot to be excited about. With some slick cinematography from Rick Joaquim to give it a high-end vibe, and tight direction from Jafarzadeh - who places the boys and their personalities front and centre - it's a great introduction and will no doubt make waves across both their existing fanbase and new fans to come.

Toronto-based singer-songwriter Kēynes - aka Keynes Woods - collaborates with longtime creative partner Farai Dube on the high concept, cinematic video for Low Lows & Ceremonies, reflecting upon the beautiful mess of life.Taken from his just released EP Avant Garden, Farai Dube's music video directing debut is a beautifully-crafted rumination about the highs and lows of love lost, in a vibrant, fun but meaningful way. Shot by award-winning Canadian cinematographer Peter Hadfield, the stylish imagery incorporates elements of misdirection through various set-ups involving Kēynes. It employs a very intentional colour palette, match cuts, quick cuts, vignettes, non-linear and meta-narrative, to tell a story drenched in symbolism, where smoke and fire and the use of forced perspective feature prominently. Supported by production from Merchant Productions in Toronto, Wrack at Wieden + Kennedy London, WeAreCovert on VFX and Electric Theatre Collective on the colour grade, this is a very successful showcase for an intriguing new artist: ambitious, absorbing and thoroughly entertaining.
