GÜLAY — VUR, ÜRƏYİM, cover

A performance film built around presence

Gülay is an established Azerbaijani pop and estrada artist. For Vur, Ürəyim, she wanted to bring a fashion-editorial sensibility into a contemporary music video.

25BUREAU conceived and produced a performance film centred on minimal movement, emotional isolation and the artist’s screen presence.

The direction

Keeping the artist at the centre

Instead of translating the lyrics into a linear narrative, we built the film around Gülay alone. Sparse studio settings and controlled movement give her emotions space while keeping the performance restrained.

The approach combines contemporary R&B references with the precision of a fashion editorial, moving away from the conventions of local music-video production.

The look

Three looks, one visual language

Three custom looks create visual range without turning Gülay into separate characters. Black and white keeps the film graphic and intimate, while gold introduces stage luxury and reflects her status as an established performer.

Close crops, layered figures and stretched images turn emotion into a graphic device. Released as a deliberate departure from traditional production, the film was recognised by audiences and local media for its visual confidence and fresh creative approach.
