You saw it on Ivy’s stories: just when she thought she had finally gotten B.Ankha’s hit single *Mind Games* out of her head, she hadn’t. The R&B songstress has taken things to the next level with the *Mind Games Remix*, featuring Ya Ya for Now and Xena April. Through both the visuals and the promotion, the remix pays homage to the essence of R&B while beautifully blending it with the energy of hip-hop.
In the video, B.Ankha channels early Mary J. Blige vibes, while Ya Ya delivers a bold mix of Remy Ma and Lil’ Kim energy. Add to that the unique flair of Xena April, and you have a collaboration that ties the entire package together seamlessly.
Watching the remix video after revisiting the original *Mind Games* video highlights B.Ankha's growth and evolution as an artist. The original video, released last year, presented a vulnerable B.Ankha navigating the aftermath of a toxic relationship. It explored her struggle with the emotional weight of betrayal and her journey toward self-empowerment.
Fast forward to the remix, and the tone has shifted dramatically. This time, the trio appears in empowering, dominatrix-style outfits, hilariously smacking around a male Chippendale blow-up doll. The comedic element adds a fresh dynamic while symbolizing B.Ankha’s triumph over the manipulations of the past and her reclaiming of power.
The world is truly B.Ankha’s playground, and we can’t wait to see what this powerhouse artist brings next!
