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.

Says It All - 'honey (it's not you, it's me)'
Fronted by Cash Christopher and Harith Shah, Says It All are known for turning melodies into anthems — raw, loud, and deeply relatable. That's on full display in the music video for for 'honey (it’s not you, it’s me)'. Directed by Hisham (@Hishamthamc), the MV follows two café workers goofing off while closing up — mopping, doing dishes, and dancing like no one's watching. As they mouth the lyrics and turn cleaning into a jam session, the visual playfully exudes the kind of pop-punk catharsis bubbling underneath song’s emotional rollercoaster of breakups, bitterness, and moving on.
elysrei - 'Be My Muse'
elysrei invites listeners into a moment of raw vulnerability with her latest single ‘Be My Muse’, a tender love ballad recorded live in Nashville. The song’s stripped-down, piano-led arrangement underscores its themes of intimacy and impermanence, with elysrei embracing presence over promises. Shot in Bangkok, the accompanying music video — directed by Alisa Pien — captures fleeting snapshots of love through a continuous panning lens, blurring the lines between memory, imagination, and reality.
Will Beale & Wovensound - 'Sins'
Australia's Will Beale and Singapore's Wovensound come together for Matryoshka, a seven-track collaborative EP. Named after Russian nesting dolls, the project unpacks layers of identity, intimacy, and chaos through a fusion of raw post-punk energy and delicate folk vulnerability. Its lead single, 'Sins', is a searing anthem that explores a dysfunctional family and toxic relationship from the perspective of a child. The track features vocals from Jayesh Melvani, Dawn Yap, and the Singapore Lyric Opera Youth Choir, layered over pounding drums and gritty guitar work. Accompanying the release is a haunting music video by Electus Films, where two dancers, bound by a white sheet, embody a suffocating entanglement — a surreal tribute to René Magritte’s The Lovers that visualises the moment when connection becomes confinement.
Royal Pek x Bonnie Loo - ‘新年不马烦’
Bonnie Loo (罗美仪) joins forces with Royal Pek (白汶諹) for ‘新年不马烦’, their first-ever CNY collaboration—and a love letter to supporting Singapore’s homegrown festive songs. Built from two different creator worlds (artist meets influencer), the duo co-wrote the lyrics and co-produced the overall project. The playful music video captures the initial stress of Chinese New Year preprations (made so much more convenient thanks to Deliveroo!) alongside the simple joys of the eventual festivities. Featuring a lively dance number (amidst a lion dance troupe!) and hip-hop touches, this MV is a delight.
BenRanAway x Miss Hippo — ‘新年Chio Bee Bee’
BenRanAway team up with Miss Hippo for ‘新年Chio Bee Bee’, a CNY track they’ve long wanted to complete as a family—because for them, the season isn’t just about the hype and lucky vibes—it’s about being with family and laughing together. Built around a simple, feel-good reminder to stay “Chio Bee Bee” no matter what life throws at you, the song and MV lean into warm reunion vibes (with the wider family popping in too), pairing catchy festive energy with a heartfelt core that’s meant to stick with you well beyond the holiday week—plus a proud nod to community support with the video backed by NPHVA (National Private Hire Vehicles Association).
Outcasts - ‘幸福园’
Outcasts (怪咖) have dropped ‘幸福园’, a Chinese New Year release built around a simple message: happiness starts at home. After a five-year wait, the group’s festive track shifts the focus away from wealth or status, and instead celebrates the things that feel truly lasting — having family by your side, watching kids grow up, and shaping the next generation with care. Released in collaboration with Geneco as part of its Where Prosperity Blooms initiative, the music video carries that warm, everyday Singaporean CNY energy, encouraging listeners to embrace their own “happiness garden” throughout 2026.
Jeffrey Chung - ‘沉默响起’
Jeffrey Chung (钟添飞) leans into classic xinyao introspection on ‘沉默响起’ (‘Silence Rumbles’), a reflective release that captures the emotional aftershocks of chasing a dream—starting from the rush of applause and “everything felt possible,” then pivoting into the colder truths of the industry, broken expectations, and learning to pick yourself back up. Written by Jeffrey himself, the track circles around a powerful idea: even when you don’t say it out loud, the memories and hurt still “rumble” inside—yet there’s also a quiet determination to wipe away tears and believe tomorrow can be better. This tender music video is produced under Kelvin Sng Productions and directed by Kelvin Sng (孙立人).
