Nigerian music superstar Olamide has shared audio and visuals for ‘Rock’, the first single from his forthcoming album, ‘UY Scuti’.
The video for ‘Rock’, was directed by renowned Nigerian director Clarence Peters, takes viewers inside a noir vision of Lagos, starring Olamide and dancer Soliat Bada, as flirtatious lovers plotting a rendezvous. Rising Nigerian beatmaker Eskeez, who handles the lion’s share of production on ‘UY Scuti’, produced the intimate, mid-tempo Afrobeats scorcher.
According to Olamide, the song relays a message to his lady that she does not have to do too much to impress him as he loves her already. The song expresses what a guy would sing to a girl to give her confidence.
‘Rock’ has garnered over a million views on YouTube since it’s release on May 14th 2021.
The ten-track LP, Olamide’s third new music project in just over a year, is set for release on June 14th 2021 through a partnership between his own YBNL Nation imprint and US indie powerhouse, EMPIRE.
