Freshly out for our listening pleasure is another beautiful song which is vehemently breaking with the Nigerian norm of music, but yet palatably lavished with huge Afro feel that leaves one wondering if Barry White had actually resurrected in him.
The
6ft6 tall, 22 year-old Adekanbi Adedipo A.K.A D!PO, tells me that the exclamation
mark in his name comes from the wow-factor he has that makes people go ‘D!’
and ladies, more especially, go ‘Dear Lord!’ also. I couldn’t believe till I
got the clip of his audition on Nigerian Idol.
His sensual baritone and his Viking height got the female judge
daydreaming with lips wide apart from ear to ear. Hmm… little wonder he got
himself a golden ticket. Ladies, this guy is the perfect ladies’ man.
You just can’t believe that this dude that hails from Ekiti State and attended Covenant university, one of the prestigious schools in Nigeria, could redefine music in a very spectacular way.
Today, he
officially releases his first ever song titled ‘My Lady’, which has got thousands
of downloads on the internet to its credit . Wow! A fresh act with such response? I checked
it out and saw the reason it garnered so much in just a short while.
First, I
couldn’t help but get carried away by the soulful nature of the Afro laden countryside
music… halfway pidgin and then… that calming big baritone calls out “My Lady”.
It is indeed a perfect song for the ladies. The song is classy and yet
indigenous, with very powerful Afro ambiance and the best backup vocals I have ever
heard.
‘My Lady’ was produced by the giant in the Nigerian music industry, Masquerade. I guess the name rings a bell. If it does, then trust me, you are definitely in for a big shock of your life… oh , a good shock though...lol.
He is about to start working on the video of ‘My
Lady’, and I already have beautiful ideas of how the video will look like. For a
song like that, that cuts across two cultural plains; fusing western and
African… Uh huh.. You know what I mean.
This song is, without a doubt, going to leave a good taste in your mouth.
Itching to
listen already? Lol… Do click https://my.notjustok.com/
