To Olamide - Women Saying No Is Not Story For The Gods - It is Rape!

Posted in: , ,

There are a lot of Nigerian songs I do not bother checking out or listening to when they come out, unless I am specifically recommended by a review of someone I trust their judgment in music. I'll listen to the oldies, 2Face and PSquare, and most of the female singers, but the male hip-hop artistes often lose me completely.

So the Story For The Gods single completely bypassed me till a friend brought it to my attention. Unfortunately, it was not in a good way.

Hello Myne, Please have you heard the song by one Olamide? Story for the gods? Please can you listen to it and tell me if I am over reacting? Am I dreaming or is he trying to glorify 'rape'? I cannot listen to the song but I have seen the lyrics and I am scandalised!

Eminem in particular is more known for his disturbingly dark material some detailing his problems with his family, his mother, ex-wife, daughter and his fantasies of harming them or even killing them.

Waje - No Be You [Music Video Romance]

Posted in: , , ,

Waje proves her acting chops once again in the music video for No Be You, which has a story that reminded me a lot of the short film Blink and had the same actor Deyemi Okanlawon, as the lead. But she is also the queen of soul music, drawing out the emotions in her words, though I think she stumbles a little over the pidgin lyrics.

Meet Real-life Princess Jasmine Singing A Whole New World 22 Years Later

Posted in: , ,

Lea Salonga is the lady beside Princess Jasmine above and she provided the singing voice for the animated character. Somehow, I've always thought that Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle performed the music for "A Whole New World" in Disney's Aladdin, now I know better. I also didn't know the voice behind my favorite princess Jasmine and Mulan was one and the same. As they say, we learn everyday.

It's been 22 years since she took her first magic carpet ride, and earlier this year, 43-year-old Lea Salonga teamed up with Il Divo for an amazing rendition of “A Whole New World.” Check it out below...

#WeAreHere - Alicia Keys Talks About Isreal, Gaza, and Nigeria, In New Inspirational Song

Posted in: , ,

This is what "Alicia Keys" wrote about We Are Here.

The day I wrote this song, I was sitting in a circle of people of all ages and we were asked, “Why are you here.” Why am I here?? This really hit me on a deep level. I realized no one had ever asked me that question before.

As I prepare to give birth to a new child, I can't help and think about the world I'm bringing my baby into. No matter where we come from, when we see the state of the world today, we can all feel the growing frustration and desire to make a difference. And we all have a voice - we just need to know how to make it heard.

I have a vision that I believe is more than a dream, that I know can be our reality.
