In case you thought that I forgot to write a review about one of the best videos and song I came across this week: You Were Wrong!!
How can I end this week without writing about Patoranking - Girlie O video directed by the Award Winning, talented Director Moe Musa.
The story in the video is about a Lady being abused by her partner and she finds comfort in the arms of her Neighbour.
The usual rah rah rah...
I absolutely love the fact that Patoranking is spreading a very important message.
Many Women and Men also I insist, are silent victims of domestic abuse.
Violence should Not be tolerated under any circumstances! If you listen to the song without watching the visuals, You will definitely not know that it is about an important issue such as Domestic Violence.
To me it was just a lovely Afro/Reggae/Dancehall Love song, an open love declaration to a crush.
You can imagine how surprised I was when i saw what was going on in the video.
I just don't like the fact that the song and the video don't have anything in common.
There is no connecting point.
At least the lyrics should have given us hints on the storyline.
There is a missing link here. How on earth would one know that it is about Abuse, Violence etc...
The way I even dance to that tune, you wouldn't know that it is about a serious matter.
Nevertheless, I think that Patoranking is a talented artist to look out for in the nearest future.
Meanwhile I hope that all silent victims will finally decide to speak up and run away from any type of violence.
Have a great weekend lovelies.
Cogito Ergo Sum.
