Fast-rising fashion label, Betyl Bat, owned by former City People Fashion Editor, Bola Akinboade-Bello, recently styled music artiste, Uwale Okoro, popularly known as Essence, in her soon-to-be released video.
Betyl Bat created the angelic look for the video.
The Delta State-born songstress, Essence, dropped the new tune, ‘Giving it All’ on her birthday last July.
The video was shot by creative video Frizzle of Frizzle n Bizzle Films.
According to Essence, the song is a wake-up call.
In her words: “The recent untimely deaths and plagues that we are experiencing should bring us to the realisation that we should hold on fast to God.”
She added that she’s not looking forward to be branded a gospel singer, but a music messenger who would sing about her convictions as they come.
On accusations by some fans that she sings songs that make them think too deeply, instead of songs that they can dance to, Essence said “dancing won’t cure Ebola, neither will it take them to the next level”.
Instead, she “decided to do another song that would cause more thinking because as much as dancing is therapeutic, thinking is very key”.
