The much-awaited album of fuji music star, Adewale Ayuba
is due out for the enjoyment of his teeming fans before the
end of next month.
For some time now, Ayuba has been working on the follow-up
to his current album, “Mellow” at the Eko Reel
Mix Studio in Ikeja, Lagos.
Produced by the versatile and highly-respected music producer
Laolu Akins, the forthcoming work is a dance-hall album that
promises to captivate its audience with the musician’s
rich vocal chord, dictating the pace for the funkified beats.
The new album, which contains remix of “Bubble”,
“Ijo Fuji” and “Turn Me On”, will
come in two folds. One packaged as vintage Ayuba and the other
specially packaged for the hip-hop fans as it features some
wave-making hip-hop artistes.
Ayuba, who has the credit of being the first fuji artiste
to appeal to the elite with the release of his mega-hit, “Bubble”
in 1991, has consequently followed up with several award-winning
albums. His collaboration with German-based artiste, Bantu
entitled “Fuji satisfaction”, won for the duo
two awards including Best Group in West Africa and Best Group
in Africa at the 2005 edition of KORA All Africa Music Awards
in South Africa.
The Best African African Artiste or Group category now attracts
$1million prize tag at this year’s edition of KORA holding
December 6 in Tinapa, Cross River State.
