Baptiste Penetticobra directs an impassioned, offbeat promo for French-Congolese singer Tshegue. The video for Plus De Place Nulle Part sees the artist in a car at night, with three teenagers in the back seat. As the music starts to play, the energy begins to ramp up, until they are all possessed by the track and thrashing around dancing. It's a curious, brilliantly executed concept, which feels like it could delve into found footage horror at any time (which is the magic of the abyss-like location, and the lack of any context to the car's whereabouts). "Something I used to do when I was a pre-teen was go sit in my parent's car, parked in the garage of our suburban house, and blast a song at full volume," explains Penetticobra. "I specifically remember doing this with 'MUSIC' by Madonna. First, because the sound system in the Citroën Xsara Picasso wasn’t too bad, and second, because the inside of the car felt like a kind of “bubble”; a physically and sonically isolated space, outside of time. It was an experience in itself."I have vivid memories of those moments. Not long ago, I came across a TikTok showing a father and his two kids singing Queen inside their car, filmed from afar by his wife. That’s exactly what I used to do."

Sal Redpath directs a riotous promo for Birmingham indie band Overpass. The video for Take It Or Leave It explores an inner dialogue of trying to contain emotions, then regretting an outburst. This is characterised by a red liminal surrealist room that is trashed then rebuilt continuously.Frantic camera movement and heavy textural overlays give the video a raw, DIY feel, whilst also harking back to early Noughties aesthetics. Tied together with a breathless edit, it's a rip-roaring good time and a great match to the track.

Micha Akchoti directs a stirring promo for Timothée Joly, filming the French artist at locations in Europe associated with authoritarian regimes in the 20th century.The video for Oxygène Pur explores freedom in the context of people's own lives, jobs and relationships, visualised through breathtaking environments and creative cinematography. The monochromatic aesthetic, paired with the quick-cut edit and riotous track create an alluring yet disruptive energy which perfectly reflects the theme of the lyrics. "At a time where fascism and authoritarian tendencies are strongly rising again in Europe and everywhere in the world, a lot of people feel the need of freedom and space in a wider sense," says Akchoti. "Therefore, we use this song as an hymn to freedom and express the metaphor politically by shooting the artist only in front of buildings which were made under Italian fascism in Rome, or the Communist occupation in East Berlin."The contrast of the artist stuck and contrived in the frames under the weight of this architecture and past with this black and white propaganda aesthetic, singing about his need to free himself and breathe pure oxygen, says a lot about the current state of the world in my point of view."
