A Cameroonian Pop Art Love Story From Singer Reniss


Cameroonian singer Reniss shares the gleeful visuals for her single "Na You," a bubbly afro-pop love song featuring fellow New Bell Music artist Shey. The two appear blissful and bright-eyed as they woo one another in a park and dance playfully against a vibrant backdrop of colorful pop art. The single follows Reniss and Shey as they sing about the excitement of blossoming young love in English, Pidgin and in the Cameroonian Mankon dialect. The Ndukong-directed music video—shot in Cameroon’s capital Yaoundé and its outskirts—also sees Reniss rocking a stylishly elaborate updo, likely inspired by J.D. Okhai Ojeikere’s iconic hair photography. Watch the feel-good music video for Reniss’ “Na You” below. For more from the budding singer, check out her latest EP Milkish which dropped earlier this month.
