How Loza Maleombho Dominated Wizkid's "Come Closer" Music Video

With summer in full form, rest assured our faves will come through with new music, but it's a win-win when new fashion isn't far behind. Wizkid's latest single "Come Closer" featuring Drake from his newest album Sounds From The Other Side does not disappoint in either department.

Stylist Solange Franklin, director Alan Ferguson (connected to our other favorite Solange), and choreographer Tanisha Scott (behind the DJ Khaled, Rihanna, and Bryson Tiller banger "Wild Thoughts" among so much more) collaborate on this up-tempo track that blends diaspora cultural references effortlessly. The video is brimming with African brands, but Loza Maleombho was a sure standout in a series of looks from their SS17 collection. Wizkid was decked out in Ugo Mozie's designs, including one that matched the backdrop, but it was the pack of power-posing women who captivated our attention.

Sounds From The Other Side drops on July 14.
