VIDEO: Yumbs & Simmy – You Try
The music video for “You Try” by Yumbs and Simmy is an elegant and emotionally charged visual journey — a cinematic reflection on love, vulnerability, and self-worth. It captures the soulful depth that both artists are known for, blending Yumbs’ warm, polished production with Simmy’s ethereal voice and presence. The result is a story that feels intimate yet universal — a meditation on the courage it takes to love, lose, and still keep trying.
Yumbs and Russell Zuma recently appeared on Nhliziyo Yami.
From the first frame, the video establishes a tone of emotional introspection and visual serenity. The opening sequence is slow and cinematic — Simmy standing near a window or under soft, diffused light, the world outside muted and quiet. The gentle breeze moves through her hair as she stares out, reflecting on a relationship that once felt certain but now feels distant. The setting — a modern, minimalist interior accented with warm tones and subtle textures — sets the emotional atmosphere: beautiful but tinged with melancholy.
The cinematography is rich in texture and emotion. Every shot feels like a painting — soft light, rich contrast, and slow, deliberate camera movement. Close-ups linger on Simmy’s expressions, allowing viewers to feel her emotions rather than just see them. Her eyes tell the story: the quiet ache of someone who’s given their all but still questions whether it was enough.
Simmy’s performance is the soul of the video. Dressed in flowing fabrics that complement her graceful movements, she embodies vulnerability and strength at once. Her gestures are subtle yet powerful — the tilt of her head, the way her hands trace the air, or how she walks away slowly from the camera, as if stepping out of a memory. The color palette of her scenes leans toward muted golds, earthy browns, and deep blues, symbolizing warmth fading into reflection.
Yumbs appears throughout the video in calm, composed sequences — often in the studio, near a piano, or in nature-inspired outdoor shots. His demeanor is introspective, representing the musical backbone and emotional counterpoint to Simmy’s storytelling. The way he moves through his spaces — silent, focused, yet emotionally present — mirrors the unspoken conversation between two souls who once shared harmony but now exist in emotional distance.
