Afro pop star Wande Coal
On the performance being his first major concert since
putting out his second album Wanted, he expressed joy.
He said:
“I feel great. I can’t wait to express to my
fans how much I’ve missed them.
“This is my second album and I’m out here
to perform all my songs from 2006 to 2016
so watch out. It’s gonna be like 42 songs so
it’s gonna be a big show, trust me. I’m
putting everything into it.”
On how he could fit into the current music trends having
taken a break for many years owing to label scuffles and
other things, he said he owes it all to supports from
Maleek Berry given that a whole lot had changed before
he got back in terms of production and music tastes in
Nigeria.
He also talked about switching styles from the ballads
and love songs to more pop and club-ready songs.
The Ashimapeyin singer also stated that he deliberately
‘went off the radar’ prior to when the album was released
because he wanted to focus more on the music.
“I wanted to focus on the music basically,
the music is my own thing.
“So I didn’t want put anything out without
getting everything finalized, that’s why you
didn’t hear anything from Wande. I had to
take time with the production. I like sounds so I was always criticizing myself,” he said.
The former MoHits records star said his choice of Maleek Berry for production was totally as a result of the latter’s
creative magic in songwriting and production. He also
touched on their understanding and chemistry, stating
that they both get to criticize each other a lot which make
things work between them when it comes to creating new materials.
He also expressed plans to cut across Africa with his new album and music style as well as plans to collaborate with erstwhile label boss Dbanj.
Recall that Wande Coal and Dbanj were both signed to MoHits Records before the label heads Don Jazzy and Dbanj split the business owing to irreconcilable differences...
