Blession - WAIT ON YOU (Official Video)

Bursting onto the scene with unbounded originality, Zimbabwe-born autodidact Blession makes his debut with an enthralling first single ‘Wait On You’, out now.

Allowing his imagination to run wild, the multi-hyphenate paints a vivid setting in which he envisions the song to soundtrack. “The year is 1986, you have the whole of Miami using your product. You have everything you want - cars, money, mansions. After paying the connect for the huge gamble you took on, nothing stands in your way. Speeding down A1A in your Lamborghini Countach LP500 S, you turn on the radio and this is what you hear.”

Written, performed and produced by Blession in its entirety, ‘Wait On You’ gives a glimpse into the world of the self-taught artist, who now resides in Bournemouth. The record comes to life with 80s-inspired synths, setting an otherworldly stage for Blession’s delicate falsetto to float in. Reaching climactic peaks with an infectious hook, ‘Wait On You’ is an all-encompassing love song perfectly accompanied by a dreamlike visual.

Starring Blession himself, the video is set in large expanses of fields, with contrasting light & dark scenes. The daytime clips embody a celestial feel as Blession is engrossed in heavenly embraces with his love interest. Meanwhile the dark backdrop nods to the 80s feel of the production, capturing Blession in a more vulnerable light as he wanders around with neon lights illuminating his body.
