Press Release For Aisé Maryah New Single Wish

 

  Indie Pop singer-songwriter from Maiduguri, Borno State, Aisé Maryah releases her second official single “Wish”, a follow up on the success of her debut. She debuted in the Nigerian music industry on 1st July, 2021 with “Fool For U” and to build on the reception she received, she is here with “Wish”, an Afro-Soul romantic ballad record intertwined with alternative pop sound – a song fantasizing for the presence and affection of a significant other. The song was produced by Drizzle, an emerging music producer from Bauchi State.


“The most interesting about her, is the region she hails from: the North-Eastern part of Nigeria is largely made of conservative  Muslims and not many would expect a wide-eyed girl from that axis to venture into secular music,” wrote Jerry Chiemke, the Editor-In-Chief, Afrocritik in his review of Aisé Maryah’s debut. He went ahead and described Aisé Maryah  as “The Talented Teenager Hoping To Carve a Niche as a Nigerian Indie Pop Artiste.”

You can find and follow her across all social media platforms @AiseMaryah.

0RACLESHAUN BLAZES A NEW TRAIL WITH HIS EXPLORATIVE DEBUT EP, 'FOR COOL KIDS'

 


With brilliantly carved songs that explore different sides of him in several elements, all making up his greatly anticipated EP, For Cool Kids, self-made and experimental music artiste, 0racleShaun opens yet another new path and makes a fresh statement in the Nigerian music industry, as a contemporary, versatile and modern music artiste. Swimming in the rivers of unconventional and unique genres, this bouquet of four beautifully crafted songs took cues from several genres such as RnB, trap and Afrobeats to consciously articulate 0racleShaun's style,  thoughts and emotions, both as a young person and also an intentional artist. For Cool Kids not only proves to be a masterpiece with its well thought arrangements, soothing melodies and relatable lyrics but also grounds itself in the mind of any listener as a familiar experience worth journeying into. Opening with 'Way Too Many', a song that blends brilliant and thought-out bars with a cocktail of trap and
RnB genres, it's vivid to see the prowess of every contributor as they intelligently blend the power of catchy hooks, smooth contrasts and poetic lyrics, all stemming from the passion in 0racleShaun message, his knowledge of the essence of different genres and the producer's wisdom to merge the best of all these into the Genesis of this EP. 


As it progresses the neat production of the songs on this project and the strategic arrangements employed can also be inferred. 0racleShaun subtly takes us on his personal journey with clear lyrics to repeated ones that seem to build up to a powerful message ranging from themes of love and lifestyle, all of which pays a homage back to the title of the project. OracleShaun embodies For Cool Kids with a strength and passion clearly expressed with his tone leaving a grounded and unforced ambience, and more importantly, with the vocal skills expressed in different songs, he
shows that he's a force beaming with prospects, for moments and memories to come. Anything worth doing at, they say is absolutely worth doing well. For Cool Kids is one that stands as a testament to this saying and what contemporary music, both in Nigeria and around the world expresses. Not
only will it be a memento of hope, friendship and affection in all its realness but also a reminder of how
sometimes magic can be made in the most versatile of ways, a glimpse into the greatness OracleShaun is about to bless us all with. So don't sleep on this EP and enjoy it, baring your all. Trust me, you'll remember this and smile.

Loyz Fluoresces Positive Energy in 'Peace of Mind’

 


Loyz, a Nigerian singer and songwriter who grew up in Port Harcourt city gift-wraps african-inspired melodies in his new single “Peace of Mind”. The exciting sound starts off with his visceral vocals married perfectly with the emotional and catchy beat produced by Dannyblaze. 



“Peace of Mind” embodies a more mellow sound that took a melodic route to beg for positive energy. Loyz’s unmatched songwriting skills, the instrumental’s tempered keys, and supine percussion is behind the peculiarity this song has. 



Heavily influenced by his realities as a young kid who grew up in a not-too-soothing environment, Loyz protests for “Peace of Mind” as he sings ‘It’s not funny oo, E no easy to live and happy o, Only one life wey we get’.
