Myles Smith 'My First Heartbreak' by Femi Oladigbolu
Promonews - 12th May 2025
Femi Oladigbolu dramatises singer-songwriter Myles Smith's personal story of family breakup in the video for My First Heartbreak.
A young man walks through an empty house and finds an old-style phone with answering machine, playing the message from a father to his sons. The man then becomes his younger self, listening to the message for the first time. The memories of the adult and the experience of the child are intertwined, which underscores the traumatic experience of the story of a father abandoning his family.
"I was truly moved by the vulnerability in the track," says Oladigbolu. "Its raw honesty wasn't too distant from my own experiences. I felt a deep connection to the lyrics and sought to weave that same truth and relatability into something his audience could genuinely feel."
