Veteran vocal artist and star performer Reekado Banks is back with a breathtaking new visual for his infectious tune titled “Samankwe” off his critically acclaimed “Worthy Challenger” EP.
The visual drop comes at a moment when fans are dying to see the artist rule the television screens once again. This latest release is not surprising, as Reekado has always had a reputation for providing some top-tier visual representation for his music. With this video, he injects a very artistic spirit into the life of the track’s unique sound.
The director builds the video with bold lighting and gorgeous minimalistic set designs. The production crew needs clean camera angles that flow smoothly from gloomy areas to brilliantly lit rooms. But the smart use of shadows and spot lighting gives the entire video a very slick, cinematic feel.
Reekado Banks anchors the video with loads of elegance, flaunting his cool confidence and slick dance movements. His stylish dark clothes seem stunning against the pristine background. He is still compelling to watch on TV, and once again proves that he is a natural entertainer.
The masked dancer in white gives a very mysterious and significant element to the visual storytelling. The plot touches themes of inner energy and spiritual connection, which is in touch with the deep and repetitive chanting of the music. The video takes a simple club tune and turns it into a full sensory experience with artistic dancing moves.
This film comes together wonderfully to make for a very pleasing piece of visual art. The artistic direction is a bold shift away from the cookie-cutter club videos we’re used to seeing in the business. The finished project does this successfully and leaves a lasting impression on the viewer.
This wonderful music video is a must-watch to appreciate the creativity of modern Nigerian music. Jump on YouTube now and witness the visual masterpiece on Reekado’s official channel.
