Cheryll - What About Us (Official Video)

Hailing from South London is Cheryll with her latest video ‘What About Us’ from her debut EP entitled ‘Transition’ . A theme that is very clear in the majority of Cheryll’s releases, relationships, love interests and this track is no exception. The single is an R&B classic that is ahead of it’s time and will be listened to for years to come. This is because, the single was made in an unorthodox way to what most would consider R&B. ‘What About Us’ is a lot more dynamic and vibrant and this can be heard in the sing-rap style Cheryll performs the song in. The single is a lot more fun and free and although it has serious subject matter, the energy of the song is contagious and makes listeners want to get up and dance to it.

The track has many inspirations that are similar to the other songs from ‘Transition’ her EP. The style of early Beyonce and Destiny’s Child being some of these inspirations. What About Us is an upbeat single where Cheryll is talking to a love interest, about who is not fulfilling the role they are supposed to and has run out of chances to keep making the same “mistakes”. The subject matter will be relatable to a lot of listeners as this is a very common problem many people experience in relationships. The bouncy uptempo instrumental and methodical rapping style mixed with the open and heartfelt lyrics creates a powerful juxtaposition and results in engaging the listeners even more. D’wante Navire produced the single and was the sole engineer. The video was shot and edited by videography duoTory and Jolloff Raids.
