REVIEW: MTCHEEEEEEEW, TIWA AND DON JAZZY,UNA NO TRY JOR!
Now, this is one of my best Tiwa Savage songs, the music video just got released about 24 hours ago and...........
As
a semi-creative writer, I had subconsciously created a mental script for this
music video and had hoped that the 'without my heart' video would at least meet
60% of my expectations, unfortunately it only met 5%-being the scene with Don
Jazzy sitting on a chair.
I'm
of the view that music videos should tell a story, not necessarily in a ‘Nollywood
like’ dramatic sense but via artistic representation. When I first heard the
lyrics of ‘without my heart’, the image of a VIP strip club came to mind-Yes, my
horny mind at work again.
I
pictured Tiwa Savage playing the role of a top-rated stripper (or go-go dancer);
her posters at the entrance of the club and of course there'll be no nudity,
Wizkid achieved that with 'Tease me'.
And
so, Don jazzy walks into the club flanked by his crew (Wande, Sid and D'prince) as
they enter the club. Wande, Sid and D'prince are overwhelmed by beautiful women
everywhere and they find their levels leaving Don Jazzy all alone. Don Jazzy
makes his way to the VIP or restricted lounge where ‘go-go girl’ Tiwa is
waiting for him...and the music starts.
The story line here is that of Tiwa's character, a top rated adult entertainer and Don Jazzy, a
major client that has fallen in love with her, or vice versa. She hopes that
Don Jazzy’s character will rescue her from this 'life of sin' and take her far
far away where they'll live happily ever after.
With
this story line, the entire song could have evolved into a creative visual medley...ending
with Don Jazzy simply walking away and leaving Tiwa on the floor...hopes dashed
or whatever. Hey, Mavin records should really have paid me to write a script
for this music video.***I’m
vexing, seriously****
Did
I also mention that the video was shot in Cape Town, South Africa? As usual: 'oyinbo' director, good visuals, poor storyline; typical SA production. And you wonder
why Nollywood is still on top in spite of her crappy visuals and pitiable audio.
PS:
I also have an idea for Psquare's Forever music video o...if una sabi Jude
Okoye,tell am make he holla me sharp sharp o. Cos if I see another Psquare
music video with Caucasian or mulatto girls and some fat bearded 'native
doctor' looking guy with big boobs, I won’t find it funny o.
