Audio/Video: Nneka 'My Home'


Nigerian chanteuse Nneka released this video for the stellar, horn-flanked "My Home" a few months ago. The clip somehow got buried in our days of keeping up with an (unrelenting!) google-reader, but we're making up for it now. Watch Nneka go from miner to Lagos businesswoman to street cleaner in the video above. And make sure you buy "My Home," which is available on iTunes today. Soul Is Heavy is due Feb 28.
