With its ethereal yet steel-strong vocals, wistful atmospherics, poignant synths and muffled percussion, Options the song is accompanied by a self-produced and self-directed video.

Together the song and the video make up an all-encompassing project, which shines a light on one of the most exciting, emerging cross-genre artist’s on the scene right now.

The South African-born B O K E H (AKA Chloë Lewer) grew up in New Zealand before moving across the other side of the world to settle in Germany, where she has been based for the last eight years.

With a background in filmmaking, acting, and directing, Chloë fell into making music through playing the ukulele and singing on the streets of Berlin.

Now under the moniker of B O K E H, she is set to make her mark with Options, which she describes as a project “dedicated to “anyone who has ever felt repressed due to their true desires, gender or sexuality, like I have.”

“Options is about moving forward, plunging into the unknown and finding your own sense of pleasure and freedom in what you want and who you want to be,” adds Chloë.

The video, which Chloë made under the umbrella of her own audio-visual production company Ramona Ramona, alongside choreographer Franka Marlene Foth, features dancer Daniel Asamoah.

Not merely the usual illustration of the song, the film is a story in itself with its own narrative and protagonist, Dominic, played by Asamoah.

“Dominic hides his desire to be a professional dancer and his true sexuality. He is trapped inside a square box. One day a week he hires a private dance studio, a space where he can let go, be his real self and find his own validation. We see Dominic dancing his internal battles with his identity, gender and sexuality, until he loses his inhibitions and fears, finally claiming his own body, desires and choices.”
