Let’s talk about the Sony; Do you think you signed the deal at the right time?
I won’t say I signed it at the wrong time, I signed it at the right time actually.
So why did it take you 11 months to drop a song?
Adele takes 5 years, there are people who take break for 2 years but here we are used to dropping songs every 3 months, it got to a point I knew I just had to find myself again.
So do you blame yourself or Sony for the 11-month drought?
Don’t forget during this 11-month period, I did feature on over 24 songs. And you it would have been different if I was dropping songs and they don’t pop. At the beginning of this year, my focus was to pop out international collaborations but then things change and regardless I kept on recording and making new sounds.
And as at August they gave me a date and we planned to drop the record with Tinashe but then I was like why don’t you let me do my own African think and drop the Tinashe record afterwards.
Tell us about your new song ‘Gbagbe Oshi’
Gbagbe Osi one of the song that was supposed to be on the album, we recorded it last year.And when they(Sony) heard it they really liked it. I like it too, I love the drive.
After the EP, when is the main album dropping?
I can’t say for now but not this year. It shouldnt be more than 11 songs on the album. They’ll be about 5 major collaborations on it and for now there’s no working title for the album.
