Lianne La Havas - Forget official video

Some conspicuous product placement and shameless self promotion never hurt anyone. Especially when it's as witty and tongue in cheek as Lianne's charming personality makes it. It's a new video for the re-release of the well-received single, centred around the repeated downfall of her ex. Brilliant pay back.

Lianne's album, Is Your Love Big Enough? is currently available at all good music stores.

Jessie Ware - Running official video

She is the Queen.

This is Ms Ware's first single coming from her debut album. After countless collaborations on the SBTRKT album, The Vision with Joker and last years Valentine with Sampha she's finally coming into her own and releasing her own material. Only a few years ago she was belting backing vocals for Jack Penate, but Running sees her taking a softer approach which she attributes to working on the SBTRKT album.

It's produced by Dave Okumu and Julio Bashmore of PMR records to which Jessie is signed. Running is the ultimate sultry soul track, reminiscent of Soul II Soul and Sade. Each line is laced with harmonies. The guitars are so sexy that they border on the line of melodic porn. Simply hypnotic. And of course, she looks like a goddess in the video directed by the visual genius that is Kate Moross.

Niggas In Paris

London went into a frenzy when there was a rumour Kanye was wondering about Shoreditch, but in reality the excitement boiled down to a projection of this live music video with a difference on a wall. Illuminati theorists will rightly have a field day with this. Lions, Leopards, Greek imagery and a whole lot of Triangles. This video is highly likely to give you an epilectic fit, but you can't say they didn't try.

While it may not be the most revolutionary video of the year (M.I.A.'s Bad Girls is defintely in the running), or top the video of THAT guy on the subway, it's aesthetically pleasing. If that's not good enough for you, it's trippy and Kanye is wearing a leather skirt. That shit cray.

The Practice official video

Practice from OctobersVeryOwn on Vimeo.

Where do I begin. After listening to Take Care repeatedly in this last two months, I wanted The Practice to be the new single. When I found out it was, I couldn't help but wonder what the video would be like. So yes, keep clicking further and further into the video. Yes, she is still dancing. And yes, that is Drake entering the room in the most cringeworthy, vomit-inducing manner. However, the song is still a winner. He's allowed to make mistakes.
