Yesterday afternoon right before I was getting ready
to step out, I was going through music channels. I tuned into channel 321 on
DStv. It was a music video by artist Zonke Dikana the song is simply titled ‘Reach It’ that caught
me. I was so moved I knew I had to write about this, my feelings and thoughts
were spilling over. I thought about this song while I was out till I got back
home, it touched me somehow. I got onto YouTube; I listened to it while washing
the dishes which can be quite relaxing in some sort of way. I listened to the
song well over ten times, I allowed it to seep Into my heart and mind. Allow me
to me explain how this song has left me feeling.
It is a very simple music video, feature’s Zonke, One
location and one outfit. I was captivated by this black and white music video.
Zonke is standing in this black void or space sometimes still sometimes
rotating. Light shining on her, amplifying her features: her porcelain skin,
her perfectly manicured nails, her big round eyes, her glowing face, her
attractive lashes and her hand movements. The beauty was breath taking. I don’t
know what it is about simplicity but I am attracted to it, it’s probably because
it does not make noise and communicates itself a lot more effectively than
complication. Directed by Mzi
Kumalo you can tell that
he did a really good job at executing Zonke’s vision. They probably had great
chemistry. It makes sense that the video is like this because of the song...
Titled ‘Reach
It’ not only personally
speaking to me, this is probably the best song I have heard and best video I
have seen all year. It’s one thing to have a great song but to also have a
video that compliments it, is exceptional. The lyrical content to ‘Reach It’ is so Inspiring and moving. It
should be my morning song. To my understanding it merely speaks of reaching
your dreams, your passions, reaching your full potential, that’s all. That’s
all I need to hear with my 2016 plans, this song is my anthem, I
will not stop till I reach it. I
am so Inspired so I honour this amazing song with this post. I will purchase
the CD and play that track till the CD scratches then I will buy it again!
Her album titled ‘Work of Heart’ was released in
September 2015. Good looking cover art. Her short hair suits her so much.
