A true pop-it girl in every sense, Essosa moves fluidly between singing, dancing, and world-building, crafting an immersive universe across her music and visuals. The project shifts between dance-driven anthems and sultry ballads, while drawing inspiration from icons like Janet Jackson, Mary J. Blige, and Madonna, alongside contemporary touchpoints such as PinkPantheress.

 

The official video for “Missing U,” the EP’s focus track, finds Essosa left on read and deep in the slow unravel of a stalled situationship — until she decides she’s had enough. What starts in her bedroom quickly shifts into a surreal escape, as she turns to movement, manifestation, and main-character energy to reset her mindset. Blurring VHS, film, and digital textures, the video turns heartbreak into a bright act of self-reclamation.
