Directing duo Folkert Verdoorn and Simon Becks direct a feat of cinematic era-twisting and genre-bending absurdity for Dutch R&B/hiphop artist Cero Ismael. Verdoorn and Becks have set their video for Driving Round Looking For Unknown in an alternate reality, appearing to be in a war-torn town in Napoleonic times, with touches of futuristic tech. In this gritty world, Ismael is portrayed as a disfigured unfortunate, dragged along by a carriage through the streets - but which is pulled by drones, which throws the setting into the realm of a steampunk sci-fi reality.The result is both playful and thought-provoking as we follow Cero's uncertain progress through this textured, gritty yet anachronistic, sci-fi tinged world. It's a breathtaking introduction to the fertile imagination of Verdoorn and Becks - and attention-grabbing vehicle for Ismael."At its heart is the idea of alienation - a monster, like an artist, often feels out of place," the directors explain. "Turning the artist into a monster felt like the perfect way to explore this theme of not belonging.""We leaned into the absurdity, playing with humour and contrast, because why not? When we joke around, we inevitably end up with some ridiculous peepee and poopoo moments. It might not be highbrow, but it’s us, and it works."This video is our way of asking: what does it mean to belong? And what happens when you feel like you don’t? The answers aren’t simple, but we believe the journey should be as playful as it is profound."

Troy Roscoe takes UK trio Flo and US rapper GloRilla on a spectacular adventure at a masquerade party in the high concept, hugely entertaining promo for In My Bag.With an ambitious narrative with plenty of the glossy performance setups, the video sees the girls from Flo attend a party of Atlanta high rollers - and proceed to make some audacious moves to steal from their fellow guests whilst also performing a series of stunning setpieces for this very catchy old school R&B track.When GloRilla makes her appearance, she turns out to be the girls' accomplice in their heist, to gain their final prize and make their getaway - before there's a jawdropping final twist.It's a brilliant action-packed ride, which also marks a full-circle moment for Troy Roscoe, who has worked with both artists previously on separate projects. "The whole process for In My Bag was an incredible experience," he explains. "From the start, the concept was ambitious - honestly, it could have easily been spread out over a few days instead of crammed into basically one."Working with four super talented women who each brought their own energy and varied expectations was a challenge, but in the best way. Despite the demands and tight schedule, the end result was amazing, proving that pushing through those hurdles really paid off."Shooting with Flo is always a dream as they’re electric on-camera and their charisma is effortless, making my job easier as every single take looks amazing. Super happy with the turnout and excited to delve into more narrative-themed pieces."

Jordan Hemingway continues the campaign for FKA twigs' new album Eusexua with a sleek parade of breathtaking vignettes for Perfect Stranger. The video features a variety of shifting scenarios, as Twigs embodies an amalgam of distinctive characters, that collectively embody the concept at sexual fluidity and exploration at the heart of the record. From futuristic performance situations to abstract displays of family life, each setup is conceptual art brought to life, a moving portrait of emotion and connection - and flights of sexual fantasy realised with crystaline execution via Hemingway's eye and twigs' performance. Like a lovechild of Kylie's Confide In Me, Noughties print advertising and Hemingway's own photography work, the visual is a feat, and helps build the already palpable excitement for the new twigs album.

Abdi Ibrahim directs a stylish promo for Sasha Keable’s latest single, featuring 6lack.The video for Take Your Time is a scorching, sweaty affair, taking place in an apartment where Keable tries to cool off. Focusing on portraiture and atmosphere, the video features a cast of supporting characters, who all try and get on with their activites - some quite suspicious - in spite of the fearsome heat. An unexpected yet decidedly fitting visual accompaniment to the track, featuring plenty of striking imagery.
