‘Jah Guide Me’ marks the Nigerian entrepreneurs first release in four years

Exploring the importance of hope and inspiration in these difficult times, ‘Jah Guide Me’ see’s Darey utilise a feelgood, relaxed production, filled with warm percussion and uplifting brass arrangements to bring his message to life that, even on a good day, everyone is looking to the higher powers who will help and guide us to a better and brighter future.

The striking visual, shot on location in Lagos and brought to life by Darey himself alongside director Mex Ossai, seeks to explore the vision of Africa from an African’s perspective. Showcasing the creativity and vibrance of the people, young and old amidst the stunning surroundings of the white sand and beaches Nigeria has to offer, the video see’s Darey guide us through sanctuaries to the fields and waters whilst encapsulating the essence and beauty of those from across the country.

“My latest single “Jah Guide Me”, represents a return to what I love best, creating and telling compelling stories that resonate with everyone” Darey explains. “The song comes at a critical period in our humanity where we have been reminded of just how fleeting life is and how supplication, prayer, spirituality, and the belief in a higher power often sees us asking for guidance as we navigate these tough times.”

Also discussing the music video, Darey enthuses; “the approach is carefully styled and curated and exudes a vibe I term Afrofuturism. Edgy, cultural, cosmopolitan yet very relatable as it mirrors life for the ordinary person.
