Ifi Ude – My Baby Gone
Again, I’m constantly amazed by the type of music I find when I least expect it. This time it comes from Poland by way of Nigeria. Ifi Ude has a different sort of voice, a voice that forces you to take notice. The striking video for My Baby Gone further intensifies the stark contrast in style and concept from any other artist.
Because I don’t speak Polish and that’s pretty much what the description is in, I had to parse what I believed to be the relevant information. What I can tell you, however, is that there are very few videos I’ve seen that are as gorgeous as this.

Her sound reminds me a lot of Chara [1], especially the beginning and the musicality reminiscent of Sa Dingding [1]. All mixed together. xD
@amy, I know! I just love her sound. I’ll obviously have to check out Chara now… HaHa.
And thanks for information. Cuz, yeah, I had no idea what to do with that. I wrote this at work and because of our hideously outdated software and restrictions, you can imagine actually getting any further than what I had was kinda NOT going to happen… HaHa.
