Nigeria’s
king of soul; Timi Dakolo has announced the release of his second single ‘Wish
Me Well’ off his forthcoming album; Love and Consequences.
Timi
Dakolo draws inspiration for this single from his days as a young boy in PortHarcourt
just before West African Idols, going through the harsh events of life. “I have had
it bad, from days with no money to pay my school fees, having to survive by
selling pure
water, pushing wheelbarrows for money, it has been tough. I remember when Idols came
calling, I knew this was my opportunity to make it, I picked my bags and moved
to see
what would happen. I was scared, but if I didn’t, I wonder where I would be.”
The
song which has a melodious play of several instruments and strong vocal
delivery as a
result of another collaboration with iconic Cobhams Asuquo.
Moving from the highlife
tune of Iyawo Mi, this single ‘Wish Me Well’ has a more western feel.
Timi
Dakolo said “When the desire to be great takes sleep away from your eyes and fear
from your mind, you might not know how you will make it or get there. You pick
up your
bags and move with just your dreams, fears and worry, for the desire to achieve
is greater
than the fear of the unknown, all loved ones can do is wish you well”
