The public will soon welcome the arrival of a new single, “Baby You,” from the stables of Afrosoul singer and multi-instrumentalist, Uchechi Emelonye.
21-year-old Emelonye stated on Thursday that this track will be available for streaming on major music stores from August 15, as a sequence to her previous releases which recorded success.
She said her earlier works – “Little Black Bird,” “Sunrise to Sundown” and “Underwater” – won the BBC Music Introducing ‘ of the Year 2022’ in Lancashire, England.
She noted that the new single record, ‘Baby You’, aligned with her pattern of music, which addresses realistic themes everyone can relate with.
According to her, this is largely influenced by her interest in soul music legends as well as cultural assimilation occasioned by the privilege of being raised in seven countries and across three continents.
Emelonye said she had completed her undergraduate studies in law at the prestigious United Kingdom Russel League Lancaster University.
She noted that this is a positive signal for her music career as she could now concentrate to work on a full album.
Emelonye’s singles have gained enormous airplay across major Nigerian, British and American radio stations.
On the evidence of her numerous interviews on radio and television, her music has captured the imagination of many people.
Her music video for ‘Little Black Bird’ directed by Nigerian Director, Sesan, is still being played on prime music channels and has garnered more than 130,000 streams on YouTube. (NAN)
