Nigerian singer Keziah Jones is back on the scene with a single called Afronewave. The funky single is from his upcoming album Captain Rugged which is also the name of the singer’s alter-ego as seen in this video. Taking us on what feels like an adventure through the streets of Lagos, a shirtless Captain Rugged is adorned in a cape and like a true superhero he gives the impression that he is charge!
Afronewave features an awesome blend of funk, rock, and elements of a more traditional sound. Besides the interesting shots of Lagos and the fashion-forward African print pieces, Keziah’s vocals are as smooth and soulful as ever. The video left me dreaming of Lagos, wanting my own cape, and anxiously waiting for the new album. I also can’t help but laugh at the thought of shooting such a playful video in the streets of Lagos, adventure indeed!
