In this video, is a story of two lovebirds (Montess and Mr. Leo) who seem to love each other unconditionally. The scenes change from them getting together in the local market and showing off their love regardless of their class in society, to other scenes where they seem to be more well to do and even more passionately in love with each other. Although it wasn’t clear if the two are from a different class, it is clear they are not going to let societal status separate them.

Our favorite scene is on the old rusted ship, where the two lovers mimic a scene from the blockbuster movie Titanic (an intense love story of two lovers from different classes in society who met on a cruise ship fall in love with each other dispute all odds). But Queen Montess and Mr. Leo make their version of the “Titanic scene” more fun with their flirty dance moves.

Despite the strong message of love, Passe Partout should be on everyone’s playlist because it’s a fun song, that can be listened to anywhere; in the car, at the gym etc and can be danced to at any party. It’s a clean song with a message and the beats are pleasant to the ear. The song was produced by Akwandor, a pro in making fun love songs while the video was directed by Dr. Nkeng Stephens.
The stylist for the video did a good job in creating a variety of fresh clean, simple looks and the attention to details did not go unnoticed as seen when the video zoomed in on Mr. Leo’s spotless white sneakers.The emphasis on white, a color that signifies purity could be a metaphor of their love as love is pure or it signifies the “pure love” they have for each other. In our opinion, Passe Partout deserves as much airplay and recognition as it can possibly get as the song is meaningful and groovy. We can already see it being one of 2019’s favorite collabo picks and we think this song will be one of Montess’s top hit songs.
