More than you’ll ever know [feat. D-Black]

WASHINGTON, DC – (August 2012) — Soulful Afro-Pop Inspirational Singer/Songwriter TolumiDE is at it again! She releases “More than you’ll ever know” – Single and Official Remix Video from ‘My Love’ album featuring award winning Ghanaian Hip Hop artist, D-Black – Da Ghana Bwouy, BET’s Best International Act: Africa Award Nominee 2011.

“More than you’ll ever know” produced by Terry Poindexter, is a sultry love song declaring true love ‘Me Do Wo’, in the midst of common challenges couples face every day. The blend of English, Ghanaian (Twi) and Nigerian (Yoruba) languages and D-Black’s hit rap verse gives the listener an emotional connection with the power of love and cross-cultural fusion.

“Working with TolumiDE was very different as she showed a lot of professionalism… I have been a fan of her music before we met at the 2010 Channel O Awards in South Africa; I felt it was the right timing for this collaboration to happen. The message of the song is also true- Relationships don’t always go right and no one is perfect, however love is the key to having a successful relationship. That’s the story we told through this song and I loved every bit of making this song and the video…” – D-Black, Artist

More than you’ll ever know” Remix Video featuring D-Black (http://youtu.be/vHuBpeL2kPE) was directed by

Antar Hanif of Team1kfilms Production Company with Nia Malika Dixon as the 1st AD.  Associate Producers include Tayo Abereoje (Black Royal Pictures) and Cucillo Consad (Beyond Sight Pictures). The song has an original lyric video (http://youtu.be/NSYxQsC4FI4) which features Choreography & Dance by Scott Rink & Zenas Tobi Okanlawon and is directed by Tayo Abereoje and evokes as much passion as the Remix video.
