In 2013, a seismic wave of Afro-pop energy surged out of Oslo when the Norwegian duo Nico & Vinz dropped the unforgettable, heart-pumping anthem "Am I Wrong." Driven by infectious acoustic grooves and soaring, uplifting harmonies, the track was paired with a visually spellbinding music video shot on location in Botswana. Directed by Kalle Denali, the video beautifully captures the duo wandering through the lush Okavango Delta, balancing vintage television sets on their heads—a striking visual metaphor for searching for connection, purpose, and unity across the African continent.
The song blew past regional boundaries, making Nico & Vinz the first Norwegian act to crash the US Billboard Hot 100 top five since A-ha’s legendary "Take On Me" nearly thirty years earlier.
Time Capsule 2013: When this track first conquered the airwaves, the world was rapidly evolving. The year 2013 gave us the rise of Vine, saw "selfie" crowned as Oxford’s Word of the Year, and witnessed Lorde's minimalist hit "Royals" redefine global pop music. Amid this shifting digital frontier, Nico & Vinz delivered a vibrant, soul-stirring reminder to chase your dreams no matter what the doubters say.
