Olugbenga 'Silver Pixie, Iyawo Mi'


Olugbenga's latest offering "Silver Pixie, Iyawo Mi" is a warm bath of synthesizers and processed vocals. In the track's music video, just released by Studio Africa, the London-based Olugbenga returns to his birthplace of Lagos, Nigeria for the first time since his teenage years. The result is an emotive video for one of the better tracks we've heard this year. Watch the Andy Amadi Okoroafor-directed video for Olugbenga's "Silver Pixie, Iyawo Mi" below.
