Hear65's music video guide (February 2026) — LAYYI, Shye, Iman Fandi, MICappella, Shohini, Sharbil & more

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.

LAYYI - 'I JUST CUT MY HAIR'

LAYYI breaks free in the empowering music video for ‘I JUST CUT MY HAIR’, taken from her album LOVE(?). The track itself is a bold, cathartic anthem about shedding heartbreak and stepping into your next era. The video — directed and edited by Huang Qimin, and produced by MAMA and Ryan Sim — brings the transformation to life with soft rage and fierce glam. A stunning visual declaration of self-worth, style, and starting over — proof that sometimes, healing starts with a haircut.

Shye - 'Eclipse'

Shye returns with 'Eclipse', a dreamy, soul-baring track that wrestles with the uncertainty of half-love. The song explores the tension of being someone’s “almost”—not quite chosen, yet never fully let go. Wrapped in synth-laced melancholy and piercing vulnerability, 'Eclipse' paints the emotional disorientation of loving someone who fades in and out, orbiting your life but never landing. It’s a song that feels like a companion for anyone who’s ever been caught between hope and closure, voiced with raw honesty: “Maybe you just like to miss me.” More than just a breakup anthem, Shye calls it a “mouthpiece” for anyone navigating self-doubt, longing, or the quiet search for peace.

Iman Fandi - 'Tip Toes'

Iman Fandi steps confidently into a new chapter with ‘Tip Toes’, a playful yet assured single that marks her first independent release and the opening statement of an upcoming 2026 EP. Written during a period of personal and professional reset, the track leans into quiet confidence — exploring attraction through control, mutual desire, and subtle power rather than grand gestures. Blending contemporary pop polish with R&B-tinged sensuality, ‘Tip Toes’ captures Iman moving with intention, clarity, and self-belief, signalling not just a sonic shift but a new way of moving forward — fully present and firmly on her own terms.

MICappella x Wah!Banana - '《马上到》'

MICappella join forces with viral content creators Wah!Banana for a lively original titled '《马上到》'. Packed with MICappella’s signature harmonies, Wah!Banana’s comedic flair, and a surprise cameo by Singapore’s Minister of State Mr Baey Yam Keng (as the cheeky “Mr Ma”), the release captures the spirit of reunion, humour, and high-energy celebration. Set in the bustling Hey Kee Seafood Restaurant, the music video comes alive with festive dance breaks and cheeky storytelling — all designed to welcome fortune and fun, “马上” (right away).

Shohini - 'NO THANKS'

Shohini’s new single ‘NO THANKS’ is an infectious pop bop packed with groove, grit, and grace. The track throws off the weight of societal expectations and toxic self-doubt in favour of radical self-acceptance. With funk-tinged production and empowering lyrics like “No thanks, I’ll pass on this unfiltered envy,” Shohini invites listeners to reclaim their joy and set boundaries — all while dancing to the beat. Rooted in her personal reckoning with self-doubt and existential dread, 'NO THANKS' offers a catchy reminder that choosing yourself is not just valid — it’s powerful.

Sharbil - 'Slow Down'

Produced by Prodbydan and featuring Tomoblu on the chorus and Wan Tanah on guitars, Sharbil’s ‘Slow Down’ is a vulnerable meditation on faith, fatherhood, and finding peace after personal upheaval. Opening with a one-minute atmospheric intro before unfolding into two introspective rap verses, the track wrestles with emotional distance and spiritual doubt, anchored by the aching hook: “Don’t say you got me, but you don’t / Give me a reason not to go home.” The accompanying music video deepens that introspection through a raw, guerrilla-style visual approach helmed by Ayu Rahman, capturing Sharbil moving through stark urban spaces that mirror his inner stillness and tension. Together, the song and video form an experience that urges listeners to pause, breathe, and return to what’s real.
