When it comes to music, music videos are important supplements to what we can hear as they stimulate our visual senses in a way that sound cannot.
From creative homemade projects to cinematic works that beg to be seen on a big screen, all forms of music videos are released by Singapore's talented musicians seeking to extend the stories told in their songs every month. In this monthly series, we will be rounding up the latest releases from our sunny island that might fly under the radar.

yeule - 'VV'
In ‘VV’, yeule drifts into one of their most intimate, stripped-back moments — a gentle, melancholic track anchored by the haunting line "I was a real rabbit before I was me", exploring identity, transformation, and the soft ache of escaping one’s past. The music video sharpens that emotional edge: after a motorcycle crash, yeule is dragged by two expressionless nurses into a dilapidated warehouse, where care and experimentation blur into one unsettling ritual. As the nurses mix a mysterious concoction from her body and essence, the reveal lands like a surreal punchline — the potion is Code by yeule, Inc. — Eau de Parfum, tying the song’s themes of rebirth and reconstruction to an alchemical product.
Mary Sue - 'Mosquito'
‘Mosquito (Chengdu Version)’ finds Mary Sue reimagining his razor-sharp track from Porcelain Shield, Paper Sword. The remix keeps its punchy one-liners and politically charged metaphors intact (“mosquitos don’t got purpose, but these bloodsuckers are getting rich”), which might even hit even harder over its reworked beat. Shot by Leon Wan aka El Professionel (of Super Enjoy and YS), the music video features Mary Sue spitting verses through across Chengdu. Capturing a candid blend of performance and place, the is perfectly backdropped by the rhythm of everyday life in one of China’s most charming cities.
Shye - 'Signs'
‘Signs’ is an introspective indie‑pop reverie about loss, longing, and the quiet search for connection in the aftermath of someone you can’t stop thinking about. Through heartfelt lyrics—“I believe I will see you soon… But if you don’t mind, give me a sign / I need to know you’re fine up in the sky”—Shye captures that universal ache of wanting reassurance from someone who’s gone, whether through parting or grief. It navigates the space between nostalgia and acceptance, asking for something to hold on to when time feels like it’s slipping away. At its core, 'Signs’ is both a comfort and a catharsis for anyone who’s wished for a message from the ones they miss.
Kelvin Tan - 'This Country's Worst Nightmare'
The music video for ‘This Country’s Worst Nightmare’ (taken off Kelvin Tan's Alive and Trying EP) takes a playful, satirical spin on conformity, following a man wandering around Singapore with a brown paper bag over his head, its cartoon smiley face masking everything he feels and hides. Directed by Syamsul Bahari and starring Zan of Bowden — with a cheeky cameo from singer-songwriter Kelvin himself (of The Oddfellows) — the video uses humour and absurdity to highlight how society expects people to “fit the mold,” poking fun at the ways we hide our true selves just to blend in.
Sl_OWTALK - 'SHN OSK'
Experimental duo Sl_OWTALK — made up of Isyraf and Mamat — are known for turning chaos into craft, pairing relentless percussion with gritty, distorted electronic textures. Their music often feels like an improvised surge of energy. However their video for ‘SHN OSK’ leans a calmer, more transportive (literally) spirit. Described by the duo as “part travel document, part moving rehearsal room,” the clip follows them on a bullet train bound for Osaka, seated side-by-side as they casually jam while the world blurs past the window. It’s intimate, unpolished, and captures pure creative instinct captured at high speed.
Taledrops - 'Vampire' (Olivia Rodrigo cover)
For their live take on Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Vampire’, Taledrops flip the song into a full-blown 2000s alt-rock drama, dialling up the grit and guitars. The performance video leans into their signature prog-rock theatricality, topped with Pearly’s piercing, soaring vocals. The band reimagines Rodrigo’s heartbreak anthem as something darker, heavier, and deliciously nostalgic, asking themselves, “What if 'Vampire' was written in the 2000s?” and answering with a version that feels both era-perfect and unmistakably Taledrops.
Half Open Tales - 'Shipwreck'
Half Open Tales have unleashed their latest single, 'Shipwreck', a fiery pop-punk anthem that dives headfirst into the wreckage of a toxic relationship. Coming in hot, the track is powered by razor-sharp hooks, crashing guitars, and cathartic lyricism that refuses to be gaslit or silenced. With each shout and surge, ‘Shipwreck’ captures that volatile tipping point—the chaos, the collapse, and the final, freeing breakaway. It’s the sound of reclaiming your voice from the storm.
EMMAD - 'MyLove'
Emma Darwisyah’s debut single ‘MyLove’ is a heart-on-sleeve tribute to maternal love and personal growth. From the singer’s emotional journey from struggling with dyslexia to discovering her true voice in music, Emma's first official song reflects her gratitude for her mum’s unwavering support, sacrifices, belief and love. Written during her time at LaSalle and produced with Amyr Abadawn at Exuism Record, ‘MyLove’ pairs poignant lyrics with stirring string instrumentation. The music video, which was produced on a modest budget, showcases EMMAD’s resilience through thoughtful editing and creative direction.
