BBC Three - Project Icon: The UK’s Next Music Star, Series 1, Episode 4

The judges challenge the five remaining artists to produce and perform in music videos.

The five remaining artists must produce and perform in their own original music videos based on tracks dished out by guest judge Olly Alexander.

Ten unsigned artists have become five in Jason Derulo’s UK hunt for an act who is worthy of a life-changing record deal. Looking for someone with more than just a voice, he and fellow judges Becky Hill and US music mogul Frank Harris, along with host Jordan North, have already seen our artists sing under pressure, reimagine and perform their rivals’ signature track in the studio and attempt to break the internet with their own brand of social media content. 

In this episode, their image and confidence in front of the camera are under scrutiny as the artists are split into groups and tasked with producing iconic music videos for tracks gifted to them by special guest judge Olly Alexander from Years and Years.

Barry is committed to coming out on top in this task, but will his direct approach cause friction in the group? Emelle and Dylan tackle dancing on camera for the first time, while Nnenna and Mia battle nerves on set as they compete to outshine the others. But will the judges see potential global superstars in the making? 

Whoever fails to make the cut will end up singing to save their place in the competition in front of the three uncompromising judges.
