Enchanting London-based star Michelle O Faith, who released her epic Black Lolita video and Lagoon, Vol I and II in the last year has made her return with a fierce song and iconic video for “Half Naija”.
She gives life to the Universe But I swear, I swear Yeah, I swear Who gon’ love you, gon’ love you like her? Who gon’ f*ck you like her? Who gon’ move you like her? So, who could really do it like her? Her
“Half Naija” is a really cinematic and exquisite self-produced Afrobeat-inspired track fused with the instantly recognisable alt-pop vibe that Michelle O Faith has cemented for herself and with a fresh insight into her ancestry.
Born to a Ugandan mother and Nigerian father, “Half Naija” sees Michelle put her heritage on proud display; and break new ground sonically as she draws on inspiration from popular African female artists including Tems and Aya Nakamura.
All the while, Michelle stays anchored in her striking, operatic-tinged vocal that has garnered her comparison to Lana Del Rey and Kate Bush, and her penchant for a provocative, layered lyric.
“Half Naija” official music video is based on a Storyboard/Treatment by Michelle O Faith; and is just as cinematic as the popular “Black Lolita” music video.
The video sees elaborate and artistic scenes that show how deserving O Faith really is of the big leagues.
As a black woman You are expected to carry the world on your back Whilst being made to feel there were no space for you in it. So, then, you try to create a space Only to be told you are taking up too much. So be it. I am too much Too bold, too fearless, too unapologetic, Too loud, too passionate, too aggressive, Too sexy, too desirable. I am Half Naija..
