Afrobeats ambassador, Fuse ODG, shares visuals to the Carribean —influenced “Island” —shot in Pueto Rico, and directed by Edgar Esteves.
Oozing with colour and the palm trees riffling joyously in summer, the clip arrives ahead of his anticipated new album, New Africa Nation. The record itself is peppered with the vibrant trumpets and kicks that identify Latin pop. “Island” also discharges more than a tinge of the dancehall music.
“Massive Thanks to the people of Pueto Rico for hosting us in their beautiful country. We met some amazing people. We support the people of Pueto Rico in its road to recovery and the improvement of the Island’s economy. Fuse ODG”, says the singer about his experiences in the Caribbean island.
