I hate when songs like this do not get the love they deserve
Don't stress it
If we continue to support it then she'll get her just due
I totally agree I just found this song and I’m hooked ❤❤
Artist have to do more to promote themselves and not leave it solely to the machine. This song is different and refreshing and I've only heard it just now...wow! Radio is so formula based & regurgitates the same old stew that something truly new doesn't make rotation. Of course it's other politics that goes on as well.
Same
I know it’s sounds crazy but believe me when I say the reason behind why this song didn’t get much attention , because of the illuminati ! Singers who don’t make a deal with them will never ever gonna be famous and popular ! Her and Michelle from destiny’s child their careers are died !! But in other hand Beyoncé still popular still respected still someone important
How was this masterpiece overlooked. The song. The choreography. Damn everything is perfect in this.
Kelly has been consistently presenting black beauty in a way no one is doing in this industry! Killer dancers and actors, killer body language, killer palette and killer styles! We're being SERVED!
❤️🔥🍫🍫🍫🍫
She has to. The industry did her wrong because of her being chocolate and not lighter.
Nonsense!
Thank you 😊
@King George man?
the dancers went CRAZYY omg
Innit tho'!
Right. I love every move.❤❤❤❤
As a Nigerian I think this is one of the best songs I have heard. It's such a beautiful tribute to Fela Kuti. The African Vibe is flawless. Thank you Kelly. And the African moves!!! I can go on and on. Thanks.
I agree 😁
Infact i forgot myself and i thought i was listening to FELA song
I was thinking this sounds Fela
Fela❤️❤️❤️
I agree
I'm from Cameroon, Central Africa, and it's so good seeing Black people around the world reconnecting with their roots. This song slaps!!! Why so underrated😭
I'm from America and I agree 1000%!!!
YES!
I KNOW RIGHTTTT OMG
Hello Guy, i'm from CAR, Mbi bara mo ita ti mbi
+237 🚀🚀🚀
I'm Nigerian and can't help but applaud the Afro-fusion in this new found fave hit song! Kelly is a Queen period!!!
sis-STAR...You deffo mirrored my thoughts!!!!! Shutouts all the way from Lagos-Naija!!!!
It's actually Fela 🇳🇬 song and beat.... Go listen to Fela - Mr follow follow, released in 90's
Even the starting of the video is still the same with fela
Keep watching
@@wealthnaijatv6952 very correct 👊
@@wealthnaijatv6952 Mr Follow Follow was in the Zombie album of 76
Kelly never ever retire, she's a Queennnnn
Kelly Rowland is the most beautiful woman in the world. Her facial features are just out of this world.
Beautiful
Agreed
Say it LOUDER
Agree, she always my fav.....
Nose job n all..sure
I think Kelly Rowland is one of the most underrated divas of the music industry. My view...
Yes she is
We see through the same lens Musa!
Yes she is I was like👀👀OK I see you. I never listen to her songs.
She literary just sat there and sang!
I totally agree!!
Where are all my fellow Nigerians and lovers of Kelly Rowland alike?🇳🇬 Gather here please, Kelly just did it for the culture 👌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

This is Afrobeats and am shocked the world dont see what Kelly Rolland did here. This song is an experiment whose time will come to be appreciated pretty soon. Well done Ms Kelly
Instant classic! I like how that Fela "sample sound" takes us all the way back to afrobeat's origins. This is one of the most unique tracks (production wise) that I've heard (of its kind) in a while. This type of beat could inspire a whole new sub genre 🤞! I hope it introduces a new generation to Fela, as well as other original creators who pioneered afrobeat from its roots to it's current manifestations. Hopefully, international collabs & cross cultural "pollination" like this will become the new normal.
@@silvabakx6396 I was going to say that this reminds me of a Fela song!
All the dancers are represented equally!! so mad!!!
Yes, this deserves way more views and recognition.
I love how different dance moves from all parts of Africa are included in the video.
So beautiful.
@@Whimswirl
Yes indeed. Wish i could give u more than a like
She said “let me go ahead and bless their feed real quick” 🥺❤️💃🏿 ❤️❤️❤️

Same to you love. Happy Holidays😀😀😀
Kelendria be hitting the spot with the vocals and visuals.
This dancers did not come to play with us! Love all of them!
Yep, Nigerian dance is fire 🔥
AMEN!!!
Why is this song not NO:1 everywhere, this is freakin hot AFROBEAT banger. Can you feel that Nigerian vibe?. Fela Kuti
I day tell u Man Afrobeat 🔥❤️🇳🇬
Okay! It’s a bop. Who else wanted Kelly to be dancing w them.
Me🙋🏽♂️🙋🏽♂️🙋🏽♂️ But I forgive her coz she's pregnant. And I know when she gives birth and performs this song she is gonna Murder this Choreo🔥🔥🔥
🙋🏾
@@smallz786z8 me too but she has an excuse she's pregnant we still love her.
@@smallz786z8 7 months at that.
That's why they only showing the top of her shoulder on up
I just can't understand how Kelly hasn't had millions of subscribers yet
Hugs from Brazil to all you! ❤️🇧🇷
COLORISM, also her fans are older.
@@devisonraap dont think its colorism,alot of talented dark skin artists have millions of subscribers..Kelly's music isn't being promoted enough.thats her management teams fault.
I went and subscribed when i saw your comment
She is nearly and I trust that she will do it😘
@@devisonraap older fans, also no consistency.
I loved every minute this song is a bop Loving the African vibe
Yes loving this ❤ - The rhythm / instrumentation is definitely Fela Kuti inspired.
Well I just subscribed to keep up with her
@@itskleoxo i definitely hear the Fela Kuti inspiration
@Kaceem B I noticed the exact same thing; the dancing and the music
A Full Bop!🙌🏽👑
Afrobeat Masterpiece
Let her deliver this baby and you'll see how she kills this choreography. Miss kelly.
I was thinking the same thing!! I can't wait to see her body this choreo!!!
Kelly has never been a dancer, what are you new fans talking about, when have you ever seen Kelly dance, in what video?? Where 🙁??? She never dances.
@@MrJadeHappy are you crazy, new fans ive been around i do think longer than you, see Motivation Video, Lay it on Me, work, do your homework.
@@darry1004 calm down sweetheart, I appreciate you coming to the defense of your homegirl Kelly Rowland, I really honestly do ❤️ but you didn't give me any examples of her dancing at all, I watched the videos you suggested and all I see is her posing and singing like always 🏆
@@darry1004 I don't wanna compare any female artists, because everyone is different 😮 Kelly isn't known for dancing; Beyonce, Britney Spears, Shakira, Ciara... Those women are known for dancing on stage at their concerts 🏆🏆🏆
That skin. That smile. That voice. That body🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is old school afrobeat fela sampling done phenomenally well
RIP 🙏 to the legend fela kuti. God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬! Kelly rowland is beautiful 😍 ❤
WOW.. the dancers was phenomenal...Kelly looks Gorgeous....BLAXK EXCELLENCE!!!! period!
Fela to the World! Afro beat from Nigeria, Kalakuta Lagos. Fela Lives Forever! I said so!

Its really sad how underrated and slept on Kelly is. SMH. This girl brings ALL the fire and still can't get the love she deserves. I hate that they don't play her music on my local radio stations here in Dallas. Matter fact, let me make a couple calls and tweets. Okurrrr
She slept on and underrated herself!
She failed the brown paper bag test.
@@clarencentumba-kadima610 how so?
She was always my favorite ❤💯 no disrespect
@@teresabarrett5387 Mine too!
Love that Americans are sampling Nigerian songs
I hear a sample of Fela (Afrobeat) 🇳🇬, Naija to da world. choreography , so on fireeee! I love to see the melanin in this video!
That or new Orleans jazz
@@Sandra.-. she said on her I.G it's a sample from FELA KUTI
@@stine1863 oh nice. It sounds a little like the stuff I hear from New Orleans too but I also see some nigerian dances in here so it figures
@@Sandra.-. true Fela blended jazz and Various African rhythms to create Afrobeats
Naija, ad Dancehall influenced.
Yo the colors in this >>>>>
costumes, color grading, lighting, the walls, the furniture, make up just everything
the way the lights and colors reflect on the beautiful soft skin of these beautiful people
Art.
RIGHT???
The aesthetics!!! 🥵🥵
exactly my thoughts!
This is crazy and at another level. Watching it 5 times. The Afrobeat fusion- fantastically fabulous.. The choreography- Wow.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇧🇷🇧🇷
This woman's songs deserve more views... I don't get why many people aren't viewing them or subscribing to her channel 🤦♂️
Omg
Colorism. But that won't stop her. 👑
Xdr
They're ignorant, listening to trending songs only :/ Kelly deserves much more but at least we can enjoy this masterpiece before others find it :p
bad marketing. I didn't even know she released singles!
The dancers and the Fela sample are everything !!!
Kelly speak to your marketing team asap. There's no reason why nobody is seeing this amazing video.
Highly disappointed as well.. This should be up there.
Agreed!
I know
Exactly! She needs to promote it. I just got to know about it through @ellenshow
FUCKING FACTS!!!!! This video is so dope!!!
Dear person that’s reading this, we don’t know each-other but i wish you all the best in life. ❤️👐🏾
This comment!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Appreciate it! Same to you 💯💯
Thank u and I wish u the same love happy holidays
Thank you man! I wish you the best in life as well! Stay blessed!
I don’t know you personally but I’m already following your page and I wish you the best as well.
Why is this song not making more waves than WAP or any other song. This is a masterpiece
FOR REEEAL THOoo
I'm very Nigerian and I couldn't agree more!!!! HITMAN is a MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!
The young generation ain't know good music 🎶🎵🎶🎵 period.....
Because real fire like this doesn't sell anymore. Most young folks are about raunchy lyrics and almost naked people in the video. Which is sad cuz this song is blazin...
Yeah man! It is. I just listen to it i feel my roots, my vibe and all in it.
Director: How much unapologetic blackness and melanin magic would you like in this video.
Ms Rowland: YES!!!
My 👑 is everything
Y E AH B A B Y!!!!
zzzzz all this race baiting is getting tiring
@@skurinski No just pride ✊🏾 in our blackness 🖤 Peace & Love .
Chocolate skin is so Beautiful 😍
Thumbs up if you're listening from Africa. Much love to Kelly Rowland. Great arts never dies. RIP to the King Fela Kuti
I thought i was the only one that noticed the Fela sound ooo
Oh!... I didn’t know he passed away
🔥🔥🔥
I’m so glad we are getting back to our culture! It’s time we become proud of being us!!
Yes it about time we need to go home #motherland
I totally agree Sister Demetria.......Sending love & peace from PHILLY!!!
AfroBeat to the world. Fela to the world! Africa Root, Fela Follow Follow. Fela as done allot to Africa music. His rhythms is so African. Rest on Fela. Your work speaks volume! BigUp Kelly Rowland
Fela would be proud! Afrobeats to the world! 🇳🇬🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kelly Rowland on a Fèla Anikulapokuti track 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💯💯💯
Hitman, hit song. Nice one Kelly.
About her hair, about this beat, about her voice, about this visuals, about her GIFT! Kelly NEVER DISAPPOINTS. Now I need an album. ❤️
We are together boo
I am a Nigerian 🇳🇬 🇳🇬 and this song just became my favorite Kelly Rowland hit 💥 Damn!
Listen to her new track its even better..
@@okuomose1 This is our favourite song in Africa continent, mostly, Nigeria the giant of Africa, 🇳🇬🌍👍, ....
MOST UNDERRATED SINGER IN THE WORLD. She deserves more for sure.
thank u !
She sounds like bey at first... Kelly is Killin it again ❤️👏
Now that y'all have sung her praises let's support this humble sister please...😇
Exactly. Let's BUY her music.
BOUGHT singles from her latest project “Bad Hair”...streamed her Lifetime Christmas movie,”A Merry Liddle Christmas Wedding”...I think Kelly my have singlehandedly saved 2020 FOR ME...😂💙🙏🏾
This is one of those songs I listen to over and over again and don't get sick of.
Y'all this choreography is LIT.
So Damn Catchie Kelly Love You're Music!!!!
The GREAT FELA KUTI, your sound is speaking to your people from your grave!!!!!! This is an awakening indeed!!! Kelly Rowland paying homage to the great music legend and ancestors from way back! May his spirit bless your work so it shines like his music did! Love from Uganda 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬

Yaaaas
As a Nigerian 🇳🇬, it warms my heart to see African American go the full circle !
It’s about time Baby!
Black American reconnection to Africa ( even if it’s only culturally or economically) is the hardest blow they can land on the bigots who denied them their freedoms, of expressions, of original citizenships, of equality , of justice!
*These dancers were not playing with us.*
Yes those dances r on point. The dancers r doing their thing. Love it.
Not at all

FELA. For Ever Lives Africa.
Thanks for 'channeling' the King himself Kelly. You have done a fantastic job.
I grew up in Nigeria in the hey days of Fela. You've brought back good memories.
Houston's own, love you Ms. Kelly! This song is 💣 bomb.
Need a movie with this song as the soundtrack.
Us black people NEED to see beautiful images of our people like this ! Beautiful video Kelly
Agree !
This is my Jam!! I'm sure Fela Kuti is smiling wherever he is.
Happy birthday to the queen Kelendria.
Is it me, or did the lockdown just amp up these artists creativity by a 1000% ?
Nope they are simply touching base with this afro roots
@@truethots3088 on point 🌎
Just a few of them. The rest are still trash.
They ain't got nutin else to do but create haha
i don't hear anything good here, awful song
Yessss Fela of life. Thanks Kelly for paying homage to the Afrobeat King FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI 🇳🇬🇳🇬. Great song
Kelly did the damn thang representing our culture, colors, dance
Kelly Rowland exploring her roots. Great afrobeat 👌🏼.
Her “roots”?? Stop Kelly is an AMERICAN. Her roots are in AMERICA.
@@cashcow4450 You're so clueless and ignorant. Yes, Kelly Rowland is American but her roots are West African.
@@garlandowls1134 Kelly was rasied Houston Texas and grew up there her entire young life. Those are her roots. I’m tired of black Americans trying to claim African roots when they now nothing of the culture, don’t speak any of the many different African languages and pretty much just use it because being African has become trend. You don’t see black Jamaicans, or black Caribbean’s claiming Africa as their roots becáis they have built a culture and way of life for the sieve that they are proud of. Black Americans have Thai desperate need to connect with Africa and there were even born there. America is there roots not Africa
This aesthetic is giving me pre-covid vibes and I appreciate the brief mental escape! ✨
Oh no. What if that was the new norm, whoever could give the public the best escape to pre-covid
Kelly murdered this song. So happy for her and the good things happening to her. She deserves it.
As in.. she killed it!!!
This joint is straight from Africa tunes.. Africa loves you Kelly Rowland
Fela kuti
sounds similar to artist Fela Kuti
This video is so visually stunning and everyone in it is beautiful.
The Best Kelly's ever done by far! This is not just a banger but the video is Outstanding!! Giving me all the Fela Kuti vibes. This has to blow!!
💯
No lie !
Honestly this song is so good. It sounds like an old classic. My ears are satisfied.
It sample Fela Kuti "Teacher dont teach me nonsense"

Really! Can you tag that part where she sampled it!
@@maleisac4727 th-cam.com/video/xsToGea4MWI/w-d-xo.html here you go love
Yep I recognized that immediately. I was like ok Kelly following Beyoncé representing the motherland✊🏾
Please peoples don't sleep on this hit. It deserves grammy. Let's stand for miss Kelly Rowland
I don't even care if this song isn't getting the deserved attention and views, i'm sure Kelly was just happy she could connect with her root and still keep it original like this. The fusion of her sultry voice and the Fela percussions just makes a perfect sound. God bless you Kelly.
Pure art, pure creativity, pure energy, pure power. Melanin is everything!
I guess Fela would be so proud of his legacy in the music industry.
Kelly Rolland killing it like mad.
Kelly looked like the regal and royal 👑 QUEEN THAT SHE IS. LOVED THE VIDEO AND THE SONG IS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can we talk about her visuals ?? And this vocals !!!
THIS!!! Don't sleep on her!!!🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤
We’re is all my Naija’s ? Oh make we gada here Nigeria to the world thanks Kelly beautiful song
The video is the sh*t!!! My head scatter. The choreography is super!
We dey hia Bros!!!! HITMAN too dey totori me!!!! Me don shangee Kelly name to Kemolala😁🙈🙉
We de here. Song is mad
We dey here ooo
The older she gets the younger she looks and the more her beauty just stands out.
This is a beautiful blend of Afrobeat with contemporary music. Plus the dance moves are just melodically beautiful. African rhythm and dance getting long overdue recognition. Fela lives on. Nice work Kelly.
THIS DANCERS WERE AMAZING, BEST PERFORMANCE.
The more you listen the more addictive it becomes ✨ who's agree?
You ain't lying I just love this song I love Kelly Rowland and all she do but they seem to just try to push her to the background but not Miss Kelly
This is a complete Fela vibe. My Nigerian family here will recognise. The only thing missing is Fela's voice and ëverybody say yeah yeah". Who wants to see Kelly Roland ft WizKid on an afro track. The drop a thumbs up
Yo yessss bring in that motherland culture Kelly!!! 😻😭
feeling the Afro fusion 100%
This sounds like a soundtrack to a movie as big as a James Bond movie. Anything mixed with even just a hint of the influence of black culture in music certainly gets better.
