Nya Shares ‘The Real You’ Music Video

American singer and songwriter Nya has just shared the official music video for her hit single The Real You, a gorgeous pop song about uncovering one's true colours. 

 

I am a fan of Nya's lush, powerful vocals which ooze so much emotion, instantly connecting us to her relatable storytelling. Apart from her vocals I am particularly fond of the intricate acoustic guitars that are seamlessly intertwined with emotive piano chords and a steady beat that create an overall warm atmosphere that enhances the passion pouring from her voice. The Real You is a song about the memories of a bygone relationship with someone's self-performance of who they were. After revealing their real character, it is plain to see that the person was not at all who Nya thought. 

 

Shot in black and white, the video is sentimental and intimate, effectively bringing her walk down memory lane to life. The recurring time-lapse of the wilted rose symbolizes the relationship dying as time goes on. The once burning love and its spark, demonstrated with the flower on fire, has gone out. Still, the flower in color behind Nya's vocal and lyrical delivery represents her fonder flashbacks of the guise of the person she once adored. Check it out below!
