Meji Alabi and Leigh-Anne celebrate Nigeria's rich culture in the pulsating video for My Love, featuring Ayra Starr. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Lagos, Alabi's video for the ex-Little Mix star weaves elements of local fashion, dance, and the country's stunning landscapes into the narrative. The video features local actors and dancers, offering viewers a glimpse into the authenticity and diversity of Nigerian talent, creating a visual experience that perfectly complements the joyous essence of the song. It's a real tour de force, interweaving thrilling performance vignettes and energetic choreography at a truly ambitious scale - and great cinemagraphy from Alabi's regular collaborator Stefan Yap.It's quite a statement for the artist now stepping out as a solo performer - and demonstrating that she can really dance - working with a director reaching greater heights than ever before.
