The video was shot by Karl Durrant, of Global Video Concepts, at various locations in Kingston, namely The Big Ship Studio and Q 45.

The plot sees Elephant Man making moves at the acrobatic female artiste while she plays hard to get, meanwhile mocking his ability to 'perform', hence the title Can You Manage.

The singjay, who hails from Red Hills Road, said she has been doing music for over four years and observed that the major challenge is getting songs in regular rotation on radio stations.

She also said that fans should expect a difference in her music. "Mi a bring high-energy entertainment to the music and extra vibes."

"It ago mad, suh please look out for that, among others," she said. Elephant Man recently performed at Reggae Sumfest and is currently busy recording and releasing new songs for the summer.
