Tlya X An (@tlyaxan) is an enigmatic artist from the UK. Not too long ago, she released a music video for her new hyper-pop single, “Ninja.” Carried by a driving drumbeat and Tlya X An’s unique, magnetic vocals, this latest offering masterfully blends hyper-pop, R&B, and glitchy electronica. Channeling the pulsating basslines of M.I.A., Charli XCX’s glossy allure, and a touch of Grimes’ eccentric genius, “Ninja” is another vibrant portal into Tlya’s unique musical landscape. Following the acclaimed “Mi Mind Unknown,” Tlya again takes the reins as director and editor, collaborating with Oliver Whitehouse to deliver a deliciously quirky music video alongside the track.
Tlya X An – “Ninja” music video
A heartfelt ode to her sister, born from a reflective London getaway, “Ninja” celebrates their sisterhood, shared joys, and challenges. Yet, the accompanying visual is a mind-bending departure. Directed and edited by Tlya and filmed by Oliver Whitehouse, the video is a surreal dreamscape featuring heart-headed dancers, edgy choreography, and a blood-drinking drummer (Lawi Anywar).
Inspired by the song’s lyric “Even dreams of hell can be beautiful” from Joe Dispenza’s “Becoming Supernatural,” the video presents a daring visual interpretation. It conveys the notion that life, in all its complexity, is a work of art, even in the face of adversity. This striking juxtaposition of the song’s intimate message and the video’s provocative imagery showcases Tlya’s artistic range, proving she’s as fearless a visionary as she is a musical virtuoso.
“I wanted to keep the video simple inspired by the production and use a white studio,” Tlya X An stated. “The driving forces of the song are the drum beat and the vocals which have a little choreography that me and my dancers have been perfecting over time mainly for my live shows. The original moves came to me from the beginning naturally before I even had dancers working with me and over time evolved to something more concrete which you can see in the video.”
