OUT NOW: ELKE LOUIE RELEASES NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR ‘KILLING TIME’
- GLOBAL REVIEWS AND NEW SHOW ANNOUNCED
Emerging indie folk singer-songwriter Elke Louie, from Gympie, Queensland, has released the official music video for her debut single ‘Killing Time’, following an overwhelmingly positive response to the track’s global launch. The single has already earned strong international reviews and reached 3,000 streams in its first week, marking a powerful introduction to her artistry.
“Killing Time” has been praised for its haunting warmth and emotional depth, with The Point Music News (Australia)calling it:
“A strong debut from Gympie’s Elke Louie. Lush, haunting indie folk that seeps deep into your soul. That chord shift and vocal slide during the chorus will get you every time.”
The official music video premiered exclusively on AMNplify and is now available on YouTube. Self-directed and filmed in Gympie, Elke created the entire clip with no budget, relying solely on family, her partner, a borrowed 4K camera, and her creative vision.
A Handmade Visual Story From a Regional Artist
Elke says the video was inspired by her long-time love of film and her regional upbringing:
“I’ve always loved film studies. When it came time to release KILLING TIME, I thought — why not try making my first real film clip myself?”
“Growing up in a small regional town teaches you to get creative with what you’ve got. Everyone pitches in, everyone has a skill, and everyone wants to see each other shine.”
“The video reflects KILLING TIME perfectly for me — quiet moments, little pauses, the parts of life that feel small but matter the most.”
Global Reviews Continue to Build Momentum
Hype Hub Magazine (USA):
“The dreamy and whispered spell of ‘Killing Time’ is a quietly compelling introduction to her art… a delivery that walks a fine line between openness and strength.”
Introvert Disco (UK):
“An intimate, slow-burning folk debut… soft yet deeply affecting, shaped by delicate fingerpicking and tender vocals.”
