Christine and The Queens "Comme si" (David Wilson, dir.)

Christine and the Queens aka Héloïse Letissier heads to the river for an artistic rebirth.

Héloïse Letissier, Christine and the Queens: "In Hamlet, Ophelia is, of course, the unlucky lover, the rejected one; but her madness and the suicide that ensues is also symptomatic of a whole era: the young girl, unwanted, unloved, simply cannot live,” Christine explains in a statement. “Looking at Millais’ painting, and thinking of ‘Comme si’ as this erotic reverie of subverting rejection with self-empowerment, I started to dream of giving that myth a welcomed, witty twist. Let’s undo that tragic ending; let’s cheat death, if you will.”

GHOSTPOET "Woe Is Meee" (Savannah Setten, dir.)

Directed by Savannah Setten, it features a brief cameo from Obaro (Ghostpoet). The idea behind the video was as she explains; "Depicting the darker, emotional response I had to the track led me to build a world around an atypical senior citizen (played by John O'Brien) who at 70, finding himself in a society openly discussing gender neutrality, chooses to address his deepest most insular struggles around sexuality and persona.”

Hurts "Lights" (Dawn Shadforth, dir.)

Dawn Shadforth and HURTS reunite for this very special collaboration. From Hunger Magazine, "The artful visual for “Lights” depicts a surreal late night scenario, the dark atmosphere and twisted nature of the protagonists lifted by dreamlike dance routines – a first for the band’s lead singer. It’s a mesmerising string to their bow in the lead up to the highly-anticipated third album."
