South African chart-topping, multi-platinum artist, and three-time SAMA-nominated pop sensation Daniel Baron has kicked off 2025 with a bang, unveiling the official music video for his highly anticipated single ‘Up At Night’.
This sultry, high-energy pop-club banger marks Baron’s powerful return to his dance anthem roots, blending his signature genre-defying style with a hypnotic love letter wrapped in irresistible beats.
Directed by the acclaimed Matthew Marinus, the video is an intimate black-and-white masterpiece that captures the raw intensity of love and connection.
A mesmerising and sensual visual experience
Featuring Baron and his wife in a series of mesmerising, sensual moments, the visual perfectly complements the track’s dark, sultry tones and exotic energy.
Its stripped-back aesthetic ensures the music remains the focal point, creating a timeless and emotionally charged experience for viewers.
“This song and video hold a deeply personal place in my heart,” shares Baron. “Collaborating with my wife on this project made it even more special. It’s a celebration of connection, passion, and the magic of creating something meaningful together, “said Baron.
