Anny
Multiple awards winning Gospel singer, Anne Emmanuel, popularly known as Anny has shot a new video to her previously released hit single, ‘Happy Day’, which featured rapper, Freestyle. The Video was shot on locations in Lagos and was directed by Nodash, winner of The Most Promising Music Video Director category at the Nigerian Music Video Awards (NMVA) in 2011 and the costumes were provided by the House of Urban Denim. The theme of the upbeat dance single, which is off her third album, and has the production imprints of Mekoyo, is to let go of all the troubles of this world and getting lost in the joy that comes from praises. This is another way the singer is redefining gospel music in Nigeria and giving more life to it. Speaking concerning the new video, Anny said, “The success of the song and how much it is inspiring a lot of people led to the shoot of the video. “Besides, good songs move and penetrate faster with good video. As the saying goes, what you see sticks more with you for a long time to come.” Anny released her first album, ‘Your Mercy’ in 2009. She is a recipient of several awards, including Best Gospel Artiste of the Year 2009 at the Appreciation of Women in Entertainment and Art in London. As a gifted gospel artiste, she has performed on the same platforms around the world and in Nigeria with prominent international and local gospel artistes.
Morell shut down Deuces Nite Club for music video shoot The upscale Island club, Deuces, known for hosting only the crème de la crème was virtually shut down a few days ago from 4 p.m. up until after midnight for the Bento Recordz recording artiste, Morell. The rising musician, whose first music video “Oxygen”, was directed by Mark Hoffmyer in South Africa, decided to work with the gifted Nigerian music video director, Patrick Elis, this time after seeing the wonders the visual whizz-kid did with Shank’s ‘Ghetto’ video. Industry personalities and stars like Gabriel Afolayan, Praiz, Rayce, 5 Mics, Dammy Krane, Uche, Crozz, and Dipp made celebrity guest appearances on set, in special cameo roles for the video shoot of Morell’s ‘Ko Si Pressure’. The premium African music channel, Soundcity, was also on location to observe and report from behind the scenes, while the maverick publicist and documentary filmmaker, James Amuta, was commissioned by Bento Recordz to produce the official behind-the-scenes documentary. The pristine white environment of Deuces Nite Club and the extraordinarily gorgeous models on the set are clear indications that this video would be something to look forward to. Filmed with the RED Epic, the producers are positive the image quality of the videotape would be top notch, since a very few music video directors have dared to use this highly expensive professional digital cinema camera to produce a music video.
Morell
Patrick Elis definitely brought his A-game to the table, while Morell and Bento Recordz seem to be saying to the industry that being relatively fresh in the game is not excuse to settle for anything but the best – always.
