With the Afrobeats scene boasting its own superstars, the Western world is finally sitting up and paying attention.
Case in point with Davido.
The Nigerian wonder was recently signed to a US deal with RCA Records and has teamed with label-mate Tinashe for his latest release ‘How Long.’
Frank Borin helms the track’s official video, which premiered moments ago.

Not bad.
Sure, the autotune gave us an earache, but the flavoursome production compensates. Tinashe, who is of Zimbabwean heritage herself, rides the beat well and is believable in this lane. Both musically and visually.
It’s anyone’s guess what’s going on with her ‘Joyride’ LP, but it could be cool to see her inject more of her African roots into her music. After all, it’s a relatively open lane as far as R&B girls go.
