For the first single from multi-hyphenate artist and rapper Kojey Radical after a three-year hiatus, Relta directs a compelling video capturing his performance and how it radiates through a series of connected rooms.The video for Rule One unfolds in a kinetic style, beginning as Kojey performs as he exercises vigourously on a running machine, then visually panning through adjoining&nbsp;rooms - a group of girls' listening to the music on headphones, his collaborators Bawo and Swindle relaxing with friends.Each flicker between different rooms exploring the power of focus and dedication in life, the viewer gets the sense they are on the journey with Kojey through his mind and lyrics and he lays out his rules for life."I’ve admired Kojey’s work for almost 10 years now - longer than I’ve been directing," says Relta. "So I suppose it makes sense that I placed a lot of importance on this project. Thankfully I had the most wonderful team around me who made my somewhat ambitious creative come to life."We built three adjoining sets, each with their own tones and emotional weight. The song felt militant and authoritative to me, and being Kojey’s first release in several years, I was keen to have his performance shots feel just as impactful, seeing him training in a surreal space &amp; powering the surrounding rooms."I also loved the way Kojey paid homage in the song and we managed to sprinkle in a couple more nods in the video, as well as seeing the next generation taking notes themselves. The entire video was shot in an intense three hour window and looking back it’s all a bit of a blur, but I couldn’t be happier with how it came together."

John Wick meets the 9-5 slog in Relta's rousing promo for Jessie Reyez.&nbsp;The video for New York Baby boasts a clash of nostalgic, office-core aesthetics and action film mayhem, building to a bloody, visceral climax.&nbsp;Tied together by a rather breezy, anachronistic performance setup (complete with vintage Macs on plinths), it's a captivating, heart-pounding visual with plenty of standout moments.&nbsp;

NODE directs a striking promo for Berlin-based experimental pop artist Gabriel Gifford.The video for Barking Dogs Seldom Bite was&nbsp;shot at Hackney’s Moth Club, and draws inspiration from a 'cult-like' experience Gabriel had at a local spiritualist church with his father, months before his suicide. A surreal experience that seemed to reflect the nuance and eccentricity of community, mental health, and the supernatural.&nbsp;The video explores these themes through&nbsp;a contemporary lens, with the cast of Seirian Griffiths, Caterina Danzico, Genevieve Reeves, and Tia May Hockey each performing iterations of their ‘dog’ - a physical manifestation of the characters' individual demons and trauma.Building to an electric finale, the focus on raw movement and primal instinct erupts in a strobe-lit montage, cut in a hyperactive and chaotic way.&nbsp;Impressive work with an electric energy.&nbsp;

As Jessie Reyez gets together with&nbsp;Lil Wayne to candidly celebrate the pleasures of sex, Relta keeps things sweet, slick and wholesome in the impressive video.Continuing a prolific run this year that's included videos for Ray Blk and Baobei, the British-Persian director steps it up for the Canadian singer/rapper's sizzling RIDIN, creating a good humoured fantasy where both Jessie and Wayne radiate warmth amid the lyrical raunchiness.From a bedroom space where she sits in her underwear, Jessie rises above her bed, into Toronto skyline, while an earthbound version of herself crashes into Lil Wayne's pad, to introduce his contribution. Relta also reflects the intimacy of the song, with tracking close-up shots over glowing skin, craftily intercut with the performance.&nbsp;A fine execution of a playful pop video that gets the best out of both artists - and a big step forward for Relta.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]&nbsp;

Relta directs a stirring one-take performance for Ray BLK.&nbsp;The video for Courage captures&nbsp;a performance that articulates the artist's experiences with an abusive ex-partner.Inside an intimate theatre setting, the performance moves to reveal an abstract, minimalist set, where Ray and a male character interact and recreate the fraught dynamic she references in the lyrics, before returning to the first space after a climactic confrontation.&nbsp;It's a tight, focussed video that is full of inspired visual elements, and perfectly represents the emotional journey of the track.

Luigi Calabrese directs a murderous love story for LA-based singer-songwriter Cate Tomlinson.The video for Half Lover is&nbsp;an ode to 80's slashers, complete with blood, violence and low budget&nbsp;aesthetic.&nbsp;It starts like every good horror film - at a cabin in the middle of the woods, far away from civilisation and the emergency services. Diving full-throttle into a conceptual horror storyline, the video has the same unabashed sense of fun as slasher films of the era, elevated with filmic cinematography and an inspired revenge storyline.Intercut with a high-energy performance section, it's a brilliant visual that will leave viewers feeling like they picked up a VHS at their local Blockbuster.&nbsp;Ah, the good old days...
