What? Why??! Nneka is totally awesome... U know what? I bet it's this lousy algorithm piece of junk, serving people way too much of all that watered-down mainstream stuff and all the other pabulum, that the music industry is so eager to promote. Pity. I gotta say, I just came across this tune literally a couple of minutes ago - and I instantly fell in love with her. And Heartbeat.🤘
I heard this song yesterday in the car at 7 in the morning (in Germany). I immediately stopped at the baseline, turned up the volume ... wow ... and it gets better all the time. This is one of these songs where you remember where you where and what you were doing for the rest of your life. Truly an amazing piece of art indeed ......
2023 here. Just had her name browsing my mind from mémoires. Saw her in concert in Kings Cross back on 2009. Pure soul and talent. Cant find any recent materials from her sadly
Conspiracy I agree about the chase and status remix I think it's so good coz they sorta kept it original just put a drum and bass spin on it ruclips.net/video/qUsm3PCoGIE/видео.html
I discovered Nneka's music when I was a teenager growing up in Spanish Harlem. Her unique sound and powerful lyrics resonated with me on a deep level, especially her song "Heartbeat." It spoke to my struggles of growing up in a marginalized community, but also gave me hope and empowerment. Nneka's music has taught me to use my voice to speak out for what I believe in and that I can make a difference in the world. Love you Nneka
Cringe So a light skin Nigerian growing up in dark skin Nigeria is growing up in a marginalized community? But way to make it about yourself... narcissism and runs deep in cringe world 😂
Peaceful protesters were shot at today at Lekki Toll Gate, in Lagos Nigeria. And all i could hear was this song play in my head. My heart is beating...blood keeps rushing 💔
Just found this. This is amazing. There's an urgency to the instrumentals and her voice that give emotion to the message so well. This is beautiful. I hear people fighting the narratives of society's continuous improvement with schools of thought like "we've come a long way, we're way better than we were before", but to me, it's never ok to stop looking for progress's next step. Capitalism and democracy may be the best economic and government systems humanity has come up with yet, but it's not perfect and we're still riddled with corruption. We can do better and we should do better. We deserve better, from all of us, but especially from our leaders.
Thanking youtube recommendations returning to aiding in addiction to dope music. Always the best trips just hours of following wherever it takes you. It was the best way years ago to find unheard gems and older forgotten ones. And this is a gem no doubt
Thanks a lot for your song! I’ve been a numerous times in Ghana and Guinea and it always made me feel terrible that I don’t do enough ! I am in Ukraine now and my family is seating in shelter ! And your song still helps me go through ❤
You can only appreciate the meaning of the lyrics if at least one in your life you have been to nigeria feeling its streets full of life mixed with joy and the ongoing struggle for a better future, if you have experimented at least once how is dealing with its currupted political class (at every level). This song is poetry, intelligent, moving, deep. Thanks for your great work Nneka
Это супер, я вас давно слышала и не знала кто поет и сегодня я вас знаю в лицо, уважаю. Обняла из России. Вы очень хорошо поете. Прошло больше пяти лет и я слава богу вас нашла. Мир всем моим братьям т сёстрам. ❤❤❤
This song rests one of my favorites of all artists I ever listened to. Thank you, Nneka ! so many years now that I feel good when I hear this "HHHH ..."
I dont know hot to describe this song... It Just gives you feel that there is something important in the world. Something bad whats happening. It lets you see things... Its actually sad...I cant really tell how it makes me feelll.... This is masterpiece...
Who's here in 2023 to savour this? I just got back here in 2023 to be in sync with this classic. I still get the same rush of adrenaline listening to this!
I dunno why this song popped into my head recently.... Been so long since I heard it. They usually played it on DRTV, Warri back in the day.. 2008-ish...
Man as much as it pains me to say it. It ain't going to change shit. If anything it will give the racists even more of a reason to hate. The thing I didn't like is when they targeted Churchills statue. If it wasn't for him we would all be an arian race blonde hair blue eyes.
@@metwix yeah but thing is with that attitude (I'll do this because they done that it worked before and it will work again kind of shit) the world isn't going to move forward at all it just makes people hate more. Its fucked up yeah but all this over a criminal, yeah the bloke was upset and stressed out from what I've seen in the video but jesus there's worse shit happening in the world right now other than a black man who was a criminal losing his life to a bunch of police. Just my 2 cents.

2023 NNEKA FOREVER
So sad africa especially Nigerians don't recognize such genres of music, she's too underrated here☹️. I'm forever a fan Nneka🥰
Almost as bad as a feminist roommate dismissing it as the recommendation came from a dude.
What? Why??! Nneka is totally awesome... U know what? I bet it's this lousy algorithm piece of junk, serving people way too much of all that watered-down mainstream stuff and all the other pabulum, that the music industry is so eager to promote. Pity.

Same in America.
You're correct... But I think some managed to be reckoned with like Asa and Cobhams
Amo essa música!
2024
Still heartbeating
I heard this song yesterday in the car at 7 in the morning (in Germany). I immediately stopped at the baseline, turned up the volume ... wow ... and it gets better all the time. This is one of these songs where you remember where you where and what you were doing for the rest of your life. Truly an amazing piece of art indeed ......
You’re a goofball
You know she’s half German too!
Word
2021, thank God
Starting this year with grace ❤🙌
2023 here. Just had her name browsing my mind from mémoires. Saw her in concert in Kings Cross back on 2009. Pure soul and talent. Cant find any recent materials from her sadly
On Spotify! She's released two albums on the last couple of years.
She’s performing in Ghana today!
I was going through my old playlists and I rediscovered Nneka in 2024. I love it here 🥰
i looked for this song for close to 12 years. Glad i finally found it
the same here😄
So few Nigerians know her. She's too underrated.
I only know her cause when I was really young my mum played this and I slightly remember the lyrics now I'm listening to the full song
Really? What a shame 😮 I’m South African and I’m a huge fan of Nneka I even named my daughter after her❤
@@duchesstyra That's wonderful
I’m just confused as to why I haven’t heard this before. It’s soo good
check out the chase and status remix of this song. i litteraly cannot decide which one is better, they are both better xD
I'm really confused, I was like "oh seems like a hit of then" but I don't remember this.. Why?.. This is good!
Conspiracy I agree about the chase and status remix I think it's so good coz they sorta kept it original just put a drum and bass spin on it

Go and listen to her other stuff.. she is so good...
Same here. Just heard it for the 1st time last night.

Timeless
My PaperMy Paper
and it won't, I guess, cuz they still don't see the pain they causing. ;(
Peaceful protesters were shot at today at Lekki Toll Gate, in Lagos Nigeria. And all i could hear was this song play in my head. My heart is beating...blood keeps rushing 💔
This is one of the most underrated songs ever! 😍📿📿
Just heard Nneka singing this song in Sines World Music Festival in Portugal. Still amazing after so many years. Thank you Nneka!
goosebumps... goosebumps everywhere ❤
She's so PRETTY!!!!
Christmas eve 2024, still resonates.
14 years, damn time sure flies away u_u
Ganz tolle, starke, stolze mega Frau !!!! 👌🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Many years have passed but I always come back to her music ❤

BAAM BAAM BAAM BAAM BAAM BAAM....

Crazy I’m just discovering this masterpiece now, it’s nuts🔥. She sings like Asa. Shout out to 9ja, love from Cameroon.
Just remembered this song. Omg how long it’s been. Now it’s already 2023
music has no expiration date ♡

😂😂😂😂😂😂
Brilliant, unbelievable, unforgettable, extremely tense.
TOTALLY HITS THE SPOT
Masterpiece without need to show nothing more then her art
You can only appreciate the meaning of the lyrics if at least one in your life you have been to nigeria feeling its streets full of life mixed with joy and the ongoing struggle for a better future, if you have experimented at least once how is dealing with its currupted political class (at every level). This song is poetry, intelligent, moving, deep. Thanks for your great work Nneka
Everywhere on this planet is an ongoing (uphill) struggle for a better future, but only very very few places have joy ...
it's about africans. not about you (:
Larissa It's art. It's for everybody. People can read it the way they feel.
I. NOUS. ,,
I dont have to go to nigeria to know it, i was born and raised in Guatemala
I’ll always come back to this
Haven't listened to her in a while. Forgot just how fantabulous she is!
Played this song when it came out and now listening again 2024
2024 sagt hallo.
Immer noch ein Hammer Song.
First time I heard this song but one of the best songs I ever heard. The music industry needs more authentic expressions like this. Priceless!
Just seeing and hearing this girl for the first time. She is good. Pure beauty.
Love this song so much. 2022 and still so relevant. Thank you Nneka 💖
❤️ NNEKA you are amazing
Это супер, я вас давно слышала и не знала кто поет и сегодня я вас знаю в лицо, уважаю. Обняла из России. Вы очень хорошо поете.
Прошло больше пяти лет и я слава богу вас нашла.

God this is far from ordinary, super sick I dont know why back in time we listened to Chase and Status remix but the original is a f masterpiece
I dont know hot to describe this song... It Just gives you feel that there is something important in the world. Something bad whats happening. It lets you see things... Its actually sad...I cant really tell how it makes me feelll.... This is masterpiece...
Saudades dessa música! Já lá vão os anos..
What an overwhelmingly beautiful heart.
Instrumental is incridible
Madh ha fatto la versione remix ed è stato fenomenale..non avrei mai conosciuto questa splendida canzone senza di lui.Doveva vincere lui!!!
2021 and still a hit!!
She is so gorgeous
Obrigada aos morangos com açúcar por nos dar esta perola ❤ tanta nostalgia 🥹
We Nigerians really underrate Nneka 😢
She deserve a grammy award
Who care about grammys? 😂
How old are you?
Beautiful voice, Beautiful soul and truly a Beautiful woman! Women like her are rare these days
This was sampled and was a big hit in the UK for Rita Ora, it's called RIP ft Tinie Tempa
with the beat, I really feel my heart beating. Love Nneka, love the deep lyrics, love the beat.
Forever a classic 2023 💚💚💚💚💚
This song is so amazing.
Just heard her singing it yesterday in Kyiv! Oh wow, she's so good live. Better than any records
i love her voice!
This song is deep. Deeper, I believe, than most of you realize.
Glad to see people still listen to this.. , i never hear it random ..
There is so much going on in this video, makes me re-evaluate my whole life.
Now this is real music🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I can't stop listening to this song.
My God !!! It takes me waaaaay back in time !! Still love this though (: !
Love and light♡
just amazing. Those piano cords too, I would kill for just an solo of those.
after so many re-listens, I feel the drummers influence is as underrated toward the allure of this song as the songs overall popularity is underrated.
One of the best songs EVER !!!!!
Anyone in 2020?
Hoducoma We here ✊🏾
No worries song is beyond the time...
Awesome! Memories 😁
....
Sim!
This song will never get old💗
This song will always get me emotional 😭 one of my favourite songs foreverrrr ♥️ so underrated

This song has such a powerful message in it
Cokeboy 3000 yes it does, especially people who think it’s all about them, when it’s not!

Qui dopo x factor di stasera.. grazie mille.. spettacolare
Io finalmente ho trovato il nome di questa canzone grazie a xfactor
2022 over here.
I wish there was a Choral remix of this song with chorus. And maybe a bit of heavy metal. ✌️
Rita ora's song RIP was inspired by this? the part "Can you feel my heart is beating"
Morangos com Açúcar 7 #saudades
This is one of those songs that can just give me chills
pure emotion in this!
Watched her 90 minutes live in Covent Garden, she smaller than you’d think, somehow voice deeper. Unforgettable evening
Superb talent
Still here strong in 23
Who's here in 2023 to savour this? I just got back here in 2023 to be in sync with this classic. I still get the same rush of adrenaline listening to this!
❤
Brilliance....2023
2024 here
this is bliss. still love this song !!!!
🔥 i like how unique of a song this is. You can feel the depths of her hurt
I'm only going to say that this song is perfect.
with it, I wake up every morning.
Right on. Prudent choice👍
I love this song!!! 2022, I dont always leave comments. I love listening to this song, when the craziness of this world gets to me.
don't know how I've gone this long without ever hearing this. so happy I came across you on RUclips. I feel this song in my bones. incredible talent!
I dunno why this song popped into my head recently.... Been so long since I heard it. They usually played it on DRTV, Warri back in the day.. 2008-ish...
I was just sitting and I remembered this girl and decided to search her up again. I used to have a crush on her when I was younger. 🙂
2016 !!! it´s Beautiful Song.......
Brasil, Ceará, Cariri, Juazeiro do Norte
Listening to this during the 2020 protests/riots
👍
same here

@@Jax-fd4eu Riots and protests are how we got our civil rights in the first place so why wouldn't it work now?
@@metwix yeah but thing is with that attitude (I'll do this because they done that it worked before and it will work again kind of shit) the world isn't going to move forward at all it just makes people hate more.

No matter the year, Always Nneka :)
Great music is timeless! Love this woman! ❤️❤️❤️
