NDP 2021: The Road Ahead
Official Music Video
Directed by Jerrold Chong and Huang Junxiang
In 2021, Junxiang and I were selected to direct the NDP 2021 Theme Song Music Video.
Though a mix of live-action and animation, the music video invites Singaporeans upon a journey to imagine a better tomorrow. We follow the footsteps of singers Linying, Sezairi, Shye and Shabir.
Each are inspired by a bold vision of possibilities, the resilience of our forebears, the kindness radiating within our communities and the renewed spirit to strive forth. This journey reminds us that we are all connected by an enduring Singapore spirit. As with every night, comes a new morning.
The Road Ahead hopes to rally Singaporeans with a shared sense of optimism as we celebrate the nation’s 56th birthday.
The music video has since topped YouTube Top 10 List of Music Videos for 2021, beating beat out songs by international artists such as BTS (#2, #6), Bruno Mars (#4), Lisa (#5) and Rosé (#7).
