At last, the world has said goodbye to 2014. But just like in every sphere of life, the music industry has thrown up amazing talents last year. The works by some of these singers, we believe will continue to rule the air waves in 2015.
PATORANKING: This dance hall artiste is perhaps the biggest prospect witnessed in the Nigerian music sphere in 2014, when he recorded and released his single, Alubarika ft Timaya.
The success of Alubarika was soon followed by another smash hit single, Girlie o, which later featured Tiwa Savage in the remix. Patoranking soon found his way to music lovers’ hearts, both home and abroad, as they kept demanding for more. Interestingly, he gave a double response to their yearnings with Early Momo and Happy Day. With a unique voice that brings life to any reggae dance hall beat, he jumps on, couple with his uncanny ability to ink lyrics that cut across demographics, as well as the multiple collaborations he has had the previous year. 2015 will surely give this young star a listening ear.
YEMI ALADE
In showbiz, it is said that sex sells, and if this is so, then Yemi Alade has no fear to aim high in 2015.
A look at the songstress on stage, one will clearly see a sexy vocalist, dancer and an all-round entertainer who blossomed in 2014 and who is ready to take her game to the next level.
For years, after emerging winner at Peak Talent hunt, Yemi struggled to find her rhythm until she found a blend of high life and Makosa with which she delivered intoxicating tracks such as Johnnie and kissing, produced by Sele Bobo.
With her reported hard work, captivating voice, her breathtaking dance steps, the singer may be one of the queens that will rule Nigerian music in 2015
CYNTHIA MORGAN
There seems to be a direct connection between Cythia’s change of skin complexion and her fortunes in the music industry. Before travelling to the United States, the dark-skinned singer did burst into the music scene, featuring in Jhybo’s Run their mouth, upon her return from the U.S., Cynthia wasted no time in making a statement with the release of Break my heart, and soon followed it up with the release of Am Taken. Signed to North Side Records, a label owned by P-Square’s elder brother and manager, Jude Okoye, Cynthia, it appears, will not lack the necessary muscle to race up the ladder in the music scene in 2015, giving her great understanding of reggae dance hall and her flexibility of singing and rapping effortlessly.
HARRYSONG SONG
Success for Five Star Music act, Harrysong, looks as certain as the rising of the morning sun, giving his talents as a music producer, multi instrumentalist and vocalist.
For years, Harrysong looked the under achiever in the Nigerian music industry but that tagged soon changed when he wrote the ground-breaking hit single Limpopo for KC. Harrysong further enhanced his status as an authentic talent when he recorded the hit caller tune-Mandela for telecommunications company, MTN, as tribute to the late South African leader, Nelson Mandela.
The successes of the aforementioned coupled with the release of Better Pikin and Kolombo are likely to impact Harrysong musical fortunes in 2015.
ORITSE FEMI
Going by the popular saying that ‘everything has got its time and season’, Oritse Femi’s journey into music has been filled with twists and turns. He has always been a constant figure in the scene, but his songs have always been minor hits up until the period he released Better for every man, a song that touched the core of human existence and hence the popularity of the track. He soon followed that up with Fela Anikulapo’s inspired track Double Wahala. After this, the story changed for the better for the artiste who soon began rocking music stages across the world.
The confidence he has drawn from his recent success will definitely serve as a spring board for Oritse Femi to do bigger things next year.
