Mihhail 'Dream Blunt' by Martin Pihlap

Promonews - 16th Jan 2026

Martin Pihlap directs the hypnotic yet intimate music video for LA-based Estonian artist Mihhail Zigadlo.

The director - his video for Jessica2010's Week Ago gained a Newcomer nomination at last year's UKMVAs, and he recently signed to Pulse in London - has shot the video for Dream Blunt as a behind the scenes glimpse into a spontaneous recording session, capturing Mihhail with an unfiltered, dream-esque lens.

Embracing lo-fi intimacy, Pihlap’s direction takes the video to another level with trippy visual textures punctuated by surreal moments including recurring imagery of a mysterious owl. Filmed in Estonian countryside, the forest landscape is an almost hallucinatory backdrop to reflect Mihhail's soothing, Autotune-enhanced vocals.
