5 New Music Videos You Should Be Watching This Week

This week, I've been glued to my screen, watching the latest music videos from some of Nigeria's hottest acts, and I'm still reeling from the experience. Sometimes, a music video doesn't just accompany a song; it completely changes how you hear it. It's like they say, "video no be lyrics," but sometimes, it's hard to separate the two. With five new music videos dropped this week, featuring Victony, Fave, Adekunle Gold, Simi, Davido, and BNXN, I'm excited to share my thoughts on each one.

Adekunle Gold's latest video, "Blue Fire," featuring Simi, is a masterclass in understated elegance. The love song is a beautiful exploration of two people who know each other deeply, and the video brings that intimacy to life. Shot in warm, intimate spaces, Adekunle Gold and Simi move through the scenes with ease, making it hard to distinguish between the set and their actual relationship. The production from Kdagreat, Seyifunmi, and Kel-P is a perfect blend of Afrobeats, soft R&B, and Fuji-inspired percussion, and the visual keeps pace with that warmth throughout. It's evidence of the power of music videos in bringing a song to life.

Davido's "Gimme Dat Ting" is the perfect antidote to a Monday morning. Released on 17 July 2026 as the final single before Oriadé, this video is all about celebration. Directed by Maikell, the video moves between luxury cars, manicured golf courses, and vibrant nightlife, with choreography and group dance scenes pulsing in sync with the Amapiano-influenced rhythm. There's no narrative to follow here, just mood, movement, and communal joy, and it's exactly what the song calls for. This is Davido in full celebration mode, and it's infectious.

Victony's "Slick" video is a visual feast. Set in a dark, moody club bathed in deep blue and green neon, Victony takes centre stage in two distinct looks, shirtless with a black leather baseball cap and heavy silver chain, then in a white sleeveless tee with a sunburst graphic. Female dancers in jewelled chainmail tops, black outfits, and high-heeled boots perform choreography around a pole with paper money scattered across the floor. The whole thing has a self-assured atmosphere that mirrors the song's own cool, unhurried delivery. It's clear that Victony is on a mission to take over the music scene.

Fave's "Dance" video is a visual teaser built almost entirely on close-up shots of her singing directly into the camera. She shows up in platinum blonde curls, a blue-strapped top, silver jewellery, gem-encrusted nails, soft pink eye makeup, winged eyeliner, silver nose rings, and a precise row of clear rhinestones above her brows. The video cuts between those performance shots and a black screen displaying the song title in silver glitter text, followed by the release date in the same sparkling typography. Simple, focused, and completely Fave, this video is evidence of her talent and artistry.

BNXN's "Emotional High" video, featuring Sarz, is a save for the end, but it's worth the wait. Shot in a more subdued tone, the video showcases BNXN's emotional depth, with a focus on storytelling and atmosphere. It's clear that this video is a labour of love, with every detail carefully considered to bring the song to life. With its slow-burning beats and introspective lyrics, this video is a perfect complement to the song.

This week's crop of music videos has been a highlight of my week, and I'm excited to see what the rest of the year has in store. From Adekunle Gold's intimate love song to Davido's celebratory anthem, there's something for everyone. These videos are sure to get you moving. So, what are you waiting for? Watch them, and let me know what you think!
