Bridgerton's Simone Ashley finds out what really happens when one door closes and another one opens, in this stylish mind-bender from director Daniel Brown.In the video for Love Letter, we see Ashley's character receive a rejection letter, blocking her from moving forward with her passion to be a dancer. This one letter spirals into a multiverse of different pathways, including careers as a bank robber, wrestler, novelist and escape artist, each visualised in a whimsical, otherworldly manner. The problem is, the rejection letters keep coming - even the aliens don't want to abduct her. Eventually, Ashley gets a win, and it shows that perseverance does pay off, if you fight hard enough for what you want. Beautifully executed with an absorbing performance at its core, the video feels fresh and of the moment, and the flourish of animation and puppetry brings life to the ambitious concept.
