Six days ago, Nigerian Afrobeats singer Konstance teamed up with fellow star Majeeed to release the official music video for ‘My Heart’. In the short Bushboy Films direction, the Lagosian lies on five different mattresses, like in the Danish literary fairy tale, ‘The Princess and the Pea’, near a static blob of a being. He sings to ask if he gives her peace, if he puts a smile on her face, and generally wants to know what’s on her mind.

After pacing the bedroom on the corded phone and standing in the void with cupid arrows piercing his body, he turns on an old desktop computer and sees her moving there duplicated on the screen. Next, the Lagos State University student sings about wanting to buy her man the world if she could. In the next frame, Konstance swings from a chandelier in a red room whilst carolling about potentially rewarding him if he takes away her pain.

For someone who emerged into the music business last year, the lead singer, just nineteen, has quite the resume. She collaborated with Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins on ‘The Color Purple’ soundtrack, won a Breakthrough Talent prize at the Silverbird Awards last year, acted in Idris Elba-direction ‘Dust to Dream’ alongside British music icon Seal, and was a top ten finalist on Nigerian Idol!

The single ‘My Heart’ is a taste of what her forthcoming debut EP ‘In the Beginning’ could be. In anticipation of what’s to come, watch the well-directed music video featuring Majeeed below.
