Right off the heels of the single’s success, peaking at #1 on Apple Music’s Top 50 songs in Nigeria, CKay drops the official music video to HALLELUJAH with Blaqbonez.
Produced by Magic Sticks (Oxlade, Davido, Asake), ‘HALLELUJAH’ is a different vibe for CKay who has often committed to his emo-Afrobeats soundscape and perhaps picks up where ‘WATAWI’ left off. Shot in Lagos and directed by Jyde Ajala (Olamide, Victony) the visuals are also dynamic, swiftly moving across a racetrack, a vault, and interior sequences where both CKay and Blaqbonez flaunt their wins.
2023 started off a few high notes for CKay as he surpassed 3.6 billion career streams; performing at the FIFA World Cup ceremony as well as the Vh1 Supersonic 2023 festival in Pune, India, ‘HALLELUJAH’, now at over 20 million streams, is a moment of self-reflection and living on top of the world. This summer has been particularly has busy for CKay performing at AfroNation in Miami, Dour Festival, Belgium and most recently Lollapalooza in Paris. Upcoming performance dates include:
July 28 – Luzern Live, Switzerland
July 29 – HipHop Open, Germany
August 4 – Weekend Festival, Finland
