The building we\u2019re sitting in the pub, the Counting House, is 500 years old, and we\u2019re right in the heart of London, in the Old City of London. And the good thing is the pub has been renovated in that time, and so it\u2019s in pristine condition and ready to go for this amazing music shoot for Billboard<\/em>.<\/p>\n
The creative for this is we are bringing a true, Amapiano party into a true, authentic English pub.<\/p>\n
Amapiano is a South African dance and music genre. And I say \u201cdance\u201d because with the music, there\u2019s movement that comes with it, and it\u2019s very innate and very connected to our culture.<\/p>\n
Shooting on five cameras. So we have a Steadicam, we have a tower cam, we have handhelds, all to get all the best angles all at once at the same time. But the one thing that maintains is the feeling of it being alive, certainly the vocal.<\/p>\n
I absolutely love working with Tyla. She\u2019s a global superstar right there in the making.<\/p>\n
In rehearsal, she\u2019s very much softer and lighter when it comes to the moment, which is like a moment like right now, there\u2019s something that switches on where, in her eyes, in her body, in the language that she produces with her body, it sounds on camera. It\u2019s something that\u2019s captivating. And I get captivated still to this day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
