JEALOUSY - AKA

AKA’s #Jealousy music video trends in South Africa – A game changer for the South African music scene

AKA’s new track, Jealousy, came to life yesterday in a one of a kind music video that debuted on MTV Base. There has been lots of speculation surrounding the music video when an impressive list of an all-star cast was released a few days ago; announcing the video featured the likes of Bonang Matheba, Da Les, Dj Fanatic, Khuli Chana, Twins on Deck, and Dj Cleo. No-one however, saw the cameo by Benni McCarthy coming. Benni’s feature took everyone by surprise and got AKA fans tweeting making the hashtag #JealousyVid trend in South Africa, shortly after its 4pm debut.

The video was shot around three locations in Johannesburg. It includes a strip club scene, hood scene, and a seductive scene with AKA and the gorgeous and highly talented, Bonang Matheba. “I'm a VERY big fan of AKA, his team and his work ethic. When he asked me to be part of his new project I was MORE than honoured. I'm excited for everyone to see this video. It’s gonna be amazing!! Well done to him :)“ shares Bonang Matheba.

There have been rumours that the Jealousy video has broken a record for being the most expensive made music video in South Africa by a local artist, well surpassing the 100k mark. Benza from Vth Season, AKA’s record label and management, has denied this rumour. Benza rather commented that “AKA and Molotov have created a game changing Video. The effort, time, skills, creativity and energy comes oozing out of the video. Music and video lovers are going to appreciate it. We at Vth Season are excited to be a part of this process”.

Regardless of the price tag, the Jealousy music video sets a new standard in the South African entertainment industry, and is something all South Africans can be proud of.

The Jealousy track has started play listing at various radio stations across the country and is already quickly making its way up the Top 30 and Top 40 Charts.

“I hope you enjoy my new video called Jealousy. I'm especially proud of the song because it’s a fresh new sound. I'm excited to see the reaction when it’s dropped on Mtvbase. Aaahaaha #Jealousy” AKA

        

STR.CRD 2012 MUTTA SHOES

STR.CRD 2012 is proud to announce its exclusive partnership with a MUTTA Shoes; an independent project of crafted footwear founded in 2010, created by the designer Matheus Simões Pires. A 22 year old product design student and a footwear design technician from Costa of Porto Alegre, Brazil.

  ‘After meeting Matheus on our European tour, we found it obvious that we needed to invite him to STR.CRD 2012. As part of the BRICS group, our countries share so many areas of co-operation that it only makes sense to create a cultural collaboration as well. As a 'New Entrepreneur' his story serves as an inspiration to African youth at large about how we can create sustainable small businesses using our passions as a launch pad.’ this is what Hardy McQueen – STR.CRD founder had to say about the partnership between MUTTA shoes and STR.CRD 2012

The footwear collection will also be exhibited at the respective brand’s pop up shop on the 28th and 29th September 2012 for purchase and order placements. Matheus Simões Pires is also one of the scheduled STR.CRD 2012 international partners who will be facilitating an open forum designer engagement with STR.SESSIONS attendees on Saturday, 29th September 2012, at OPEN from 3-5pm.

“I started making shoes two years ago because I could not find shoes with the design, quality and exclusivity I wanted. I fell in love with footwear designing and the production process. I later found out that people liked what I was designing and started producing and selling my designs. The rest is hard work and history.” stated Matheus.

The idea of creating MUTTA Shoes grew out of the difficulty of finding custom models with superior quality. MUTTA Shoes are created in a series of workshops by experienced artisans. Mutta's creations are focused on quality, originality and uniqueness. “Something classic and crafted with an experimental feel” as Matheus describes.

Mutta's clients belong to a group of creative minds seeking the same goals and ideals as the brand. It promotes a change on the way the consumer relates to its footwear brand. The creation is made intertwined with the customer, generating an innovative result. “It was a natural process. Once I was the one making the shoes, I was able to give people the opportunity of changing the design and that made them want them even more, not only because of the product but because of this involvement on its development” The shoes are made at a series of craftsman studios and small factories in small quantities; each shoe is made separately from the others, so it is not a big line of production where products are rushed through the hands of workers. This intimate process of production creates an emotional connection with the worker, who puts time, care and knowledge on the piece, improving final quality and soul to the product. The shoes are produced with the use of superior quality materials and limited quantities; there is involvement of community workers and have a distinctive packaging and overall presentation.

All MUTTA Shoes are made on demand and production takes up to 30 days. All available styles can be viewed and purchased on their web store here: http://store.muttashoes.com.br/
