Mavin singer Di’Ja may not be the most prolific singer around, only choosing to drop socially-inclined, statement tracks these days, but she seems to be back in full Popstar flow. Early last month, she followed up 2017’s ‘Aphrodija’ with a new self-titled EP, comprising four songs that showcase her trademark qualities: bright songwriting, wide-appealing delivery, and an ear for groovy production. Although the new EP hasn’t been met with the highest level of fanfare, the new music video for “Wuta”, the intro song, looks like a properly executed promotional jolt.

Strutting over a bouncy, exotic Afropop beat, built around a rustic string arrangement peculiar to local music from Northern Nigeria, Di’Ja delivers a self-assured set, packed with brags and eye-rolling lines at haters, delivered in a mix of Hausa and English. She ultimately follows through, though, with its Unlimited LA-directed video, set at an uncredited location in the North. While there is a mystical side plot, mostly carried along by a young girl dressed in a resplendent Hijab and running through a market, the song’s catchy element is portrayed in Di’Ja performing choreographed moves alongside male dancers, all styled distinctly Northern wears.
