10 Best Indian Music Videos Of 2022

10 Disco Puppet – “Speak Low”

BENGALURU-BASED PRODUCER, drummer and singer-songwriter Disco Puppet aka Shoumik Biswas has a way not just with words and melodies, but also with visuals in their wholly DIY animated music video for the song “Speak Low.” Two silhouetted animallike figures give each other chase through forests, water and the sky in the video, which even features a likeness of Biswas as a fluffy cloud figure singing the chorus. The animated characters journey through clouds, mazes and even the heart in this enchanting amalgam. – ANURAG TAGAT

9 Rono – “Lost & Lonely”

IT’S AN ADDED BONUS when, as a musician, you know your way around a camera pretty well, like Mumbai singer-songwriter Rono does. The musician, who also doubles up as a photographer and videographer, stitched together quite a cozy clip for his ambient yet soulful track “Lost & Lonely.” The music video – shot by Taab Arshad and Rono – features the singer-songwriter and his friends dancing in a silly manner around their living rooms, while the lighting oscillates between a musky yellow to a moody purple. — DAVID BRITTO

8 Aarifah – “Now She Knows”
