Directed by Paul Gambit (Ozzybee, Teni) the vivacious official video for ‘Dancina’ instantly matches the pulsating beat with its euphoric, synchronized choreography.

A showstopper video for a groundbreaking track - ‘Dancina’ radiates Yemi’s motivation to bring Africa’s vibrant culture to the forefront of stages worldwide. ‘Dancina’ was used as the lead track to celebrate Spotify expanding into key African territories earlier this year, these countries included Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria and Zimbabwe.

On the ‘Dancina’ video, Yemi expresses, “If you know me, you know I like to dance, and there’s no way I wouldn’t have something for the dance community. ‘Dancina’ is one of my favourite songs off the Empress album. I’m glad I was inspired to record #Dancina in Amsterdam and come home to Nigeria to shoot the video

Released earlier this year, Yemi shared her radiant dancehall video for ‘Temptation’ featuring Patoranking - which can also be found on her self-written afro-anthem LP Empress.

Yemi Alade’s long awaited return to the live stage in the UK will be at the brand-new Yam Carnival at Clapham Common, London in August. More new material to be released soon.
