Venna ft Jorja Smith 'Myself' by Yen Espinoza

Promonews - 5th Sept 2025

Yen Espinoza directs and shoots the video for South London saxophonist and producer Venna's collaboration with Jorja Smith, celebrating the beauty and strength of all women.

The video for Myself is a combination of portraiture and performance, featuring models, dancers, Venna and Jorja captured on 16mm film with a warmth that matches the relaxed nature of the track. The release of the video coincides with the release of Venna's debut album Malik

"Myself is an ode to choosing yourself and your peace in times when we feel conflicted in what we should do," says Venna. "When the instrumental was being made Jorja Smith was the one and only person I really thought of for the record and she assisted me in making a record that I know is very special and honest. Jorja is a special artist and I’m happy that the music spoke to her in a way where she could feel free and create in the way she did.”
