Just Catch is not just a song; it's an anthem that captures the spirit of diversity and celebration that defines Singaporean arts and culture.

Singapore's arts and culture scene is a kaleidoscope of colours, sounds, and stories, reflecting the city's rich heritage and vibrancy. To celebrate this dynamic tapestry, Catch, Singapore's largest arts content portal, has released an electrifying music video, Just Catch, that invites everyone to immerse themselves in the city's artistic offerings.

Star-studded, stylish, and very Singaporean

Set to an infectious beat, the music video features an all-star lineup of Singaporean musical talents, including Aisyah Aziz, Shye, Sezairi, and Abangsapau. Each artist brings their unique style and energy to the track, creating a captivating blend of sounds that encapsulates the diversity of Singapore's music scene.

The toe-tapping, head-bobbing start of the piece is layered with accents that are indelibly Singaporean, and as the brief to the brilliant composer and producer Josh Wei went: “but don’t make it sound like an NDP song”, it most assuredly is not. Based off K-Pop artist Sorn’s track Rowdy (also composed and produced by Wei), the song’s beat swerves and weaves with relatable lyrics penned by singer-songwriter Linying, and an energetic verse by rapper Abangsapau.

Declaration of intent: this is our arts scene

The music video is not just a feast for the ears but also a visual spectacle that showcases the breadth and depth of Singapore's arts and culture scene.

Featuring an array of arts practitioners from various genres, including the celebrated photographer AikBeng Chia, theatre veteran Ivan Heng, film director He Shuming, writer Daryl Qilin Yam, Bhaskar's Arts Academy, the Singapore Lyric Opera, the Singapore Chinese Dance Theatre, among others, this music video highlights the collaborative nature of Singapore's arts community.

At its core, Just Catch is a call to action for all Singaporeans and visitors to explore and engage with the local arts and culture scene. From theatre to photography, classical to contemporary, there's something for everyone to discover and enjoy.

The video serves as an invitation to step out and Just Catch the rich tapestry of arts and culture that Singapore has to offer, and a reminder that art is not merely to be observed, but also to be experienced, participated in, and shared.
