Is there a way of going straight to my music videos on the iPhone 7?

Previously in Videos there was a choice of 3 options at the bottom of the screen - Films, Music Videos and Home Videos. But on the iPhone 7 Music videos doesn't appear.

The videos are viewable through Music on my 7, and Ive checked that the videos are correctly marked as 'Music Videos' in iTunes, but they don't appear in the Videos app...

Ya that's one of the changes Apple has made in order to 'enrich' their Music App. They consider Music Videos as Music and hence we can now access them only through the Music App, and the Music tab in the iTunes Store App.
 
I find it frustrating, but I've now created a playlist in iTunes called Music Video which includes them all. I really don't see any advantage in not being able to see Music Videos in the Video app, after all they are videos.

I agree. And that is the logical way to classify. I guess, another case of Apple emphasizing on their new features (in this case, Apple Music) at the cost of convenience.
