The ever developing Nigeria music factory which has gained its
relevance in the World entertainment scene is one that must be given
full regard. It is a factory that has bred, breeding and will breed more
stars and talents. As the moment, the weight of the factory cannot be
overlooked nor over emphasized as it has proven itself worthy. Although
the scene gets larger and rowdy by the day, a couple vocalists stand out
of the lot.
Here is a brief of my Top 10 vocalist not arranged in any sequential order and with regard to my views and opinions.
WANDE COAL: The original black diamond ever since
inception with the defunct Mo hits has been on that a lot of peeps
always look forward to hear from. His first and only album was and is
still an entire hit. From the bumper to bumper days to the days when we
go low on private trips, Wande Coal is yet to disappoint. He has
remained the true definition of a vocalist. His voice stings and
communicates. He modulates at will with his very powerful voice. His
high and low pitch voices are sonorous and he makes adequate use of this
advantage. What an incredible singer WC has proven himself to be.
CAPITAL F.E.M.I: This young man is indeed crowned
king of RnB. He knows his onions and they know him so well too. Capital
FEMI is a man who captivates with his voice. The sting in his voice hits
the brains. His sonorous voice is so strong. With an entire album of
good music with impeccable vocals, he has won the hearts of many. Even
on dance hall and hip hop beats, he still delivers with his stand out
voice. He seems to have too much good voice for one human being.
TIMI DAKOLO: Show or tell me whatever it is R Kelly
or Luther Vandross do with their voice that Timi has probably not
already done. The way he modulates is top notch and world class. One of
the most harmonious singers in the world. Timi although not getting
deserved credit for his craft is one who cannot be over looked. Timi
Dakolo is vast and dynamic in his vocal usage. He is so deep.
HARRISONG: Not only is he a singer, he is also a
good song writer having written several hits for many artistes. A
beautiful singer he is. He has also got a very sonorous voice too. High
pitch or low pitch, Harrisong delivers. He has that voice that attacks
the beats well. So incredible and captivating that you might just have
to put most of his songs on repeat. He is a seasoned vocalist worthy of
note.
ORITSHE FEMI: Dare to argue with me on this one, go
listen to both of Oritshe’s albums. He is pure talent. The way he calls
his name at the introduction of every song is sensual and highly
spiritual. He is one of the very few artistes with a natural falsetto.
Another strong attacking voice we have in oritshe. He will probably
deliver well on any genre of music. He is indeed dope.
2 FACE IDIBIA: Left to me, I wouldn’t have 2baba on
this list as he is in a class of his own. He is the unarguable king of
African music. Little is to be said about this man that we don’t already
know. From the days of Plantashun boiz to the rave of African queen and
thereafter, this man is seasoned. He is one man whom his music will
live after. He has carved a niche for himself hereby creating the 2Face
genre of music. He is in a class of himself alone. Almost all African
acts look up to him. He is one voice in a million that hits you like
raindrops. What more can I say. 2face is 2face.
BANKY W: Here comes another king of RnB. He has
proven himself capable. Very harmonious and dynamic. Even when he raps,
his voice stands out. He is a young man who has earned his respect. His
voice is full of life. His high pitch will set you on high. Mr W struck
us with the Rihanna cover of Umbrella and has ever since been doing his
thing without any disappointments with regards to music.
TIWA SAVAGE: this diva came into the Nigeria music
scene with the hit single Kele Kele love which many frowned at and
wondered where she came from. Only a couple regarded her vocals on that
song. Tiwa struck me from the first day as a very powerful singer and
even till date she is yet to disappoint. Her voice penetrates and
shatters. Tiwa is a lioness in the jungle, when she roars, it becomes a
graveyard. Her voice is deep, it commands every beat and they just obey.
Just like the way she has finally become, her voice is so beautiful.
OREZI: This young man in my opinion deserves more
for this craft. He is another incredible singer and vocalist. Fine boy
Orezi who released I no fit lie and High BP at inception has got great
voice. Although having derailed from his RnB genre of music, Orezi still
gets it right with his vocals. He remains dynamic. He can almost sound
like every artiste. In my just opinion, this young man deserves more
credit for his music.
FAZE: Orji Faze THE LION. He is the big masquerade
that ends the show. Faze can be regarded as the best vocalist in
Nigeria. Another singer without comparison. I wouldn’t want to say much
about him, check out his albums from the days of Faze alone to Refazed,
then hit me up. When it comes to music cum vocals, Faze is King of other
kings.
