Tinko Tinko (Don't Play Me For A Fool)

Much of this promo is seen through the prism of retro devices, including an aged computer and CCTV. Milo Blake's use of random technology enables him to imbue a pretty straightforward performance video with a great deal of visual interest, culminating in a Poltergeist-style connection between human and screen.

It all adds up to a dystopian vibe, with all of the visual elements combining to constrain the colour palette to a deliberately limited field. The doominess of the look is hugely offset by Obongjayar's music, which is decidedly upbeat despite being a plea to be treated decently by someone who has plainly decided to mess the Nigerian singer around.
