Neo Afro-pop duo Blaq Diamond have struck with another banger, titled “Italy”.
Released five days ago by Ambitious Entertainment, also known as the Hit Factory, the single has reached number 15 on YouTube’s trending music chart with its African heritage themed music video. The video premiered on 29 October on the video streaming platform.
Blaq Diamond consists of Ndumiso “Ndu Brown” Mdletshe and Sphelele “Danya Devs” Dunywa, both from Ladysmith in KZN. They released their last single in September titled “AmaCriminal”, which has reached over 600,000 views after a month. “Italy” clocked 300,000 views in less than a week, despite facing competition from Amapiano hit songs that are currently dominating the Mzansi music scene.
Ambitious Entertainment have been consistently producing top class visuals which they do in-house.
The music video for “Italy” follows the narrative of the song, which is about a hard working guy thinking of his girlfriend’s wishes, which include travelling to Italy to buy luxury clothes. A Volkswagen Type 2 microbus is featured as the car of choice for the expensive trip on the 5:24 minutes long video. The song was produced by Kitie and Mfowam.
