Strawberry Guy 'Love Me Like You Used To' by Stone Taul
David Knight - 10th Aug 2026
Stone Taul directs an enigmatic LA-set story for Welsh singer-songwriter Strawberry Guy - aka Alex Stephens - featuring Sadie Sandler.
From a story by Stephens and shot on 35mm by DoP Natasha Abdul, Taul's video for Love Me Like You Used To has the structure of a short film, where we follow Sadie Sandler's character from the time she fails to get her father's attention and then leaves the house.
As she wanders around her neighbourhood - including visiting a 7/11 type store where Stephens is the cashier - the commonplace is combined with the extraordinary, and eventually results in a kind of epiphany.
Sadie Sandler is an engaging lead. She may be regarded as Hollywood royalty (she's the daughter of Adam) but she's relatable, even though Taul does not explain what is motivating her, leaving the viewer to draw their own conclusions.
Stephens' lushly melodic, downbeat song does not drive the narrative but it is a strong accompaniment too. So this leaves a real impression. Â
