Jamaican-born chanteuse Sevana drops off the music video for her brand new single “Nobody Man.” On the feel-good, island-infused, energetic track, the soulful songstress changes the narrative by not giving into stereotypes of disrupting relationships. Interchanging between her Jamaican patois and traditional R&B/Soul, Sevana delivers a percussive sound, coupled with thought-provoking lyrics.
“Nobody Man” by Sevana is a vibrant reggae-infused track that exudes confidence and independence. From the moment the song begins, its infectious rhythm and upbeat tempo set a lively tone, driven by a classic reggae beat and accented by vibrant instrumentation. Sevana’s powerful and expressive vocals are the highlight, delivering the song’s message with clarity and passion.
The lyrics of “Nobody Man” focus on themes of self-respect and empowerment, with Sevana declaring her refusal to be treated as second best or be anyone’s “nobody man.” She emphasizes the importance of self-worth and the strength to walk away from relationships that do not offer the respect and love she deserves. The chorus is particularly impactful, with its catchy and assertive refrain, making it an anthem of empowerment for listeners.
The production of “Nobody Man” is polished and authentic, capturing the essence of reggae while incorporating contemporary elements. The rich, layered instrumentation, including rhythmic guitars, steady drums, and subtle bass lines, creates a full and engaging sound that complements Sevana’s vocal performance perfectly.
“I wrote ‘Nobody Man’ after a series of unfortunate girlfriends thought I wanted their man, which could never be the case,” Sevana says firmly. “‘Nobody Man’ challenges the narrative of ‘tek a gyal man,’ which is essentially a braggadocio culture around taking another person’s husband or boyfriend,” she adds.
The video, directed by Wade Rhoden, is a vibrant showcase of colorful 90’s inspired style and infectious dance routines. Sevana commands the camera as she shows off her choreography skills.
“While I’m here I want to use all my gifts to support my purpose, which is to create! I know it’s not typical but I want to use everything I have to support the music I’m doing and the messages I’m trying to communicate,” says Sevana.
Sevana is part of the In.Digg.Nation Collective, the label and management company founded by GRAMMY-nominated Protoje.
