“Wait a Minute” by Ayanis
“Wait a Minute” is the title of a song released by American R&B/Soul singer Ayanis in November of 2018. In “Wait a Minute”, Ayanis devotes an awful amount of attention on the topic of romantic love. She finds herself deeply in love with a guy. However, she clearly isn’t in a hurry to take the relationship to the next level. Although she likes the guy a lot, she wants to take her time (“wait a minute”) with the whole love affair.
Below is the official music video for Ayanis’ “Wait a Minute”. The video was directed by Monseé and produced by Omar Reynoso. It was published on YouTube on November 16, 2018. The clip stars American actor and singer Tristan Wilds (also known as Mack Wilds). Wilds plays Ayanis’ love interest in the video.
