My Song of the Day


Its Friday and there's a public holiday on Monday so i am bursting with excitement. Its the little things people....LOL

Okay i am profiling a Nigerian artist that i have the pleasure of knowing. Now he is one very creative man and has achieved cross over success. He has a place in Opebi where he performs every last Friday of the month and his last single is a huge hit. Yup..Its Lagbaja.

His song "So far away" is good no doubt but my favorite song on his latest cd is "Aisan" and that is my song for today. That song is jazzy, bluesy, so Lagbaja but at the same time, so not. Its soothing and complex but so simple too. I love this song soooo much and it captures how i feel today: mellow, beautiful, special and at peace.

*Let me know if you would like this song*

I have sent it. Let me know what you think. I have every intention of milking this weekend for what its worth. The government has declared Monday AND Tuesday as public holidays. I get to start 24 on Sunday

Thanks... listening to it right now. He sounds like he's high... LOL!!! When I read the name... I thought, "Why's he singing about sickness?" He's talking about love being a sickness/illness... This is really good cos it's not like regular Yoruba songs... and the instrumentals... Good.

Enjoy 24 :-)
