Fresh off topping the debut Billboard Afrobeats chart, Ckay has dropped the official music video for his hit single “Emiliana.” Following the huge success of the song, fans have been hoping to see some accompanying visuals and CKay has finally delivered a befitting video to begin the new month with.
Directed by Ahmed Mosh for A Ladder, Lex, and Booker production and styled by Abxtractxtyling, the new video captures CKay and his beautiful companion in a picturesque, beachside setting where he serenades her sweetly on his guitar. The colourful, soft ambiance of the video provides the perfect backdrop for this smooth, mid-tempo Afro-fusion song and CKay’s soothing vocals.
The cinematography for the video must be commended, as the visuals were captured with care and attention to detail, teleporting viewers to a nice, warm holiday destination. The scenes are well-paced and vivid without being overwhelming to the eye; you feel like you can almost taste the sea salt. With more than 24,000 views and several thousands of likes on YouTube in the first four hours of its release, the video is clearly making waves already.
After the huge success of his Boyfriend EP, which featured the global smash hit Love Nwantiti, the Nigerian singer seems to be extending his winning streak with this sultry song and video. Enjoy the video below!
