British rapper Dave has officially released the much-anticipated music video for “Raindance,” his collaboration with Nigerian superstar Tems, and it is every bit as intentional as fans had expected.
Shot in Lagos, the visual leans into atmosphere over excess. It captures movement, emotion, and a raw sense of place that mirrors the reflective tone of the track. Lagos does not just serve as a backdrop here — it feels like part of the story, grounding the song in lived experience and cultural depth.
Raindance arrives shortly after the release of Dave’s latest album, The Boy Who Played the Harp, as well as Chapter 16 featuring Kano. The timing feels deliberate, reinforcing Dave’s current creative run — one that blends vulnerability, growth, and global collaboration.
The collaboration with Tems also comes full circle. Earlier this year, Dave made an appearance in Tems’ music video for “Mine,” and “Raindance” feels like a natural continuation of that artistic exchange. Their chemistry is subtle but effective, allowing the music to breathe without forcing spectacle.
