By Jason Pena

SAINt JHN, known for his ability to push the boundaries of music, fashion, and visual art, has released the official music video for his recent single, “Circles.” True to his signature style, the video is more than just a visual accompaniment; it’s an artistic statement that brings his music to life with bold, avant-garde visuals and intricate narratives.

Directed by Alex Gargot and filmed in the vibrant city of Barcelona, the “Circles” music video is a visual and sonic masterpiece. It captivates viewers with its cinematic storytelling and striking imagery, showcasing SAINt JHN’s exploration of duality—vulnerability and invincibility. The video’s narrative features SAINt JHN pushing a massive stone down a red carpet, surrounded by flashing cameras and microphones. As he moves forward, he faces an unseen threat symbolized by a gun barrel, yet he remains defiant, lying on the red carpet with a bullet wound, continuing to sing as the press circles around him. The use of revolving mirrors and circular camera angles throughout the video subtly reinforces the “Circles” theme.

Fashion, a cornerstone of SAINt JHN’s artistic identity, plays a key role in the video. He seamlessly blends luxury streetwear and high fashion, sporting pieces like vintage Pelle Pelle leathers, Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton Timberlands, tailored Marine Serre suits, and classic Saint Laurent boots. This fearless approach to style is integral to his visual storytelling, adding layers to the video’s narrative.

As SAINt JHN prepares to release a series of highly anticipated new music and visuals, “Circles” serves as a glimpse into his artistic evolution. His effortless ability to fuse art, music, and fashion has solidified his status as a multi-hyphenate creative force. With this video, he continues to break new ground, proving once again that he is in a lane of his own.
