Indie Soul Artist Black Hibiscus Releases DON'T WANNA MISS U Video

Nigerian-born & Brooklyn-based indie-soul artist Black Hibiscus releases the video for his new single “DON’T WANNA MISS U.”

“DON’T WANNA MISS U” uses the Neptunes/Timbaland-era production of the early aughts to tell a story of a relationship nearing its demise. The bouncy, bass-heavy track features Black Hibiscus and Mai Anna acting as opposing sides of a couple, with one wanting to force the issue at hand and the latter hoping to prolong the relationship and keep the peace.

“That song gave me the most hell,” admits Black Hibiscus. “I was learning to create that ‘bounce.’ It was focusing on energy rather than softer emotions.”

Black Hibiscus’ musical diversity is on full display on Growing Pains (MNRK Music Group), the musician’s latest album, which will be released on October 18, 2024. The record showcases both a broad musical spectrum and the singer’s personal growth — and the trials and tribulations that come from those life-changing experiences. It’s hectic, experimental, intimate and always unpredictable, while showcasing a thoroughly unique voice at its heart.
