Emilia Tawan and Elliot Hedberg Create a Compelling Story in the Music Video for "Like a Storm"

When a single moment—or a single person—suddenly changes the way we see the world, the effect can be transformative. Sixteen-year-old singer Emilia Tawan captures this in her song "Like a Storm," an energy-filled pop track released on August 28, 2026. Now, the song’s emotional power comes to life in a visually striking music video directed by 19-year-old Elliot Hedberg, offering viewers a new opportunity to experience its message.

At the heart of "Like a Storm" lies the power of love to change not only feelings but also perspectives and outlook on life. Emilia’s expressive singing leads the song, backed by rhythmic bass, driving drum loops, sweeping synths, and ringing guitars—an arrangement that conveys both the euphoria and uncertainty of falling in love. The song, written by Robert Ekroth and James Robert Chin A Loi, explores how strong emotions can challenge ingrained thought patterns and open up unexpected emotional pathways.

The music video, which has just premiered, is the result of Hedberg’s careful direction and production. Elliot Hedberg, who is studying Practical Film at Stockholm Filmskola, brings a developed sense for visual tempo and rhythm. His work intertwines self-shot material with carefully selected stock clips, where color, movement, and tempo depict the song’s emotional weather changes. The result showcases both technical skill and the ability to tell stories through visual language.

The story in the video is carried by Emilia Tawan herself and 17-year-old Caspian Lovén. Lovén has solid experience in musical and theater, including from Kulturhuset Stadsteatern, as well as dance performances at the Nobel Banquet. In the music video, the interplay between Emilia and Caspian becomes a central driving force, where their movements and expressions reflect the push and pull and dynamics of relationships. The dance functions as its own language—it expresses longing, change, and togetherness beyond what words or melody alone can convey.

Hedberg’s direction further heightens the song’s contrasts and tones. Through his YouTube-based platform Steel Screen Films, Elliot demonstrates the breadth of his filmmaking and combines a new talented expression with strong ambition. The exact balance between original and stock material in the video is well judged and contributes to the overall experience. On Steel Screen Films’ channel, viewers can explore more of Elliot’s projects and follow his development as both a student and filmmaker.

For Emilia Tawan, "Like a Storm" marks yet another step toward defining her musical identity. She moves freely between pop, pop rock, and ballad traditions and uses her skills at keyboard, bass, and in dance to shape an expression that is her own. The music video in collaboration with Hedberg and Lovén broadens the vision, where the visual becomes as strong as the soundscape.

In summary, the music video for "Like a Storm" is proof of the creativity that arises when young talents meet across different art forms. Together, they transform a pop song into a carefully crafted story about emotions, movement, and imagery—one that lingers long after the screen goes dark.
