North West continues to develop her artistic abilities.

North West, the eldest child between Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, continues to be heavily involved in her dad's work. The 10-year-old phenom has been helping out with the VULTURES trilogy in many ways. She has performed onstage at various shows and listening experiences. Additionally, her singing skills were on full display on the first entry's second single "TALKING." All of this has inspired her to forge her own path, as she recently announced that she is in the process of making her first album. North West is now showing interest in directing, as a surprise second music video for "TALKING" is out now.

If you remember, right before VULTURES 1 hit streaming, Kanye dropped the track and its visuals on his social media accounts. In it, North was seen talking into her dad's ear, and Ty Dolla $ign united with his only daughter, Jailynn. That video was directed by the D'Innocenzo brothers, with cinematography being handled by Matteo Cocco. However, this new video for "TALKING" sees North West take up the reins.

In fact, she is credited with writing responsibilities too. Co-directing this effort is Aus Taylor, with post-production duties in the hands of Medet. Finally, the shots were taken by Karim Belkasemi. This video is quite different from the original. Kanye is shown a little less in this version, with North and her friends talking up more of the runtime. There is a cute moment where her and her proud dad are boxing with each other. Ty Dolla $ign does pop up in the second half but he is by himself this time. Overall, it is artfully done, and North is showing that she is a sure-fire multi-hyphenate.
