Eniola Akinbo, known to the entertainment world as Niyola, has sent pulse rising with the release of a video for the remix to her Headies award-nominated single ‘Love to Love You’.
Produced by New York based producer IExist, the remix sees the singer/songwriter paired with rap heavyweights Phyno, Lynxxx, Sarkodie and Poe.
Eschewing a traditional online single release, Niyola teamed with a revamped Made Magazine and the fashion photographer and Africa’s Next Top Model judge Remi Adetiba to create a visual experience that embodied the edgy, sexy, yet playful vibe of the track.
The Ilesha, Osun born artiste who was quoted by the magazine as saying “if I had to show off my body, it would have to be artsy and tasteful,” gave fans a generous view of her midriff and other parts in different stages of undress.
Styled by Made creative director Tokyo James, the fashion film and photos were shot at multiple locations in Lagos and are, according to Adetiba, “a different, more multidimensional way to approach the single release in Nigeria’s increasingly digital music market.”
Niyola, also known as Miss Nini hopes to work with 2face Idibia, Praiz and Waje someday.
