Bat For Lashes, also known as Natasha Khan, is a British singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for her ethereal, almost mystical sound and enchanting visual style. She is a true artist in every meaning of the word, with a discography that ranges from haunting ballads to synth-infused dance tracks, showcasing the depth and breadth of her talent. But her mark on the industry isn't confined to just the auditory space, as she’s also known for her visually riveting music videos, adopting a cinematic approach that many directors just dream of achieving, and she often co-directs her videos to keep them aligned with her vision.
Her videos are not just beautiful to look at, they are imaginative and thematically rich, filled with high concepts and arresting imagery. One of the most notable examples is her video for "Daniel", a nostalgic nod to her teenage years, it features a surreal dreamlike sequence with a mysterious man-tiger hybrid. An odd feature to mention, this man-tiger ends up getting an equal amount of fame. Meanwhile, the video for "Laura" takes a different path, opting for a starkly minimalistic style that highlights the raw emotion evident in Khan’s piercing vocals.
Through her videos, Bat For Lashes demonstrates an understanding of the interplay between music and image, meticulously crafting pieces that add a narrative layer to her songs. It's not every day you see an artist who can play the piano while running through a forest in a sequined cloak, or dance with a man-tiger in a dream with such grace. Her ability to create a visual spectacle that supports and elevates her music has made a lasting impact in the industry, fostering a more complete sensory experience for her listeners.
