Kickoff 2024 entries to the Afropop Top Video playlist with six great new entries. Topping the list are two featuring today’s Mama Africa, Angelique Kidjo, continuing her role as generational bridge-builder through superb collaborations with current Afrobeats stars Mr. Eazi and Davido, the latter video also featuring The Cavemen. Remember, if you have suggestions of videos our fans would love, send them to info@afropop.orgwith the subject line “Top Videos 2024.” Enjoy!

Mr Eazi feat. Angelique Kidjo: Òròkórò’

This video debuts today, dramatizing one of the key tracks on Mr Eazi’s expansive 2023 album The Evil Genius. Eazi discusses the album and this song in particular in our Planet Afropop exclusive interview, highly recommended. There’s a deep link between these two artists, forged in this song for the ages.

Davido, feat. The Cavemen, Angelique Kidjo: “Na Money”

Set in a French mansion, this high-production video imagines a luxurious Afrofuturistic gathering hosted by a rather regal Davido. The fashion statements alone will blow you away. But the neo-highlife groove and winning vocal performances, Davido cooing, and Kidjo growling, seal the deal nicely.

SInkane: “How Sweet is Your Love”

It’s been almost five years since we heard new tunes from Sudanese-American rocker Sinkane. In advance of his upcoming album We Belong, the Brooklyn-based singer/bandleader teases us with an uplifting track that tilts back to classic disco and R&B. Cross-dressing and a pink tutu figure in, the groove is guaranteed to get you moving, and Sinkane’s voice fairly bursts with joy.
