Debby Frank, the Nigerian-UK based singer and songwriter, is set to release her brand-new single Bena on January 10th, 2025. The track, a captivating blend of Afrobeat rhythms and heartfelt lyrics, features Dezign Ovo and is a reflection of real-life experiences around love, distance, and the struggles that can arise from minimal or no communication in relationships.
Bena was recorded in November 2024 in Lagos, Nigeria, marking a unique moment in Debby’s creative journey. The collaboration with Dezign Ovo was especially meaningful as the two artists are based in different countries, requiring Debbyto travel from the UK to Nigeria for both the recording and the music video shoot. Debby reflects on the creative process, saying, “The process was different because I had to travel to Nigeria to work with Dezign Ovo. The challenge of location and making sure the right costume was in place made the process a bit tricky, but ultimately, it all came together beautifully.” The song’s production features Bahdboi, Debby Frank, and Dezign Ovo, who all contributed to the track’s Afrobeat vibe.
Debby shares that Bena is deeply inspired by her personal experiences and observations, especially within her love life. The song and music video explore themes of love, distance, and how a lack of communication can affect a relationship. The concept behind the music video brings these themes to life, capturing the emotions that arise from the space between two people, struggling to stay connected. The video portrays the distance that often builds up when there’s a lack of phone contact, creating a tension that feels both relatable and personal. Bena is a track that invites the audience to feel connected and inspired by its raw honesty. Debby’s vocals shine through as she navigates the emotions of love, loss, and the journey toward emotional growth.
