Jelani Blackman "Lockjaw" (Joao Retorta, dir.)

Informed by a line in the chorus - ‘My dons going straight to the topfloor', the video for Jelani Blackman’s ‘Lockjaw’ sees camera moving up a staircase at an undisclosed location, constantly finding Jelani on each flight in a fake one-shot. It’s a technique based concept presented in a very rugged manner. Camera moves hand-held at all times and without a clear sense of horizon at moments, creating a somewhat disorientating and claustrophobic feel as we keep moving up but never really go anywhere. - Joao

Loyle Carner "Sun of Jean" (Joao Retorta, dir.)

With his debut album ‘Yesterday’s Gone’ nominated for tonight prestigious Mercury prize, Loyle Carner releases the new video for ‘Sun of Jean’ with Joao Retorta back at the helm.  

A nostalgic, honest and delicate depiction of unconditional love between mothers and their sons, exquisitely executed by Joao.

Everything crossed for tonight, a worthy winner we reckon.

Loyle Carner "The Isle Of Arran" (Georgia Hudson, dir.)

Loyle Carner's new video 'The Isle Or Arran' directed by Georgia Hudson focuses on the relationship fathers have with their children. 

Loyle says " I just wanted to celebrate the [fathers] who are doing right and sticking around, because they're shedding the stereotype." 

The video sees the South Londoner taking a stroll around a surreal hospital ward, ending up with a group of young fathers with their babies.
