South African music icons Msaki and Jesse Clegg are blurring the lines between sound and screen.

The duo has officially unveiled the "Entropy" short film, a breathtaking visual companion to their collaborative EP that transforms their music into a cohesive, immersive narrative.

Far from a standard music video collection, this project is a cinematic journey through the highs and lows of the human experience that invites audiences deeper into their shared creative universe.

Far from a standard music video collection, the project was developed over three years, with production spanning iconic global creative hubs from Johannesburg and Cape Town to Los Angeles and New York.

The resulting film acts as a layered, visual meditation on loss, transformation and rebirth, mirroring the personal growth of both Msaki and Clegg while capturing the fleeting moments of vulnerability that define their partnership.

Directed by Marty Bleazard, the film is structured as six interconnected chapters. Rather than following a rigid, linear plot, it functions as an interpretive experience, allowing the audience to project their own emotions onto the screen and find their own reflections within the story.

"Once we had decided on a short film in six parts, there was no going back... the 'Entropy' cinematic universe became real, a reckless love story set against the backdrop of Joburg.

"Each song on this EP is magical, and I hope everyone connects to the story and characters in some way,” shares Bleazard through a statement. 

In a world full of short clips, "Entropy" proves that deep storytelling still matters.

By mixing music, beautiful visuals and raw emotion, it becomes more than just a project; it’s a work of art.

As the final part of their journey, it invites you to do more than just listen; it asks you to see and feel the music in a whole new way.
