Free My People

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.

It's the little things, after all, which have kept us connected in our isolation. Cups of tea, cigarettes - minor rituals which give our lives purpose despite their simplicity. The film gives them all a psychedelic sheen, shots shifting through kaleidoscopic colours and tinged at the edges with the fuzz of a fond memory. Lovers of retro vibes and long summer days will be riveted.
