She impressed with her debut singles “Blink of An Eye” and “Down” with WSTRN’s Louis Rei in 2018. She impressed with her first release of the year, which dropped at the end of last month. Now rising R&B star Dolapo impresses once again as she drops the slick, edgy visuals to her new release “Skin“.
She follows up the new single with a mature and, in some respects, raunchy new video. The new cut is offering a largely unseen female gaze on the usual strip club stereotypes and power dynamics. The women, including Dolapo in the video, are truly running the show, contrary to popular beliefs. It’s a defiant, powerful stance that further defines Dolapo’s message of making moves on her own terms.
Dolapo continues the capacity for inventive, thoughtful visual narratives with the technical ability that is sure to continue to generate intrigue around the rising young star. With support already firm from across the tastemaker spectrum and radio with BBC 1Xtra’s A.Dot naming “Down” her track of the week, it’s clear that Dolapo is coming through in her own lane and fast – a true breakout name for 2019.
