Rose May Alaba is a musician, dancer and fashionista hailing from Vienna, Austria, making an impact with her latest single, “MORE.” Born to a Nigerian father and a Filipino mother, Rose May’s music is a vibrant fusion of her diverse cultural heritage.
Her journey in music began early, and she quickly made a name for herself with her debut single “Love Me Right,” which soared to the top of the Austrian iTunes Charts in 2016. Her performance of “Can You Feel It” at the Special Olympics 2017 remains one of her most emotional and impactful experiences, showcasing her use of music for meaningful causes.
Rose May’s evolution as an artist took a turn when she discovered her love for Afrobeats. This newfound passion led her to Nigeria, where she collaborated with renowned producers like Young John, Kiddominant, Chopstix, Spotless, and Sovida. These collaborations infused her music with authentic Afrobeat elements, blending seamlessly with her contemporary pop sensibilities.
“MORE,” Rose May Alaba’s latest single, is yet another shining example of her growth and versatility as an artist. Released in March and quickly dominating playlists, “MORE” is a vibrant fusion of Afrohouse, amapiano and pop.
The track’s summery sound and catchy hook have made it an instant hit, striking a chord with listeners worldwide. The recently released music video, directed by Leroy Uwaifo, perfectly macthes the song’s bold spirit and thematic depth.
The video for “MORE” blends compelling choreography, emotive close-ups and stunning visual effects. It effectively translates the song’s theme of craving attention from a lover into a compelling narrative. The video opens with Rose May typing frantically at computer screens, visually depicting the obsessive nature of longing for a reply from a loved one. This imagery is contrasted with scenes of her floating weightlessly, symbolizing the painstaking feeling of waiting and the emotional highs and lows that come with it.
Commenting on making the music video, she offers, “I love creating music videos. With the new music video to my single MORE I tapped into a new world. I have never done a video that requires that much VFX and CGI. I can say it was a success and I love the outcome of it. The video has more of a colder vibe to it, which should also enhance the feeling when it comes to the lyrics of the song. Of course we had to add a little bit of choreography as well, cause after all this songs just makes you wanna dance.
