Got Me Singing Video Review

Jaafar Jackson, the son of Jermaine Jackson of The Jackson 5, has just released is debut single. It is called Got Me Singing and was written by 22-year-old Jaafar and veteran producer Hardy Indiigo. It was released on all music platforms including Apple Music and Spotify on Friday and the music video was uploaded on YouTube a few hours later.



Here I am going to write a short review of the video.

At the start of the video, we get a birds-eye view of a city and see Jaafar riding on the back of a motorcycle. The location appears on screen - Vidigal, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. The clothes Jaafar and everyone is wearing give a Caribbean,summer vibe. The song actually starts a minute into the video and the first sounds accompany views of houses and different parts of the city. I like that because we get to know a little bit of Brazil.The first shot of Jaafar is taken on a rooftop. His outfit goes well with the background. The camera then cuts to a beautiful woman who plays the love interest. Her name is Amanda Costa and she does a great job. It looks like she and Jaafar had great chemistry between them on set, which two people would need to have to be able to film those steamy, romantic scenes. Jaafar is soon joined on the roof by some friends who dance a long with him. They perform a choreographed routine which is probably much harder than it looks and I have to say I am amazed that they were able to dance on the very wet ground! I'm cautious whenever I walk in the rain or on wet surfaces and don't think I would be able to do all those amazing dance moves on water. They probably had to do many takes to get it right but I hope nobody slipped! I like that we get to see the dancers from different angles like from above, for which I guess they used drones, and close ups. Just look at the smiles on their faces, they had so much fun and were so happy. Towards the end, Jaafar is in a different outfit and he and Amanda go to a street party. It looks very festive and for a minute we get to see Jaafar just dancing and wow, he is just as good at dancing as he is at singing. Love the way they look at each other at the end of the video.


Screenshots from the video

You can tell that the people of Brazil are fun and lovely and Vidigal is a beautiful city. Everything about this video is perfect - The location, the camera shots and angles, the dancers and choreography. I think Amanda was a great choice to play that role and Hardy Indiigo directed it really well. This track is one everyone should add to their play lists. Got Me Singing is a catchy song that really made me cheerful and feel like dancing. To Jaafar and everyone involved in this music video, congratulations! This song is amazing and now I'm looking forward to hearing more music from Jaafar. 



Got Me Singing is available now on all music platforms and the video is on YouTube.

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...

The Prove It Game

The public opinions on Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are divided. Some love her and most seem to hate her. I admire her in some ways. I just watched an interview she did with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima and something she said resonated with me.  Image from Jamie Kern Lima YouTube.  Here it is: "We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. You have to prove that you're enough, you have to prove that you're pretty enough, you have to prove that you're smart enough, you have to prove that you're a good wife or a good friend, and I am just so done with the prove it game. When you get to the place where you feel like I don't have to prove anything to you anymore. I don't have to prove that I'm a good person, I don't have to prove that I'm a good wife or mum or friend, I don't have to prove that I work hard. It can be really freeing when you stop playing the prove it game." - Meghan Markle. I completely agree with...
