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.

goneMUNE - 'AMNESIA'

goneMUNE’s ‘AMNESIA’ is a hypnotic blend of 80s-inspired synthwave and dark electronic pop that explores themes of loneliness, grief, and self-worth through the lens of Averdonia—a cyborg seeking humanity and emotional awakening. Originally inspired by a toxic relationship and personal struggles with mental health, the song evolved into a cathartic journey of healing and self-discovery. With haunting vocals and futuristic synths, ‘AMNESIA’ bridges past and future while setting the stage for the upcoming EP AVERDONIA, a deeper exploration of identity, purpose, and the complexities of feeling human.

SHLTR - 'Decay Part 2'

SHLTR’s song, co-written with Ahmad Zakir and accompanied by a haunting music video, delves into themes of emotional decay, lost identity, and the painful cycles of hope and collapse. Through visceral imagery and raw lyricism, it explores the struggle of holding onto meaning in a deteriorating emotional landscape—where every attempt to rebuild is met with destruction, and love becomes a weapon. The song portrays a sense of being trapped in grief and memory, chasing remnants of what once was, while slowly fading into silence and loss.

Lady Kash - 'Villupaattu'

Lady Kash, the world’s first Tamizh-English female rapper, pays tribute to Poongani—the pioneering solo female Villupaattu performer—by reimagining her iconic 2018 track with 'Villupaattu (The Live Orchestral Version)'. Recorded with a Western classical orchestra in Skopje, Macedonia, the release blends ancient South Indian folk storytelling with modern rap and cinematic orchestration to honour feminine resilience, cultural defiance, and ancestral legacy. More than a tribute, the track is a bold statement of women reclaiming narrative space in traditionally male-dominated art forms, as Lady Kash continues to push boundaries in hip-hop and global music while celebrating the power of female artistry across generations.

Syaz Smooth - 'Doa Untuk Ibu'

'Doa Untuk Ibu' is a heartfelt song written by Syaz Smooth, expressing deep gratitude and love for a mother's sacrifices and unwavering devotion to her family. The song reflects a deep sense of reverence, highlighting the importance of always praying for and caring for one's mother. With its emotional lyrics, it conveys a powerful message of unconditional love, seeking divine protection and forgiveness for a beloved mother. The song’s tender tone and heartfelt plea create a beautiful tribute to maternal love and strength.

ARE - 'World Ender'

'World Ender' by ARE is a poetic, dreamlike ode to surrendering completely to love and transformation. With imagery of amber petals and trembling nerves, the song evokes a sense of intimacy and vulnerability, as the narrator embraces the overwhelming presence of a lover who feels both otherworldly and all-consuming. Through lush, surreal lyricism and an ambient, art rock sound, the track explores themes of dissolution and unity—of two people merging into one, transcending reality, and finding comfort in the chaos of emotional surrender. It’s a gentle, haunting reflection on connection, fantasy, and the beauty of endings that lead to new beginnings.
