Wata Iska: Di'Ja

A Breath of Fresh Air

To the left is Unlimited LA

Recently, I came across an interview with music video director Unlimited LA. In the interview he named Di'ja as one of the artists he finds difficult to work with. His reason she doesn't like to show skin. Ladies and Gentlemen that is the focus of this post like I was super elated to be privy to this information. Like for real a pop star who wants their clothes on, LIKE PEOPLE FOR REAL! (I will stop with the 'like's now. My point here is she is a break from the mold.

                    

Listen to her old songs like private show, you'll see or hear (I think....for the life of me I don't which it should be) she is just like other female artists. She sings about love, sex and heartbreak like her counterparts. This is a beautiful talented woman who proves talent supersedes very gimmick. Her music is so beautiful and inspiring which explains why we don't notice how (extra) covered up she is.  

Excerpts from the music video Falling for You coincidentally directed by Unlimited L.A. In both pictures she is so fully clothed. In the picture to the right the dancers have shabba's (long slit) at two sides of the skirts (remain small e resemble cloth for rag day) and their tanks top going on. People of God not only does she have no slits whatsoever, she is wearing a scarf! (Like it is that serious ooh)   

I have never seen a belly dancers as clothed as Di'Ja in this music video. Her stylist deserves a round of applause, the costumes although different blended really well. It wasn't obvious it was a decency call.... Thanks L.A
