SHOWstudio contributor Thomas Alexander has teamed up with esteemed poet Kae Tempest to direct the artist's music video for her latest single 'No Prizes'.

Following up on the previously released single Paradise, both songs make up part of the artist's new record The Line Is A Curve, released on 8 April.

Partnering up with longtime friend and Mercury nominee Lianne La Havas for No Prizes, the result presents are harmonious dynamic, where the two performers are almost blurred into one. Tempest revealed to music magazine Dork, 'Made a song with my good friend and mind-blowing artist Lianne La Havas. So grateful for her voice in the world and on this record. A portrait of three people getting on with getting on. I just got to keep climbing.'

Directed by SHOWstudio contributor and Nick Knight's previous first assistant Thomas Alexander, the music video matches the song's calming tempo through its intimate and softly focused lens.
