Skye Newman 'Walk' by KC Locke

Rob Ulitski - 28th Apr 2026

KC Locke captures the feisty spirit of Skye Newman in a thoroughly cinematic fashion for the anthemic Walk. 

Locke's video focuses upon Newman's performance in and around a car, as she hangs out with her girlfriends and steadily builds to a fiery catharsis. 

It's understated and infectious, a great visual accompaniment to the track as well as being a classy way to convey Skye's authentic personality. As KC Locke explains, he had been waiting patiently for the opportunity to make this happen following his first experience working with the singer. 

"Working on Walk was a really meaningful opportunity to reconnect with Skye Newman after first meeting her on the Spotify campaign," he explains. "That initial collaboration gave me a strong sense of who she is as an artist. So coming into our first music video together felt like a natural progression.

"Skye is an incredibly intuitive performer, and there was a real trust from the start. she brought her initial ideas to the table and gave me the space to translate them into something that felt true to both her and my visual language.

"The track itself carries this quiet intensity. It’s about release, control, and a kind of understated defiance. I wanted the visual to sit in that same emotional space without overloading it with narrative. From the outset, the decision was to strip things back and build the film around presence rather than plot, allowing Skye’s performance to hold the frame.

"The bonfire became a central visual motif something raw, unpredictable, and consuming, reflecting the idea of letting something burn out rather than holding onto it. It gave us a living, shifting light source that added texture and imperfection to the image, which felt important in keeping everything grounded and emotionally honest."
