TolumiDE Releases Music Video for “Throwback” – A Celebration of Joy, Gratitude in Africa!
Washington, D.C. – [2024] – Nigerian-Canadian Soul Afropop artist TolumiDE is thrilled to share the release of the extended version of “Throwback” featuring The Garden Theatre, along with its vibrant music video, now available on all major platforms. This track is a seamless blend of Afropop, Soul, and R&B, creating a nostalgic anthem that invites listeners to celebrate love, cherished memories, and cultural pride.
“The vibrant music video, shot in Lagos, Nigeria, features dynamic performances and poetry by the multi-talented artist, producer, and screenwriter Tosin Otudeko of The Garden Theatre. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Michelle Bello, Founder/CEO of Blu Star Entertainment, the video brings a fresh, Afrocentric visual narrative that perfectly complements the song’s themes of nostalgia and connection.”
TolumiDE expresses her gratitude for the amazing cast, which included young talents Folabomi Sanyaolu, Foyinkeji Sanyaolu, and Tamilore Kehinde, whose delightful energy helps bring the past to life. The colorful video showcases stylish fashion, uplifting choreography, and the warm, vibrant spirit of Africa, capturing both tradition and modernity in a beautiful fusion.
Recorded in collaboration with Terry Poindexter from two separate locations, “Throwback” was produced remotely with TolumiDE recording her vocals from home. During the early days of quarantine, her acoustic album, “Mama Sunshine,” resonated with her audience for its nostalgic themes; these included the beauty of brighter days, themes of love, self-assurance and overcoming challenges. Continuing an upbeat, groovy-dance feel with an R&B/Afropop flavor, “Throwback” features lyrics in English and Yoruba, alluding to TolumiDE’s Nigerian heritage.
