Award-winning Nigerian star Fireboy DML has kicked off 2025 with a bang, releasing the vibrant music video for “Ecstacy”, a standout track from his critically acclaimed fourth album, Adedamola.
A Cinematic Spectacle
The visuals for “Ecstacy,” directed by ace cinematographer Olu The Wave, were released on January 14, 2025. The video is a dazzling display of color and movement, featuring energetic dancers set against vibrant Lagos backdrops that perfectly capture the song’s upbeat and dynamic vibe.
This release marks the fourth music video from the Adedamola album, following previous hits “Yawa,” “Back and Forth” featuring Lagbaja, and “Iseoluwa.”
Collaboration with Seun Kuti
“Ecstacy” is enriched by the electrifying horns of Afrobeat icon Seun Kuti, whose contribution adds depth and vibrancy to the track’s infectious melodies.
