Mentis
"Excuses (ft. Kate Wild)" |
|
2 mins 51s
27 Jul 2021 |
|
 |
|
Misfits actress Lauren Socha stars in this intriguing promo for Mentis's latest track 'Excuses'. Taking centre stage as a DJ with ambitions above her circumstances, Socha brings a down-to-earth quality to a role which could otherwise read as sheer parody: an entertainer confined to playing weddings and children's parties, forever dreaming of a coveted gig in Ibiza.

Mabel
"Take It Home" |
|
3 mins 21s
22 Jul 2021 |
|
 |
|
Pokémon fans know that a performance by Jigglypuff usually spells disaster, or at least a bad case of narcolepsy. There's no such threat in this curious Mabel promo, as the CG balloon beast remains conspicuously silent throughout. Perhaps it was intimidated by Mabel's Brit Award for British Female Solo Artist.

Polo & Pan
"Tunnel (ft. Channel Tres)" |
|
3 mins 38s
21 Jul 2021 |
|
 |
|
Electric birds, blue-skinned humanoids, and retro-futuristic technology abound in a charming promo for Polo & Pan's 'Tunnel'. As the French electronic duo's assured groove unfolds, compatriots Zite & Leo whisk viewers across the galaxy thanks to a cosmic lift attendant. Think 'Forbidden Planet' meets 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'.

3 mins 53s
16 Jul 2021 |
|
 |
|
The sleazy spirit of the 70s comes crashing into the 21st Century in this erotically-charged promo for Maneskin. The Italian Eurovision winners prove they're no flash in the pan with 'I Wanna Be Your Slave', which showcases their signature musical style as it blends rap, hard rock guitar, and funk-influenced beats.

Iron Maiden
"The Writing on the Wall" |
|
7 mins 24s
15 Jul 2021 |
|
 |
|
This epic animated promo for Iron Maiden's latest track 'The Writing on the Wall' combines biblical allegory with a party at the end of the world. Director (and longtime metalhead) Nicos Livesey helms the almost seven-and-a-half minute film, which brings fresh appeal to the long established hand-drawn vibe of Maiden's album art.

Jason Derulo
"Jalebi Baby (feat. Tesher)" |
|
3 mins 33s
15 Jul 2021 |
|
 |
|
Jason Derulo may be known mainly for announcing himself at the beginning of each and every song he puts out (and doesn't disappoint here), but this fun promo for 'Jalebi Baby' has more to offer than just meme potential. The track features Indian-Canadian singer Tesher, whose vocals offer a steadying base to Derulo's flashier trills.

Mansur Brown
"My Prayer" |
|
6 mins 40s
14 Jul 2021 |
|
 |
|
Impressive VFX work enhances this atmospheric promo for Mansur Brown's latest track 'My Prayer'. Brown leads a cast of characters through their exploration of a nocturnal urban setting, as the group are compelled by a mysterious light which seems to contain a nebula of stars.

Fredo
"Wandsworth To Bullingdon" |
|
2 mins 31s
12 Jul 2021 |
|
 |
|
Claustrophobia reigns supreme in this atmospheric promo for Fredo's latest track 'Wandsworth to Bullingdon'. The film is set behind bars - as one might expect for a track whose title references two prisons - and channels the likes of David Mackenzie's 2014 feature 'Starred Up' as violence, tension, and tight angles bring their own layer of menace to proceedings.

Rag'n'Bone Man
"Alone" |
|
4 mins 35s
13 Jul 2021 |
|
 |
|
Part performance and part drama, this visually arresting promo by director Joe Connor is one of those which recognises that the song is the thing. Shot in black and white, Connor's camera constantly focuses our attention on Rag'n'Bone Man and sensibly allows the singer to hold centre stage. The setting affords the opportunity to be playful with light and shadow and this augments the performance to such an extent that the little dramatic interludes probably aren't necessary.

Hayden Thorpe
"The Universe Is Always Right" |
|
4 mins 30s
9 Jul 2021 |
|
 |
|
This bucolic promo sees former Wild Beasts frontman Hayden Thorpe reborn in the Lake District. Found unconscious in the woods by a girl and her family, Thorpe is taken to their farm to recuperate. Once he discovers a fetching white suit in the attic, the cast fully embrace what they have in the Cumbrian countryside.

Charlotte Dos Santos
"Away From You" |
|
3 mins 27s
7 Jul 2021 |
|
 |
|
Brazilian-Norwegian artist Charlotte Dos Santos offers a serviceable slice of R&B in the form of 'Away With You'. The mid-paced outing never fizzes like you'd expect it to, and grants only mild escapism as a consequence. More successful is the track's promo, which invites viewers into a moody underground club with a dancefloor-cum-paddling pool.

Lolo Zouaï
"Galipette" |
|
2 mins 10s
7 Jul 2021 |
|
 |
|
French-American pop singer Lolo Zouai is ready to take on the world with latest single Galipette. The track's beat-driven, confrontational sound is complemented by a similarly forthright promo from director Amber Grace Johnson, which pulls no punches (pun intended) as Zouai rolls with a crew of gangsters, performs with the UCLA Women's Gymnastics team, and participates in an underwater boxing match.

Russ Millions
"Big Shark" |
|
3 mins 16s
6 Jul 2021 |
|
 |
|
Lewisham-born rapper Russ Millions's new track pulls from Yoruba, Spanish, Arabic and English to vivid effect. Terms like 'jinn', 'kinoshele', and 'mamacita' are peppered throughout 'Big Shark', with a beefy, exotic drill beat for good measure. As for the loaded promo, director Dir. LX takes some of the genre's familiar imagery and adds a refreshing pop of colour.

American DJ and former post-hardcore singer Skrillex returns to the pop scene with house-influenced track 'Butterflies'. The accompanying promo is thrumming with repressed energy, as director Ben Strebel depicts a group of mates taking to city streets with ghostly intent. Music fans and dance enthusiasts alike will find plenty to appreciate throughout this crisply-executed promo.

|
 |
|
The latest music video set entirely/partially inside a supermarket arrives courtesy of singer-songwriter Jack Savoretti and director Calum Macdiarmid. Like Gwen Stefani, Travis, and the Mavericks, et al. before them, the duo make a beeline for the trolley stand. What follows is a likeable, unpretentious rollabout, with Savoretti unfazed by checkout operators, boy racers, or city traffic.

Emily Burns
"I'm So Happy" |

28 Jun 2021 |
|
 |
|
This therapeutic Emma Burns promo is a swing and a hit, so to speak. Filmed by director Josh Thornton-Allan, the Livingston-born artist switches between a baseball bat and a golf club to destroy various mementos and keepsakes by the sea. So long as she cleans up all the broken shards of glass and china, have at it!

'The Matrix' meets Black Mirror in this intriguing promo for Bastille's latest single 'Distorted Light Beam'. The London quartet dive into a dystopic future in which humans can experience multiple realities via a sinister neural implant, as witnessed by a single engineer (His Dark Materials actor Remmie Milner) who understands the grim state of the physical world around them.

Style marries substance in this eye-catching video for Joy Crookes' 'Feet Don't Fail Me Now'. The South London singer embraces her Bangladeshi roots in the promo, rocking delicately-styled saris alongside a squad of friends while posing on a motorbike wreathed with flower garlands.

The Vaccines
"Headphones Baby" |
|
3 mins 18s
23 Jun 2021 |
|
 |
|
Life in a band called The Vaccines must be a mixed bag right now. On the one hand, 2021 marks the tenth anniversary of your best-selling debut album. On the other hand, anti-vaxxers hate your guts. Swings and roundabouts, eh? There is a definite sense of escapism to the group's new single, as frontman Justin Young insists "I wanna live inside a world, wherever you are."

Raye

|

18 Jun 2021 |
|
 |
|
Old-school glamour enters the 21st Century in this arresting promo for RAYE's 'Call On Me'. Director Sophia Ray captures the soft-focus look of classic musicals throughout the glitzy film, as RAYE and co. model outfits appropriately bedecked with fur, feathers, and rhinestones galore. Diamonds are, it seems, still a girl's best friend in 2021.

Bloom Twins
"High On Beat" |
|
3 mins 34s
17 Jun 2021 |
|
 |
|
This sleek promo for the Bloom Twins' 'High On Beat' blends trippy visuals with a fashion-forward attitude. Director Francis Wallis and cinematographer Ahmet Hüsseyin use offbeat camera angles and washes of neon light to keep the viewer constantly on the back foot, never knowing what to expect from the intriguing visuals.

Brother Leo
"People" |
|
3 mins 28s
11 Jun 2021 |
|
 |
|
Many artists have offered up modern interpretations of the Bible over the years, though none with quite such a glossy Hollywood sheen as this promo from Brother Leo. 'People' sees Jesus Christ cast as a fallen icon, a former celebrity trying to come to terms with the corruption of his image in a fame-obsessed world.

Greentea Peng
"Free My People" |
|
3 mins 45s
10 Jun 2021 |
|
 |
|
This hypnotic promo from neo-soul singer Greentea Peng arrives on the scene at an apt moment. With lockdowns ending and vaccines bringing isolation across Britain to a close, 'Free My People' seems set to be a laid-back anthem of summer liberation. That hazy atmosphere is beautifully rendered by director Melody Maker, who explores small moments of humanity throughout the film.

Zoe Wees
"Hold Me Like You Used To" |
|
3 mins 12s
10 Jun 2021 |
|
 |
|
This emotionally-charged promo from director Gemma Yin is a colourful exploration of grief and acceptance. As German pop star Zoe Wees sings "Now you're taken from this world/I hope you can finally breathe", Yin cuts between black-and-white and a heightened amber hue. Crucially, none of this dilutes Wees's powerful vocals.

Cautious Clay
"Wildfire" |
|
2 mins 50s
9 Jun 2021 |
|
 |
|
Audience perspective takes centre stage in this promo for Cautious Clay's 'Wildfire'. The film invokes an old-school vibe as it explores how listeners' circumstances affect their interpretation of the American R&B artist's melancholy yet melodious tones - adding weight to the old adage that beauty (or pain) is truly in the eye of the beholder.
