Kele Le Roc’s ‘Creep’ Visual Is A Cinematic Dive Into Identity and Human Emotion
Kele Le Roc’s latest creative endeavor is more than a cover – it’s a reimagining. The UK Garage icon returns with a powerful rendition of Radiohead’s ‘Creep’, presented through a cinematic lens in a visually arresting short film and single. This fusion of music and visual narrative invites audiences into a haunting exploration of emotion, identity, and artistic integrity in the age of AI.
Directed by Chris Manoe, the short film casts Kele in three different iterations of herself, each reflecting a fractured element of personal identity. It’s a vivid metaphor for how digital replication affects how artists are seen – and how they see themselves.
“‘Creep’ has always spoken to that feeling of being seen and unseen at the same time,” Kele states. “I wanted to explore what that means in an age when artists are being digitally cloned and replaced. The song’s fragility — its truth — still belongs to human emotion, not code.”
The film’s atmosphere is both futuristic and intimate. Fashion and emotion are interwoven into a storyline supported by a lush soundscape, produced by Desmond Lambert, Alle Pearse, Chris Manoe, Ross O’Reilly, and Kele herself.
A key motif is the Ferrari 458 Spider, featured prominently as a symbol of desire, speed, and inner conflict – a reflection of the digital world’s seductive pull.
