Our latest NN Music Video of the Week comes from Neela, whose song “You’ll Never Know” is inspired by domestic violence and abused boundaries – whether that’s physically, sexually, or otherwise.

San Francisco's A17 stands out by providing his listeners with melodies that take his music to the next level and lyrics that speak to both the hopeless romantic inside all of us and the toxic playboy who tends to get in its way. Listen to A17's Pilot Kid produced track "Sides" now.

UK R&B singer-songwriter Wellingta is a radiant screen presence, and the Lutch Media-directed clip for "No Goodbyes" keeps the camera fixed on the star as she makes her way around the grand and gorgeous Rivoli Ballroom - the only 1950s ballroom remaining intact in London.

Justin Love carries feelings of loneliness and suspicion into the beautifully shot clip for "No Friends." Though the star's visual collaborator Few Oliveira filmed and edited the video — and did so masterfully — Justin Love directed it himself. We're shown a day in the singer's life: we watch him select his clothing carefully and prepare to be in the public eye.

The sharp-looking apartment in which Cracked Lenz shoots the "1Concern" video could be in Atlanta — or anywhere young people get together to enjoy the finer things. Young Holyfield, Ishadon, and some attractive friends gather in a well-appointed living room to eat, dance, listen to music, and enjoy each others' company.

In the inseparable video companion to "Strange Flowers" offers a stunning visual interpretation of Moppert's sonic masterpiece. With his infallible fractal flourishes, Roger Mader provides even the tone-deaf with a sense of synaesthesia, matching colors to the moods of the song and creating structures that reflect the intensity, wonder, and majesty of the music.

Let's tease this tomfoolery with a little more gas—provided by the music video for "Motor Scooter." In this jolly and mischievous flick, we find band members Dave and Joe out on the run. Chased out of a bar, they hop on their bikes and ride off smiling into the crisp Upstate NY autumn colors. Along the way, they catch drummer Scruffy playing drifter on the roadside and comically leave him smelling their exhaust.

Mara Whitehead's striking visual interpretation of "Canyon Town" serves as a captivating complement to the song's unpretentious grandeur. Set against the rugged, awe-inspiring terrain of California's desert, Regina Ferguson wanders barefoot through the shifting sand dunes, strums her guitar in front of a towering redwood fence…

The music video for "World of Water" showcases that which so endears us to Shaheed and DJ Supreme: their heart for and commitment to their community. In the video, our dynamic duo roll up to Birmingham-Southern College's Southern Environmental Center and the McWane Science Center with a rowdy crew of elementary schoolers, ready to soak in some science.

The "Outsyder" music video gives us a view inside the life of Laforren. In the clip, we saunter through Stockton, taking in the lights, and find Laforren in the town square at midnight…

Miguel Orjuela's elegant clip for "Save Me" by Stringz EMB underscores and intensifies the song's themes. We're shown a couple coping with the fallout of a stroke of good fortune: one partner gets a job opportunity overseas, and the other is left behind in a stylish but austere apartment that reflects his desolate inner state.
