John Blaq is carving himself space in the music world through sheer will and hard work. He managed to jump the negative impact of parting ways with his former management, working at different recording studio, pushing music online and other media and independently releasing music. Off the shelf his the “Mbimala” video. An Afro fusion tune has an instantly infectious chorus that inspires feel-good vibes.
And further showing his growth as an artist,John Blaq released a big budget, cinematic music video for the track shot by Swangz Avenue films and directed by Marvin Musoke. He sings of manifestation of live by letting his lover lay all her burdens to him saying he has it handled. He soon has his own Pleasantville moment, as he moves in an expensive Chevrolet splashing cash trying to woo a girl then he finds himself relaxing at a pool side mesmerised by a beautiful vixen. We are then taken to a golf course where he is stunned by two models before he is takes one on a horse ride all this happening at once. One can’t fail to notice the choreography by the only dancer in the video, she moves rythmically to the beats of the song. Choice of scenery was smartly booked, the lighting didn’t disappoint credit to the director.
It’s refreshing to see an artist take a leap and make a music video that visualizes their song in ambitious and imaginative ways.
