Nigerian music powerhouses Tems and Asake have joined forces in the music video for “Get It Right,” offering a compelling blend of visual artistry and musical brilliance. The track is featured on Tems’ debut album, Born In The Wild, which has received critical acclaim and over 614 million global streams. The album debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums chart, with 13 of its tracks dominating the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs Chart, further cementing Tems’ position as a global force in music.
The “Get It Right” video takes a nostalgic turn, drawing inspiration from the aesthetics of the 1990s and early 2000s. This shift follows the vibrant visuals of Tems’ previous single, “Turn Me Up,” which celebrated the lively charm of Kingston, Jamaica. In contrast, “Get It Right” delivers a more stylized and symbolic narrative, showcasing Tems’ innovative approach to visual storytelling.
In the video, Tems exudes an ethereal elegance, draped in shimmering silver fur with flowing platinum-white hair against radiant white backdrops. This yin imagery contrasts sharply with Asake’s yang energy, as he brings a bold, grounded presence in dark leather and earthy tones. The interplay between their contrasting styles enhances the video’s narrative depth, creating a visual dialogue that mirrors the song’s themes.
The video’s artistic choices highlight the synergy between the two artists. While Tems’ celestial aura draws the viewer into a dreamlike atmosphere, Asake’s grounded energy balances the visuals, adding an edgy dynamism to the production. Together, they create a captivating balance of light and dark, soft and strong, ethereal and rugged.
Directed with meticulous attention to detail, the video underscores Tems’ creative vision and her ability to transcend musical boundaries. Her collaboration with Asake demonstrates not only her versatility but also her commitment to pushing artistic boundaries within Afrobeats and beyond.
“Get It Right” continues Tems’ upward trajectory in the global music scene, following her Grammy win and Oscar nomination. This latest visual release further solidifies her as one of the most innovative artists of her generation, blending music and visuals to create art that resonates deeply with audiences.
