YBNL star singer Fireboy DML has released visuals for “Tattoo,” which dropped Wednesday 12th August. In “Tattoo”, Fireboy shows off his vocal skills as his onscreen persona embodies pure desire. In an interview with MTV News, the artist revealed what the song is all about.
“Tattoo is a very s*xual song. The moment I heard the beat, I just knew what I had to do. It just put me in the mood. I was like, let me just go right in and just stay with the falsetto.” He says.
“When the song starts, you will be like, ‘Am I listening to Usher, or what is going on?’. But then as the song goes on, you will be like, ‘Oh, this is an Afrobeats artist. What’s the vibe? It’s good.’ I will actually be in the mind space of the listener. That’s basically what ‘Tattoo’ is all about. Just pure desire.”
Fireboy said the song typifies his entire approach to Afrobeats, which is to put his own hold around the genre and combine it with the best of silken R&B.
“I don’t like to give away too much, because I’m a very private person, but I don’t mind giving out my heart. You have to portray different stuff that is not usually seen in Afrobeats videos. I just like to show the African culture, the colours, the fashion, the Black African beauty.” He says.
