Unpopular music now has a front seat in the industry. While there’s still a power tussle between the unconventionality of Afrofusion and the permanence of Afrobeat and its derivatives, the former is here to stay and singers like Mannywellz, are powering this movement. Towards the end of 2020, the US-based Nigerian singer, shared Mirage, a seven-track ode to a utopia his creativity afforded him. With the project still basking in praises, he returns this week with the video for Tems-assisted standout track, Peace.
The Matthew Allen and Quinci Bryant produced TRACK has been hailed as the best cut from the project, not only because of its sweeping percussion-driven instrumental but because Tems and Mannywellz give off perfect tag team vibes. In this minimalist and nature hugging video, they prove this.
Under Quinci Bryant and Sarah Lorentzen’s tutelage, the complementary pair prove they understand exactly what narrative means. Alone in a desert, they relish in their freedom and loneliness, spotlighting the upward movement that prompts the song.
The lushness of the earthy backdrops, the juxtaposition of nature against the toxicity they desire to get rid of, and their general demeanors, posits Mannywellz and Tems at the top of the league, again speaking to the fact that mainstream music is getting a new meaning.
