Andreas Nilsson makes a rare return to music videos with a characteristically weird and wonderful storyline for the first release from British rock band White Lies' forthcoming new album, Night Light.It's fifteen years or more since Nilsson was directing and creative directing for Fever Ray, ten-plus years since his acclaimed, off-the-wall videos for 2Chainz and Miike Snow. He has gone on to be a highly decorated commercials director, the winner of prety much every prize in adland for his memorable work for the likes of&nbsp;Apple, Old Spice, Uber Eats, Andrex, and Virgin Media. Now he's back in pop vids, with a Bangkok-set tale of heavy smoking and unusual dancing by a reanimated near-nude man.For the video for In The Middle, Nilsson leans heavily into intense&nbsp;atmosphere of the setting, the suffocating effect on the viewer of watching his cast of characters relentlessly puffing away on cigarettes, and the casting of actors who wear their richly lived lives with them on screen. That leaves room for the main dancer character to take centre stage for his climactic performance - and a remarkable party trick.A beatufully produced and directed piece for White Lies by a master director, delivering a surreal story with a straight face.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;&nbsp;

White Lies 'In The Middle' by Andreas Nilsson

White-Lies-'In-The-Middle'-by-Andreas-Nilsson

Femi Ladi crafts a late-night fever dream drenched in rhythm and heat in a pulsating and ultimately dramatic visual&nbsp;for Leigh-Anne.The video for dancehall-influenced Been a Minute opens in a packed after-hours basement. The air is thick with heat, sweat&nbsp;and anticipation - a&nbsp;sea of bodies moves in perfect, chaotic sync at the best party on Carnival weekend.Femi Ladi brings this energy to life on screen by using a variety of stylistic camera techniques and setups to fully immerse the viewer in the moment. The aesthetic is encapsulated in the gorgeous glow of Stefan Yap's cinematography and Vlad Barin's grade that captures the sense of unbridled passion and&nbsp;intense heat&nbsp;in the movement&nbsp;of Leigh-Anne and her friends.&nbsp;And then comes the curveball, when a visual dominated by dance adds an edge of drama and mystery: Leigh-Anne's focus is disturbed by a passing female in red, starting a party of her own in the next room - who&nbsp;turns out to be her own&nbsp;alter-ego.It's an intriguing way to end the first release&nbsp;from this new chapter of Leigh-Anne's career. Can we expect a sequel?

Dora Paphides creates a steamily irresistible club atmosphere for US singer Justine Skye’s collab with producer Kaytranada in her most impressive video yet.&nbsp;The New York-shot promo for Oh Lala&nbsp;&nbsp;is a riveting showcase for Justine where she performs impressively amidst a sea of writhing bodies.&nbsp;"We looked a lot at Gaspar Noé, Paris Is Burning, Suspiria (just a touch), and the 2024 Vogue Italia Steve Meisel cover for this video," says Dora. "We wanted the club to feel like its own universe. Once the doors close, nothing else exists. It’s seductive, surreal, and totally immersive - almost like the club becomes a character in itself."Justine was incredible to work with: a visionary and a true collaborator. Every move she made on camera was magnetic—honestly, a dream artist." &nbsp;

Alexandre Do directs a reflective promo for rapper Jianbo, which follows an old man, whose memories of his late wife keep him going.&nbsp;From the man's daily routine as a busy cook through to dreaming about a jazz club he and his late wife used to frequent, the video for Exhale (Point Hill) blends narrative, performance and dance to create something singular and perfectly suited to the track. &nbsp; &nbsp;Beautifully shot and conceptualised,&nbsp;it's a touching story brought to life masterfully by Alexandre Do and team.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]"Hearing Exhale for the first time, I knew right away it was special," says the director.&nbsp;"From this moment it wasn’t just about making a cool video, it was about making a beautiful piece of film."The song’s dedicated to Jianbo’s late friend Dom, whose guitar is sampled throughout. I wanted to stay true to that emotional core, so I kept writing until I hit something personal, pulling from my own family, my partner, a memory of seeing a picture of my dad and his friends fresh from Cambodia in the ’70s wearing flared pants. When I first wrote it, I kept thinking of Up’s opening montage and Michael Haneke’s Amour."This film is really about grief, longing, and those moments when you wish you could see someone you love one last time. Jianbo really showed up: learning the dance routine, pushing himself emotionally, and bringing out a side of himself we hadn’t seen in his past videos."

Harv Frost directs a thought-provoking promo for New York rock band&nbsp;Sunflower Bean, addressing a song about the complex aftermath of trauma.The video for&nbsp;There's A Part I Can't Get Back sees the band members in vintage blue-hued vignettes, performing and working together to push a statue across a church, from the darkness back into the light. Its a symbolic action that reflects the powerful sentiments of the song.A powerful visual,&nbsp;which steadily builds&nbsp;to a beautifully cathartic, healing moment.&nbsp;The triumphant efforts of the group represent&nbsp;their solidarity,&nbsp;supporting one another through disorientation and recovery.&nbsp;“This song is about the lasting scars of grooming - the parts of yourself that are stolen and the anger you carry because of it,” explains frontwoman Julia Cumming. “I didn’t want to write a song about being healed, I wanted to be angry about needing to heal at all.”

Harv Frost directs an absorbing girl-meets-girl promo for Manchester rock band Picture Parlour, where vocalist Katherine Parlour makes a play for the girl of her dreams - bandmate Ella Risi - at a Northern Soul club.Taking place at the fictitious venue&nbsp;The Parlour, the video for Who’s There To Love Without You?&nbsp;is an atmospheric ode to youth and finding yourself, and all the strangers and adventures along&nbsp;the way.Intimate, in-your-face camerawork by DoP Adam Singodia and a breathless edit&nbsp;by Geri Docherty&nbsp;help to build the energy and suspense, as Katherine finds her initial advances to the club's DJ (played by Ella)&nbsp;rebuffed.Frost's skill with dramatising the world of the bandmates and their characterisation grounds the fantasy in a recognisable - if brilliantly heightened - reality. And she&nbsp;provides this&nbsp;sapphic and sensual tale with an explosive finale...Katherine knuckles down&nbsp;to the cause, eventually leading to a return to the Northern Soul&nbsp;night at The Parlour - and a steamy bathroom stall hook-up.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

In Alexandre Do's video Jianbo and Skydaddy spend the day like you'd expect from two aristocrats from the 18th Century: getting their portrait painted, hunting game and arguing about which country to colonize next.Filmed at Shuttleworth House in Bedfordshire, Alexandre Do stresses the juxtaposition between the grand, period setting and the message in Cradle 2 The Sky, bringing the two together via the classically-influenced music track behind Jianbo's rap performance - with Skydaddy backing up on guitar.&nbsp;"What ultimately inspired this video was that grindset culture that many of us adopt," says Do.&nbsp;"The idea that we can't possibly succeed in this day and age without grinding 24/7 towards a goal that constantly shifts further and further away. [Where] 'making it" is an illusion."[imgtoken data:1]

Pedro Takahashi directs a&nbsp;riotous promo for Glasgow punk band Humour.&nbsp;The video for Neighbours explores the surreality of suburbia, opening on a miniature set, before diving into the living room of a terraced house where the band are performing - at full volume. And someone is banging on the front door - quite possibly the neighbours.&nbsp;Imbued with a grungy, textural aesthetic, the video is cinematic, atmospheric and band-focussed. With excellent cinematography by Max Conran, it's packed with strange camera angles, as the mystery deepens as to who is&nbsp;trying to get into the house.&nbsp;Paranoid and claustrophobic, enhanced by Geri Docherty's intense edit,&nbsp;it's a stirring video smoothly&nbsp;aligned with the unruly track.&nbsp;

Sugababes are back with an instant classic, and a very slick promo from&nbsp;Dora Paphides.The video for Jungle finds the trio in a vast office space, where a menagerie of artistic vignettes unfold.&nbsp;Switching up between performance, choreography and abstract cutaways, it has all the markers of a classic Sugababes video, filtered through a mature, contemporary lens."I think I approached this video from a fan perspective," explains Paphides.&nbsp;"I’ve loved the Sugababes forever so this was an instinctive thing to do. I sort of thought, what would get me excited watching a new Sugababes video, and led with that instinct."The concept was an editorial/pop take on day and night. I wanted to create this sense of night time and things aren’t what they seem at night.&nbsp; This translated into these office scenes, where the band slowly break out and enter the rave. Blink, and you might miss something. I wanted to create this sense of being in the dark and misinterpreting something you’ve seen. Or being drunk and trying to remember what happened."I looked a lot at Kito Munoz’s work, previous Prada and Rick Owens campaigns... I wanted the classic pop video to have a fashion edge."[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2][imgtoken data:3]
