Stormzy, Example, Snakehips, Maribou State, and Vybz Kartel feature in ENVY Advertising’s retrospective highlights
Music videos continue to make their mark on culture – with 2019 already throwing up showstoppers and thought-provoking gems such as The Chemical Brothers’ ‘Gotta Keep On’, A$AP Rocky’s ‘Kids Turned Out Fine’, and The Specials’ ‘Vote For Me’. ENVY Advertising takes the opportunity to look back at its most memorable music video highlights – from MC heavyweights to electro dream-teams, to dancehall giants and pop newcomers…



AMA - Slip
Relive your high-school nostalgia in pastel-hued perfection with AMA’s recent video, ‘Slip’. Shot by Francis Wallis, the fun and highly-stylised film flawlessly complements the 18-year-old London songstress’ upbeat R&B tunes. Through seamless post, three different AMAs simultaneously share a screen.

Stormzy – Blinded By Your Grace Pt.2 [Acoustic] Ft. Wretch 32, Aion Clarke & Ed Sheeran
This acoustic rendition of Stormzy’s powerful track sees the Mercury-nominated grime star jamming with flame-haired crooner Ed Sheeran, Wretch 32 and Aion. Directed by Ben Newbury, the intimate music video captures the tenderness and raw energy of the talents coming together.

Snakehips – Cruzin’ (Stay Home Tapes – Act 1) ft. St Rulez
It’s not quite summer yet but for three minutes you can be transported to the mesmerising, sunset-soaked world of Snakehips’ ‘Cruzin’. For the majority of the video, we stroll alongside a seemingly wholesome middle-aged woman in an all-lilac get-up and her beloved pooch. But those who watch to the end will be treated to an unexpected twist…

Maribou State – Nervous Tics
Maribou State’s dreamy and disorientating music video bewitchingly plays with our perspective of time and space. Seamless visual effects create fluid mirror-image illusions, while the rich grade gives each scene a distinct aesthetic and mood – from the technicolour dancefloor to cold deep greens of the therapy room and vibrant midnight blues of the snooker hall.

Example, Grim Sickers and Bonkaz – Nine Point Nine
Shot in striking monochrome, this attitude-packed music video underpins the dynamic trio’s bars with scenes of them interacting with colourful local characters. Everyday locations and activities such as the boxing ring, the salon, garage and playground serve as the background.

Vybz Kartel – Real Bad Gal
Jamaica’s colourful music community is rendered in all its beauty and harsh realities by director Ivar Wigan, who spent two years forming relationships with its hustlers and dancers. His music video for Vybz Kartel contrasts lush shots of Jamaica’s nature against the artificial hues of the vibrant clothing and interiors – switching between grainy, cinematic footage and candid night-time shots.

Lole – Thoughts of Us
Captivating and otherworldly, Lole’s ‘Thoughts of Us’ uses a winning combination of dramatic lighting and visual effects to convey the emotion-packed characters. Lole’s powerful beats are enhanced by the stunning visuals, abstract imagery, and thought-provoking dance.
