Emily King - "Distance" | Music Video
Three months on from its debut, Emily King's "Distance" sounds even more stunningly gorgeous with time. The New York native released the song as a free download back in January, her soothing voice flowing with sentimental, poetic lyrics which stick in the mind, and now follows through with a colourful split-screen video directed by Paul Jung. It's simple, clean, quirky and makes for a charming visual accompaniment - watch above and purchase "Distance" on iTunes.
Information is scarce on what Emily currently has up her sleeve but this surely spells out a new project on the way, and we can't wait. In the meantime, newbies to Ms. King should dip back into her debut album, East Side Story (2007), and her 2011 Seven EP.

Childish Gambino f/ Problem - "Sweatpants" | Music Video
Childish Gambino delivers another uncompromisingly creative visual from his recently released sophomore album Because The Internet.
"Sweatpants" is the latest music video release from the rapper, actor, writer and producer (real name Donald Glover), and the one-shot style visual puts Gambino in a groundhog day style loop as something very freaky happens as the loop continues (pay close attention). As the song ends Gambino cuts into another highlight from the LP, "Urn", for a beautifully shot and choreographed outro that is a joy to behold. Press play above and enjoy.
Because The Internet is out now.
denitia and sene - "divided." | Music Video
Marching on from their Red Bull Sound Select release earlier this month, Brooklyn natives denitia and sene reappear this week with a perfectly applicable visual for their track “divided."
The video is in keeping with the track’s mellow, electro-reggae, soulful concoction; mixing jaded black and white shots with brief flashes of colour, director Joel Kefali has provided a candid companion for the Christian Rich produced track.
"Most of the people who sound like denitia and sene are already signed in LA, so it was refreshing to hear what they were doing," Kehinde Hassan - one-half of Christian Rich - told Red Bull during their studio session last year. "The harmonies, the beat selection and their overall concept is something that we lack out west. So we took this as an opportunity to get back to our East Coast roots.”
Be sure to check out the black and white visuals for denitia and sene’s “divided.” up top.
Skepta feat. JME - "That's Not Me" | Music Video
Recently released short film “That’s Not Me” signalled the return for the 'king of grime' Skepta, and now Joseph is back today with the full track and visual for the JME and DJ Maximum assisted piece.
Maintaining the archaic format of the short film, the visuals take us back to VCR crackles and poorly fabricated green screens for what is a throwback to Lord Of The Mics-esque days. The eskimo sounding beat was produced by himself serving as a preview to what is hopefully to come from his upcoming album, Konnichiwa, which is set to drop later this year.
