Deto Black’s new music video for Sisi Eko is a high-energy baddie anthem about women making their own money and not needing men, while wearing fierce outfits, of course. If you’re into the office siren aesthetic, or just owning it like a boss, this one’s for you!
The Nigerian musician broke onto the scene in 2020, and her latest single celebrates femininity, career-building, and “making cash flow”. Having explored various creative paths alongside music, including scriptwriting and photography, she also creatively directs her own projects, making them feel entirely authentic to her. Set in an office building, the video places women in charge, while men sit quietly and follow orders. Confidence and independence emanate from the women as they work at Deto & Co, dealing with inept men.
The artist is behind the styling for the video, which features standout outfits such as a pinstripe bra and skirt set paired with red stockings — a much sexier take on office fashion. The title Sisi Eko is a Yoruba phrase meaning “Lagos lady”, representing the epitome of a woman who embodies the vibrant, bustling city and is known to be social, fashionable, and self-assured. The perfect title for this track.
Deto Black has carved out a formidable presence in the creative world; her lyrics are raw and self-assured, emphasising female empowerment and enhancing her connection with listeners. Her musical style blends a range of sounds, including alté, reggaeton, hip-hop, and funk, proving there are no limitations to her artistry.
