Kele Le Roc, long celebrated for her genre-defining contributions to UK Garage, takes a daring artistic leap with her latest project – a reimagining of Radiohead’s ‘Creep’ released as a single and an evocative short film. The multi-layered work, created in collaboration with British filmmaker Chris Manoe, is a bold exploration of selfhood and creativity in a time of rapid digital evolution.
With a narrative shaped around themes of identity, artistic vulnerability, and AI’s growing influence, Kele portrays three versions of herself, each one more fragmented. These versions reflect a central question: what remains of human emotion when it intersects with technology?
“‘Creep’ has always spoken to that feeling of being seen and unseen at the same time,” Kele explains. “I wanted to explore what that means in an age when artists are being digitally cloned and replaced. The song’s fragility — its truth — still belongs to human emotion, not code.”
The short film’s aesthetic is defined by Samuel Hosier’s lens, delivering a neo-noir experience grounded in realism. Featuring appearances from KAi Le Roc and Angel Le Roc, the film crafts a visual space that is emotionally resonant and stylistically bold. Music production is helmed by Desmond Lambert, Alle Pearse, Ross O’Reilly, Chris Manoe, and Kele herself.
The inclusion of a Ferrari 458 Spider, courtesy of the Charles Gordon Trust, offers a strong visual motif, tying in themes of glamour, danger, and digital seduction.
Part of the forthcoming TRINITY album due in 2026, this release signals a continued evolution in Kele’s artistic journey. From orchestral performances to acclaimed acting roles, she proves once again that reinvention can be both fearless and profoundly human.
