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”

Multi-Talented Recording artist, FLOROCKA has just released another single, "You are Good", off his recently released double CD album, The Worship Sessions Volume 1 & 2.
A beautiful collaboration with the award winning singer, Nikki Laoye, the song is a soul stirring masterpiece of worship, superbly delivered by the two artists.
FLOROCKA speaks about the inspiration and creation of the song -
"Whilst working on the 2nd volume of my Worship Sessions Album, I felt the urge to write about the goodness of God (Jesus Christ) to me. I had long yearned for a song that could give me room to express my gratitude. I then decided to title the song exactly the way i ‘felt’ - ‘YOU ARE GOOD’.
I had just recently recorded the instrumentals and i’d begun voicing my lead vocals but i encountered a problem. I simply couldn’t go past verse One! The thought of a collabo never really crossed my mind and as such i kept biting at the song till i eventually got stuck! I’m extremely particular about who i feature on a song a lot of times. I love singers who pay attention to detail; singers who sing enunciate every nuance and observe the mood of the song, not just flinging riffs and runs at every space in between the the backing vocals. I love a singer who knows how to be true to the ‘song’ and not just the melodies behind the song in itself.
I thought hard for a female whom i could feature and just then Nikki Laoye gives my mobile a buzz! Speak of perfect timing! I immediately asked her if she was game on a collaboration and she said YES! In less than 16 hours Nikki was at my ‘workshop’ (that’s what my buddy Mike Abdul loves to call my studio - only God knows why!!!). We discussed the song in depth and I succinctly expressed the inspiration behind the song. Nikki wanted to know what i expected of her - a rare attribute. Most eager singers would simply jump on the song in excitement and miss the very essence for which they were called upon for the collabo in the first instance.
Nikki also besides being a soulful and versatile singer understands the ‘taste, touch and scent’ of music. She leaves no detail in a limbo. I take pleasure in making the best of good musicians and as such i decided i was going to write ‘vernacular’ lyrics for Nikki to sing - not just your everyday road-worthy vernacular lyrics. It was an interesting session as i watched Nikki soak herself in the song. We had to stop the recording at some point because Nikki became quite emotional. That was a sight i hadn’t seen in about 15years of my recording career. I watched Nikki emote with such purity, i knew we’d nailed the song. A few spices of known songs here and there and the song was a wrap! Finally the song song was released on my second album - The Worship Sessions 2. If you haven’t gotten yourself a copy, you don’t know what you’re missing.
Nikki and Florocka aren’t done yet - keep your fingers crossed!"
The Worship Sessions Volume 1 & 2 is available at Laterna Ventures (Oko Awo road, Opp Eko Hotel, VI); Bible Wonderland (Surulere) and every online retail store - iTunes, Amazon etc.

Nikki Laoye addressing the women
Speaking about the initiative, Nikki Laoye says "It is really a sad situation in the north for our fellow brothers and sisters and we do pray for God's help and strength to our troops to quench this invasion once and for all. In the meantime, We have to look out for our own and do what we can to soothe their pains. They are in constant need of food, water, clothing and more to survive daily as they rebuild their lives once again. It's the little we can do. I say a big God bless you to everyone who has donated and supported this initiative – We are Strong Together, Thank you".
Nikki Laoye and her foundation kicked off The Angel Relief Fund last month, with the support and donations of well meaning individuals, organisations and her fellow colleagues in the entertainment industry.
A social media campaign was also created with specially designed promo pictures of celebrities speaking out for a better Nigeria and soliciting for more support for the displaced in the North which were shared on their social media platforms to create further awareness amongst their fan network. They also supported the relief fund with personal donations.
Some of the celebrities include Yemi Alade, Show Dem Camp, Faith Yebo, Steve Babaeko, Anny Ibrahim, Seyi Shay, Oscar & Titi Oyinsan , Waje, Rotimi Keys, Lara George, Kiki Omeili, Niyola, Ada Ehi, Olaitan Dada, Frank Edwards, Emma Nyra, Timi Dakolo, Monique, Sammie Okposo, Joe Praize, Mike Abdul, Onos, Ibitayo Jeje, Omenesa, Gaise Baba, Praiseworld Radio, Capital F.E.M.I, Do2Dtun of Cool FM, Uche Nnaji of OUCH, ToluFame, Jenny O (HipTV Presenter) and many more.
