Still from SAKHI by Raazi Hussain and Ahsan Pervaiz Mehdi
Some music videos are more than just landscapes for songs to exist. They’re a journey into the musical process, and all of the joys of interpretation that come with the art of making and listening to music. These videos take a life of their own, completely changing the experience of listening to a song. Music videos exist at the intersection of all things performance: singing, acting, sometimes even dance. What’s not to like? Here is Platform’s recommended list of recent music videos by Indian artists.
Julie by Janisht Joshi and AtharvaMusic
If you’re ever driving back home early in the morning, after a long night of dancing and singing, but still have an ounce of energy left for one last tune—Julie is the perfect song. The vocals are soft, layered well, and placed within well-rounded instruments. Directed by Amun Khot, the music video is dramatic; blending the vintage aesthetics of a theatre, with choreographed dance pieces, coordinated costumes and lip-syncing. It is an ode to the process of falling in love, the confession, the chase, the high, and everything in-between.
Spection 2.0 by sudan
‘I released my debut album sudan? exactly a year ago. If I wrote down everything I wanted out of it, I would’ve asked for less than what I got.’ are the sentences that kickstart the music video to Spection 2.0. The music video is quite simple, with sudan, the artist looking straight into the camera in a variety of different landscapes–at a beach, inside a forest, on a hill. But, the true joy of this music video is at the halfway mark, when the visuals switch to black and white from a variety of colours, and the tabla makes a grand entry. The circular tracking shot of the drums, keys and guitar that form the song, is a treat to the eyes.
Love & Limerence by Rudy x Kalmi
Directed and edited by Deepika Menon, Love & Limerence is an R&B track about love, longing and the tensions of emotional distance. The video primarily follows a white colour palette, with tinges of warmth sparkled through. The protagonist of the video—the singer herself—strives to reach for someone who is wrapped up in translucent sheets, with no identifiable features. The video is a representation of vulnerability, guarded hearts, and the strength of letting go.
Khud Ko Miloon by Taba Chake
A track that spans through loneliness, self-discovery and the search for meaning, Khud Ko Miloon’s music video is sure to have you feeling like the world is your oyster. Each frame of this video is stunning, shot primarily in the hometown of the singer himself, Arunachal Pradesh. The music video features many different people singing along with him, while driving past luscious landscapes, a metaphor for the journey that is life, and all the people who leave impressions on us.
SAKHI by Raazi Hussain & Ahsan Pervaiz Mehdi
There’s something timeless about the beauty of this video and this song. Raazi Hussain and Ahsan Pervaiz Mehdi blend classical South Asian vocals with an ambient, contemporary production that builds slowly and beautifully. The music video, edited with care, mirrors this sentiment. Bathed in warm, golden light, it captures the essence of companionship and devotion. This music video is not only to be watched, it is to be felt within the deep hollows of one’s heart.
We Take Things for Granted by Sarathy Korwar
Presented entirely in black and white, We Take Things for Granted is the lead single from Sarathy Korwar’s forthcoming album There Is Beauty, There Already. The sounds feature a ritualistic drum groove backed by pentatonic bells, xylophones, and drone singing. Directed by Bosco B, the music video focuses on the quirks of the human body itself, and how it can embody calmness, even in the face of pain. The movements of the body signify time, memory, and a comforting thought that everything is constantly changing.
