Rating: 5/10

There’s a reason many chart-topping music singles are collaborations rather than solo efforts. You see, the synergy produced between two artistes (even when they are mismatched like Akothee and

Undoubtedly, the Godfather-produced My Sweet Love video does, indeed, glitter with a TV-commercial-quality visual appeal throughout.

However, from the artistes’ looks to their vocal textures, to their swag, and even down to their on-screen chemistry, Akothee and Diamond are disturbingly “musically-discordant”. It’s like putting Ben Githae and Nicki Minaj on the same track.
