NEW MUSIC: NIKKI LAOYE FEAT. PRESH P - LOYAL (CHRIS BROWN COVER)



Nigerian Soul Singer, Nikki Laoye takes a feminine swipe at Chris Brown's smash hit "LOYAL".
Turning the tables around with the phrase "These Guys Ain't Loyal", Nikki steps into the booth and creates a catchy version, illustrating the lies that men tell..some of them, that is while R&B artiste, Presh P steps up for the guys.
The song was recorded in just an hour and in her own words, Nikki says "I just had to jump on this track. The beat is bangin' and the idea to do the female version wouldn't let me rest. Lol! I hope everyone likes it and hey, to all the jokers out there, Treat your lady like the Queen she is..We remain Loyal"

Etoma is brought to life with its soft-rock feel laced with African drums, soaked in Joan’s infectious vocals, masterfully produced by Cold Flames. Joan switches fluidly from English to her ethnic Bahumono and Legbo languages of Cross River State.

In her words:
“Dedicated to my motherland, to my state,Cross River state and to my blessed fatherland - Nigeria and to every man, woman, child, boy and girl who makes up the population of this sovereign state.
Though hit and tossed from every corner by the so cold unknown forces, we are stronger than ever before because we are champions.
The blood of our loved ones who have passed on innocently is all over the land,
screaming to the living to fear absolutely nothing. 
Though we be little and a few, greater is He, the King and Lord who is in Nigeria than
 he who is in them who only pry and hide in the dark.
God bless my fatherland”

Go ahead and Download ‘Etoma’ and let Joan inspire you to dream and believe again in yourself and in Nigeria…"Go ahead…what is it? What are you afraid of?"
