Navajo EDM Artist Elet Films Tempe Video for Bullet, the Single Set to Lead His Second Album and Mix French With His Heritage-Driven Sound
TEMPE, AZ — Elet is putting a new spotlight on his blend of R&B, EDM and Navajo identity with a music video shoot in Tempe for his song “Bullet.” The artist, who writes, produces and performs his own material, stepped in front of the camera on Aug. 29 to film the track that will appear on his second album.
The video gives fans an early look at a release he is treating as both a personal statement and a musical reset. Elet has said the title “Bullet” comes from a love so deep he would “take a bullet” for it, which gives the song an emotional hook before the full project arrives next month.
How Elet is building on his last album
Elet’s upcoming album follows 2022’s “Smoke and Mirrors,” a project that already showed how deliberately he folds language and identity into his sound. On that record, he used the Navajo language in his songs, something he says carried spiritual meaning rather than serving as a surface-level reference.
For the new music, he is adding French to the mix, extending the multilingual approach that has helped define his work. The shift suggests an artist who is still experimenting, but not drifting away from the roots that shaped him. Instead, he is turning those influences into a clearer part of his signature as he moves toward album No. 2.
Why his heritage matters in the music
Elet says Navajo heritage remains one of the biggest forces behind what he creates. He has described his work as part of a wider need for more Navajo artists and more entertainment media shaped by Navajo voices, especially in spaces where that representation is still limited.
“You don’t really see a lot of Navajo, or people with Navajo heritage that are making artistic or entertainment media,” he said. “So, I think we can, especially my work, hopefully that drives people to move in that direction.”
That perspective frames the Tempe shoot as more than a standard promo stop. For Elet, the music video is another chance to connect sound, language and heritage in a way he hopes will resonate with listeners who want something personal as well as danceable.
What fans can expect when the album drops
Elet plans to release the album next month, and the project will be available on Spotify and Apple Music. While the track list was not detailed, “Bullet” already appears positioned as a key song in the rollout, especially because it is being introduced with a video and a clear emotional backstory.
The Tempe shoot also signals that the campaign around the new album is underway. With a second full-length project on the way, fans of his previous work now have a clearer sense of where he is headed: toward a release that keeps the EDM energy in place while widening the palette with language, heritage and a more personal narrative.
