Naira Marley Releases Mellow Video for Montego Bay; Uncovering a New Side Of His Artistic Self.

Coming from his highly anticipated album God’s Timing’s The Best, the track and music video 'Montego Bay' permits us, the audience, to become wanderlust in a mindset of escapism.

Directed by Dammy Twitch, we are depicted a romantic, picturesque, and vibrant timeline of intimate lovers on the run across the idyllic tourist attraction of Montego Bay. As we enter the exciting season of summer, and complemented by Naira Marley's soothing vocals, the yearn for peace and tranquillity from life's hectic environments becomes the main priority. The warmth from the video and afro-pop melody is exuded from our devices, and places us in a fantastical, adventurous escapade. Receiving an avant-garde taste with this song, we stray away from the upbeat, fast paced, party lifestyle that we usually encounter in Naira's music...marrying influences from the diaspora, the Yoruba language and UK rap to produce an authentic track.

Naira's musical library includes some of the most popular African singles of all time. From dancing anthems such as

'Soapy' (which immediately went to No.1 in Nigeria), 'Issa Goal' (the semi-official hymn for the Nigeria football team), and 'Coming'. Naira can connect the world like no other, doing it on a global scale.

Superb and beautifully assembled, check out the music video below!
