Empress Of Emotive, Retro-Inspired Electronica
There's nothing wildly exceptional about this video's visual narrative - but, with bare ornamentation, it does play wildly on Empress Of's highly emotive vocals and addictive synths. Just a girl on stage dancing shrouded in a kaleidoscopic '80s palette is sometimes all you need for an inspirational video.
Simple, but to the point is utterly effective (DIY artists with limited budget, take note).

Kovacs - My Love
Echoing Amy Winehouse with her wild, unconventional aesthetics and emotive vocal depth, the Dutch singer Kovacs gives here breath-taking lessons on love.
Nana Ou-Yang: A Hell Of A Cellist at 15
The emotional maturity and beauty coming out of Nana Ou-Yang's cello is astonishing, thinking that she's only 15, combining classically-trained charisma with an accessible pop perspective that speak volumes. She's in love with the arts, and it shows in a cleverly displayed, enticing way that makes the rest of the less artistically-inclined world can understand too.
The following video sees Nana and her pianist give devilishly strong deliveries as masters of different arts, from contemporary dance to painting and traditional performance, parade before them.
Different arts coming together and starting a dialogue, each in their own language, luring viewers in and galvanizing them to take up, let's say, wood-carving, or maybe Taiwanese folk dance?

ONUKA: Electronic Experimentalism Meets Orchestral Magnetism
Just recently introduced to this Ukrainian girl trio, I instantly fell for their magnetic electronic soundscapes. Mesmerising as they are danceable, they play over the speakers while you lay back to sip a cocktail, or sway along a hypnotized crowd at your local dance club.
The following clip was taken at ONUKA's sold out gig in Kiev in 2015 . The girls play the keyboards, flute and an electronic drum next to the lyrical strings and horns of the Brevis Orchestra, conducted by Gennady Fiskov, while organic geometric patterns in black and white dance along in the backdrop.
Romantic, futuristic, melodic, avant garde all in one. With a little luck we'll see them soon enough somewhere around here in, admittedly, music-crazy London.
