Nigeria-raised/Indianapolis-based R&B artiste, Teeklef, presents the newest video for his first release of 2019 “Calling“; out 1/25/19 via HipNavi Sound, “Calling” is the first video from Teeklef‘s upcoming Afro-Pop EP. Last year saw the release of singles, “Over 100” and “Day Ones,” as well as a team-up with Jillionaire of Major Lazer for the Afrobeat offering titled “Apart,” via Feel Up Records.
In 2018, following a long-awaited return trip to his birthplace of Lagos, Nigeria, Teeklef returned to the studio energized; he began writing and recording what would be the beginning of a series of EPs, which reflect the diversity of cultures that make up Teeklef as a musician and as a human. “Calling” is a song that flows from memories of driving the streets of Lagos at night; sonically, it merges the sounds of Afrobeat and Hip-Hop, and lyrically, it flips between Nigerian dialect and English.
The video chases Teeklef around the streets of Chicago, as he chases a love interest from one scenic location to another; directed by Jay Caves, the video finds Teeklef on the beach, at a carnival and ultimately, on a ferris wheel in one cinematically stunning environment after another – watch and share your thoughts. | ENJOY!!!
