I usually stay away from live versions of songs on this site, but this performance from Danish songstress Molina is so unusual and visually captivating.
Taken from the EP ‘Vanilla Shell’. Give it a spin here.

Watch: Remi Wolf – Photo ID
Indie, funk and disco, all served up in a brilliantly bonkers way which I can only expect from Remi Wolf.
“I love this video. Just a straight up dancing vibe. I included the mask because we made this video in quarantine and I felt the mask is kind of this universal thing at the moment. We all now know that exact feeling of going outside with a mask. All the other versions of me are dancing indoors, which I thought was important because the reality of modern dance parties is that you gotta do that shit yourself! This video is all about letting go, escaping reality a bit, and getting your booty wiggling!”
Watch: Yelle – Je t’aime encore
Serious question: How does Yelle keep pushing out these pop perfections every single time?
This is a pretty minimal release for the French legend but still mighty impressive. And watch the video until the end for a very bizarre twist.
Watch: Paul Rey – Talking in My Sleep
“I wrote it from my personal experience from working a lot in the States and being apart from my then girlfriend, but now wife. It’s inspired by the feelings that come from spending a lot of time away from each other and waking up each morning without another day seeing her.”

Watch: HYYTS – The Low Sound
“The idea of contrast has always been so important to us. Our personalities completely contrast – Sam is the illusive and quiet one, headphones in and getting inspiration from all angles and genres, putting weird sounds and erratic production over my completely different approach of bubblegum pop and cheesy lyrics. We seem to balance each other out, and it seems to work! The video and track follows that kind of idea of contrast too – it counterbalances happiness with sadness, darkness and light, lyrically happy but sonically a bit manic.”
– Adam (HYYTS)
Watch: Brother Leo – Hallelujah
Brother Leo’s latest release now comes with visuals directed by Sashinski and was filmed in England’s Southend, shortly before lockdown began.
“Me and Sasha wanted to create a dark and restrained visual for Hallelujah, that in a symbolic way expressed the struggle in trying to make peace with the painful fact that certain things just can’t be fixed, no matter how hard you try.”
Watch: AJ Mitchell – Down In Flames
“The idea behind Down In Flames was sparked when two of my best friends got in a really bad argument and I saw how the situation could’ve ended better if they just communicated how they actually felt. I need to work on this too, it’s maybe something we all have to work on sometimes. So many problems can be solved if we just stop hiding how we really feel.”
Watch: Max Pope – Hologram
“I lived with my father for a while and although we love each other very much, I often found myself in conflict with him. Sometimes the only way I could defend myself was to shut down and become vacant, which made me feel like a hologram. There was something empowering about that feeling.”
Watch: Aiden Myers – Help Me
“The song came about during one of the worst nervous breakdowns of my life. We had all the songs done for the EP and I knew I needed to write a song about my mental health and anxiety. I’m very nervous about putting this one out, but I hope to God it can reach people, and hopefully let people know that they are not alone.”
Watch: DYLYN – Something to Lose
“There seems to be a theme of an underlining darkness in this song, and most of the new record. I’ve enjoyed bringing out other characters that live within my spirit. It’s nice to dance along the dark side at times.”
Watch: Bad Bunny – Yo Perreo Sola
The video I never thought I would see by a latin rap artist – but it’s here and I am living for it. Game changer.
Watch: Mob Rich – Get High
“We’re always searching for the next high in our lives. A way to stave off monotony and feel good. Whether it’s sex, food, drugs, religion or a million other things we can use to fill the void, eventually we come down. But we wanted to write a song in which maybe these characters get to stay on that high forever. We tried to tell that story through the video as well, where these characters journey to a distant planet only to find they have a better time there than on earth.”
Maxwell
The Aces
“Over the years our band has always been described or referred to as a ‘girl gang’, so we decided to bring that to life in a fun, action packed, classic Hollywood kinda way.”
Alisa Ramirez
Watch: Vera Hotsauce – Dad’s Bugatti
Watch: FINNEAS – Let’s Fall in Love for the Night
Watch: Kevin Garrett – Gone Again
“The director and I aligned on creating a visual that maintains tension, but points to loosening up ever so slightly.”
Watch: keshi – blue
Watch: BOSCO – Piano Song
“I’m just giving you a world to put the song in. I’m treating the visuals more like a commercial to the song, than a video.”
Watch: Gia Woods – EGO
“I wrote “Ego” about a past relationship. It felt like a never ending cycle of ego trips and with that comes a lot of power struggles and pettiness. When two people have big egos, there’s almost never a solution. You’re just in a constant state of fighting and ignoring the obvious.”
