The International Artist was a novel concept that fell flat on some level, because A Boogie bent over backwards to emulate Global styles, instead of infusing them with his own. There is, mind you, a lot to love about the dancey numbers on The International Artist, specifically "Way Too Fly" featuring Davido, the latest song to receive a visual story.
A Boogie makes no qualms about racking up air miles visiting Davido on his home continent. The Highbridge rapper staged his "Way Too Fly" video during peak hours of the night, his vampire-like activities more compensatory than he'd like you to believe. A Boogie follows the "supernatural" thread right into the video. Dancers wearing sacred Yoruba face paint cause distraction but never discomfort. The video operates out of a shifting lens, but that's as he teases the visual stimuli.
What do you make of "Way Too Fly" and the rest of The International Artist, while we're on the topic.
