WHO IS TEMI DOLLFACE?

"Who is Temi DollFace?", Some of you might be wondering. I was once in your shoes until I
saw her video and was wow'd by it!



Self-styled singer/songwriter, composer,performer, producer, Temi Dollface, real name, Temi Philebosie, is a style icon to watch both in the fashion and entertainment industry. She describes her sound as "drama-soul" ( which is a first of its kind ) and her music just like her style, doesn't fit into any particular genre but a combo of all she's influenced by, such as, Stevie Wonder, Fela Kuti, James Brown, Ella Fitzgerald,  Pharell Williams, Missy Elliot etc. Her first song was written at the age of 7, while teaching herself how to play instruments.

She has interest in the art, music and styling. Temi believes styling is essential in every music and photoshoot and shows this in her work and personal style.

Now let me get to the main gist. She newly released her video "Pata Pata" which i'd say was awesome! ( if you are a fan of Janelle Monae or Lily Allen you'd love this). In this video, she describes an inevitable end of an unsatisfying relationship by saying: "Cut off your wahala sharp sharp". She portrays this idea in a very interesting way by using commercial gadgets like knives, shampoo, vacuum. Instead of these products to do the usuals which we all know them for, such as the shampoo, nails or curling of hair which makes one more appealing to their partners or the vacuum used for household cleaning, her products do the opposite, they are used to get rid of a man rather than keeping him (how metaphorical, wish it was that easy, lol), and the vacuum cleaner which she called the "Patavac" is used instead to suck up "bad vibes".





I personally love the retro styling ( of the 80's), the concept, makeup and the best part is, its fun-filled and color-popping. The fashion pieces were clearly on point!.. this is one of the essentials I look out for in a video or an entertainment piece ( apart from lyrical content ). The graphic was also touche, I loved the captions written in pidgin, fonts, and the color palettes used throughout the video, from the dresses down to the props.





I see a lot of prospect in this artist and look forward to a lot more from her. To know more about Temi Dollface, FF on twitter: @Temidollface or Google Plus: +TemiDollFace and Facebook: Temi Dollface or you can visit www.temimusic.com
