Soul Singer, Nikki Laoye has just released a new worship single, “In Your Name”, a soulful song of thanksgiving and in celebration of the never failing power of the name of Jesus.

Produced by Nikki Laoye and her guitarist, Nelson Jason, The song celebrates ONE year of Victory for Nikki Laoye’s family as she had earlier shared the testimony of how God saved the lives of her brother’s wife and their new baby when doctors called for an emergency operation in her 8th month (February 17th, 2017).

In her words, Nikki shares more about the song and its inspiration:

It’s JESUS season – “IN YOUR NAME” – It’s been 1 year of Victory in the name of Jesus.

A Song that celebrates the Only One who turned our Mourning into Dancing at the hospital on that critical evening 17th of February 2017 when he brought my sister in law and baby niece out alive from that emergency operation in the theatre.

The Only Name I could call.. That answered speedily as I stood praying and waging war before that theatre door that day

… In the very same hospital where my Dad was pronounced dead 6 years earlier.

…Yes, In the very same hospital where we once wailed, We now Rejoiced.

A song God placed on my heart as I slept and I woke up singing it out loud… This happened just few days after I shared the testimony at my home church, House On The Rock and my Pastor, Pastor Paul Adefarasin looked at me and said, “Nikki, A song is coming out of this testimony”.

A Song that was Recorded in March 2017 as a testimony of the wonder working power of JESUS and now I release it to the world

…To Heal, To Deliver, To break the chains of the enemy cos Demons have no choice but to tremble at the mention of that Great Name

Only ONE Name can do this…

He did it for me and my family

And He will do IT for you.

Yes J E S U S!!

There’s Power… IN YOUR NAME

Accoustic version of songs never been played this way!…

“Skales unleashes ‘Senrere’ his first single of the year featuring D’Banj. This comes after the successful release of the Never Say Never Guy album in 2017 which had hit songs like ‘Booty Language’, ‘Temper’, ‘Gbefun One Time’, and ‘Agolo’.

Produced by Chopstix, ‘Senrere’ is an up-tempo song, dominated by piano synth sounds and traditional acoustics. As the song begins, D’Banj deploys his famous line, “If you’re still sitting down, you’re on a long thing”; a fitting way to start the song as Skales goes on to mix his vocal style with D’banj’s energetic delivery in order to get fans dancing.

Skales speaking on the release of ‘Senrere’ via his Instagram page, ”Big thank you to everyone who has supported me thus far….New journey, New Year.” And on his collaboration with D’banj, “He is a true definition of longevity. I remember listening to his songs and watching his videos and shows….now we work together and he is still stronger than ever. It is an honour”.

The two artistes recently embarked on a trip to Kaduna, Skales’ home town; where D’banj got to meet Skales’ mother. For Skales, ‘Senrere’ comes from a happy place, where he hopes to send his fans to as they listen and anticipate the release of his new album in April”

Should I still be asking who has listened to Davido’s latest hit song? I don’t want to ask that question but we can never tell because not everyone comes online at the same time. So guys, have you listened to Flora my Flawa?

This song is supposed to be talking about time, distance and love but the only thing that depicted this in the whole song is the line where ‘forever’ is mentioned repeatedly.

In this post, I’ll be giving us three things that didn’t sit well with me listening and watching the video of Flora my Flawa.

1. Costume:

If you want to tell a story, tell it well. From the looks of this video, the costume feels mixed up but if it wasn’t, then I don’t know what else to call it other than it not being right (I might use worse descriptions, but I’m leaving that spot for you guys should there be a need to). Isn’t it funny how Davido in thirty years didn’t change, whereas the woman waiting for him back at home has transformed into someone else? Don’t even call the pot belly, that doesn’t count right now.

When Davido was young, he was wearing an appropriate outfit that depicted no trace of the classical past look, same with his band who were dressed like they’re going for a Yoruba naming ceremony. Fast forward to 30 years later and they are dressed like they’re from the past… What kind of Hero Nakamura something is this? The present is used for past and past is used for the present? So really, the times were not properly accounted for. A man in 2018 wearing an afro he was supposed to rock in the 70s and 80s? Not working.

2. Unnecessary characters:

This is more or less sounding like the same issue with the costume. Not only was the time not accounted for, the times they presented were not properly executed. If Davido did not change facially, why was there a need to change Flora facially? If the changes made on her were similar to her, better. But the change was so unnecessary because the old version woman they used is night compared to the day that young Flora is. The difference is too much. How did the dark-skinned young Flora become the light-skinned old Flora? How did the light-skinned friends at their young age become dark-skinned at their old age? That doesn’t make any sense. What happened Clarence? We are not understanding. Another question to ask is “Was the pot belly necessary?” because Davido and his team were not acting like they had pot bellies, rather it was so obvious they had pieces of clothing inside of them hence a big thumbs down to the makeup as they should’ve done better and at least make the pot belly book a bit real… too amateur in my opinion.

3. Too much Repetition:

With a total time of 5:04, I don’t know why 2:46 is what contains Davido’s song which is full of “If nothing last forever o, me and you go nothing forever o, baby baby Omalicha…” That was just too much of a repetition and truth is, the vibe of this song is similar to FIA and Ada. It is like part 3 of a project by DMW’s in-house producer, Fresh… Or maybe it’s his signature sound that is making all songs sound the same.

With the whole video set, which seems to be one of Davido’s best sets I’ve seen, I was expecting a rich storytelling of who Flora is, what she means to him and how he will always come back to her no matter how far his job takes him. Not hearing him say “Me and you go be nothing forever” in a song he titles “Flora my Flawa”. How is that even right?

Aside all these stated, I love the picture quality, the massive use of Ankara fabric and the comedy infused to make up for anything that is lacking… and yes, if this was comedy, I wouldn’t have stated any flaw, but I’m sure it was not intended to be a comic work, hence my observations.

So guys, let me hear your analysis of this song and the video and also if there is anything you love about it or something that also didn’t sit well with you.
