Trailblazing Nigerian singer-songwriter Tim Lyre presents the cinematic visuals for his heart-achingly vulnerable hit single Confess, the first single from Tim’s forthcoming project Masta and premiering on TRACE Africa.
Directed by the groundbreaking eye of Nollywood visionary Buhari Yesufu of Comebackhomewemissyou, a rags to riches storyline plays out with Tim playing a construction worker who yearns to be recognised for his true value as a performer, battling against the daily grind, his boss and his peers to reach notoriety, all set to an industrial yet vibrant Lagos backdrop.
Having recently been tipped by TIDAL as One to Watch in 2023, Tim Lyre has been on a meteoric trajectory in recent months, following his debut headline show and performance at Sofar Sounds in London in December, and with hit features like Feel Something, a fan-favourite on Show Dem Camp’s Palm Wine Music Vol. 3, as well as These Days, one of the stand-out tracks from Ejoya’s Class of ‘22 compilation.
