Video: 2Face Idibia – African Queen

Before ‘My Rainbow’, the debut single from 2Face’s soon-to-be-released fifth studio album ‘Above & Beyond’ dominates music charts and becomes everyone’s ringtone, let’s travel back in time. The year is 2004 and 2Face just went solo, shaking up the Nigerian music scene with the anthemic ballad ‘African Queen’.

You’re allowed to skip the creepy Nollywood-esque shape-shifting effects in the beginning and just watch the boy from the plantation flirt mildly with his rainbow, Annie Macaulay. We do that all the time.
