Two Nigerian acts, Niniola and Harrysong, are set to release albums before the year ends.
Harrysong’s Kingmaker, his second album after 2012's Testify, will be available for purchase before the end of October. A recently released tracklist from the artist shows a number of guest appearances by Seyi Shay, Patoranking, Vector and MI Abaga. The previously released ‘Samankwe’ with Timaya is included as a bonus track.
This year has been turbulent for Harrysong, as he was involved in media and legal wrangling with his former label 5 Star Music led by his former friend KCee. 'Arabanko', a song released shortly after his departure from 5 Star Music, was interpreted by some as targeting his former label. Kingmaker will be released on his own Alterplate record label.
Niniola, who recently released the single 'Sicker', has announced 3 November as release date for her debut album. Titled This is Me, the album comes after a series of well-received songs including ‘Ibadi’, ‘Soke’ and ‘Maradona’.
“As promised guys its finally here,” she wrote on Instagram. “I am excited about this project. Three years ago it was ‘Ibadi’. A lot of us have been waiting for this and it’s here now… NINIOLA “THIS IS ME” The Album drops on the 3rd of November 2017. And you can pre-order from the 20 October. Don’t dull Guys.”
Niniola will be performing at the ongoing Felabration taking place in Lagos, Nigeria. Watch the video for 'Sicker' below:
