Jasmine Thompson "Loyal" (SASHINSKI, dir.)

From The Director:

The visual was a reawakening for Jasmine, positioning herself in a slightly different realm with a beautiful new sound. Working closely with choreographer Darcy Wallace we wanted the movement to reflect the themes of loyalty, separation and then finally freedom and independence. We filmed on a brutally cold day in December at Chatham Historic which is an epic space. Special thanks to Nicola Sheppard at Atlantic who gave me the freedom to collaborate closely with Jasmine to sculpt the creative.

Matoma "Lonely" (Aella Jordan-Edge, dir.)

Aella Jordan-Edge takes us to the London nightclub scene to film Matoma’s ‘Lonely’ ft. MAX. With an “imaginary friend” concept at its core, this music video was inspired by Aella’s love for the classic film, ‘Harvey’. We follow the journey of two dancers, never knowing if the girl in this romantic duo is real, or just a figment of his imagination.

Tom Misch "Movie" (Joshua Osborne, dir.)

A beautiful track & video inspired by home movie footage of Tom Misch's grandparents Margriet & Klaus Misch. The footage shows their lives from the couple in love to very hard times in Europe during World War II.

From Joshua Osborne:

"This was definitely a unique experience and process and I thoroughly enjoyed working closely with the whole family to ensure we execute their story in the most respectful way."

Thinkpiece "You're People You're Evil" (Aella Jordan-Edge, dir.)

Director Aella Jordan-Edge’s first collaboration with North London newcomers Thinkpiece is a

trippy exploration through a young woman’s psyche. While Thinkpiece’s first music video Voice

For Us played on themes of media and hypnosis, You're People You're Evil dives fully into an

addictive digital nightmare.

Grief stricken after a public break-up, our protagonist wanders into an underground arcade and

finds a VR headset. This technology gives her a chance to see through the eyes of, and at times

Honne "Good Together" (Joao Retorta, dir.)

All is Good Together, especially when you're naked together.

Joao Retorta, dirctor: " What it truly feels like to fall in love: The entire world feeling reduced to a moment and place. Right Here. Right Now. The two of you. A notion of love in its purest form. We present the couples fully vulnerable throughout the film as a metaphor for becoming ‘emotionally naked' when you truly trust someone. Warm in each other’s naked arms. ‘Without a care’. However, my aim was to let the feeling ride the viewer, as opposed to the nudity factor, turning it secondary and almost unnoticeable."

A tender, loving and sensitive video, that it's a shame to affix it with that NSFW stamp.
