Beldon Haigh Shares A Cinematic Masterpiece Of Sound & Storytelling

Beldon Haigh's latest track, "Paper Tiger", captivates with its compelling music and delivers a visually stunning narrative through its top-notch music video. The production quality is undeniably good (just like every Beldon Haigh release to be fair), and it creates a cinematic experience that perfectly complements the song's thematic exploration.

The storytelling in the music video is a standout feature that goes beyond the usual imagery of singers lip singing and delves into a vivid tale. The video unfolds the fall of a man within the intriguing setting of a casino, capturing the essence of the song's exploration of superficiality, illusory grandeur, and the façade of ostensible power. The choice of a casino as the backdrop adds metaphorical richness, symbolizing the gamble of life and the risks associated with chasing illusions.

The video's narrative invites viewers to look beyond the glitzy veneer of virtual displays, prompting a deeper reflection on the realities that lurk beneath the surface.

In my opinion, this track stands out as Beldon Haigh's best work to date, even considering their frequent releases. It showcases a different facet of the band, leaning more towards a pop sound, away from their rock roots, while showcasing Justin Skelton's vocal prowess even more (without forgetting Fiona Lynch's backing vocals in the chorus!). The choice to explore a more pop-oriented style brings a refreshing dynamic to their repertoire, demonstrating versatility and their power of innovation.
