Tolü Makay has released the music video for her newest single, You Are Enough. The song, which featured on her EP, Being came out in October 2020. You Are Enough fuses elements of soul and alt-pop. The stunning song is all about the perceptions of beauty society engrains in us, making us feel down about ourselves.
The video, directed by Martina Mc Glynn and filmed in black and white, showcases Tolü’s dance moves along with her acting skills as she takes on the role of reassuring people she sees who don’t understand their worth. Her sister features in the video too. Tolü took to Instagram to thank her sister saying; “A massive thank you to my sister and Gabriel for their time in acting out this scene. You did a fantastic job! Moral of the story: Know your worth.”
Speaking to Wonderland Magazine about the video, Martina Mc Glynn said; “One of the great joys of any production is the energy that comes from collaborating. Tolu is one of the most exciting voices breaking through in the Irish music scene so to have this opportunity to work with her was very special. I’m drawn to her voice and lyrics and I really wanted to capture her striking presence on the streets of the town where she grew up. In many ways, the video is a snapshot of the beginning, starting in a small town with big dreams of finding the confidence to achieve anything you want.”
Tolü has also just announced she will be doing a few gigs around Ireland this summer. Tolü will be kicking off the mini-tour with an already sold-out show in The Grand Social in Dublin on the 28th of May, where she will do three dates there in total before heading to Róisín Dubh in Galway on the 12th of June and finishing off on the 13th of June in Cyrpus Avenue, in Cork. You can get your tickets here.
This news comes after the news that Tolü has become the highest-charting female solo artist ever on last week’s Official Irish Homegrown Chart. Her cover of The Sawdoctor’s hit N17 became the most downloaded song of the week and entered the Homegrown Chart at number 2. The song, in collaboration with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, made its debut as part of RTÉ One’s New Year’s Eve celebrations.
