- Apr 7, 2017
AceShowbiz - Less than a week since the release of single "Come Closer", Wizkid unleashed its accompanying music video on Thursday, April 6. The DAPS-directed video looks simple yet authentic as the Nigerian singer dances lightly among scantily-clad female dancers who twerk and do a kind of African dance moves. Meanwhile, his collaborator, Drake, doesn't show up throughout the three-minute clip.
In the vibrant visuals, Wizkid promotes African culture by featuring heritage African dance and dark-skinned beauties with African tribal makeups. The track itself is groovy and catchy, on which Wizkid and Drake throw subtle shade at their enemies through the lyrics.
Fans' responses, meanwhile, are mostly focused on Drake's absence in the music video. A fan commented, "This seems rushed. Wizkid should have waited to have Drake before releasing the video. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity and he just made it less monumental with this half-a**ed video smh." Another fan predicted this, writing below the video, "I knew Drake was not gonna be there as usual lol."
"Come Closer" is the lead single off Wizzy's upcoming RCA records debut, "Sounds From the Other Side", which is expected to be released this year. The track also marks the rapper's third collaboration with Drake after "Ojuelegba" remix and "One Dance".
