When the single skelewu by Davido first hit the streets, it was an instant banger!! We knew Davido was back again after two not too successful singles in "One of a Kind" and "Kalo Connect". Finally, we had a follow up banger to "Gobe". Weeks after it was released, the video hadn't yet been released. We were suprised that a hit of that magnitude, did not have a video at the peak of its reign and more suprised because the hit was by davido.
Davido is known to never waste time in releasing awesome videos to his singles, and has been regarded as a boss in terms of the quality, details of work usually put into his videos. We have finally known the reason for the delay.
This week, we finally got a link to a brand new video from Davido....Skelewu!!! Every Nigerian I'm sure did not hesistate to click on that link, This video must be mad!! But when we finally watched the video, it was met with mixed reviews. To make matters worst, Davido tweeted it was a leak and that he didn't intend to release the video as Sesan did not do a Good Job. Was this a lie?
Maybe it wasn't a leak, maybe he released it officially; Did he only after hearing the mixed reviews change the gamePlan? These questions may remain unanswered, but then what was actually wrong with that video?
Location : First, the location where most of the skelewu dance took place wasn't what we expected. We were hoping for something out of this world, Locations and background that will amaze us!! But this wasn't the case. The background didn't seem to reflect the massive song.
Awful Men In Suit : What were those guys doing? And why were they dancing skelewu in a suit? We would have even forgiven them if they danced "skelewu" properly but they were just so bad and awful at it
Davido Jumping Around : We expected him to dance skelewu more often in the scenes of the video, and not just jump up and wave his hands around; Davido should have focused on his skelewu dance
Lack of the skelewu energy : That needed energy was lacking from everyone in that video. We expected people to go crazy, but they were all just staring at the camera and dancing awkwardly
Stationery Scene : There was a scene where davido was just standing, and singing skelewu as though he was singing a RnB song, that shouldn't have made the cut; it made the video look so awkward
The Man Eating At The End Of The Video : Like seriously, what was that? What was Sesan thinking when he added that scene? Totally Disgusting!
Nevertheless, we must commend the quality of the video, the fresh and hot girls, Davido's jewelry and fashion craze in the song; all in all, a re-shoot is going to take place ( which I think may not be needed); Fans of Davido have their fingers crossed.
