2014 promises to be an exciting year for the music industry.
It is 2014 already and the Nigerian entertainment industry,
particularly the music sector, is gearing up for a busy year. With some
artistes failing to release their anticipated album in the previous year
-2013, we expect loads of albums in 2014. PREMIUM TIMES takes a look at
singers whose albums will most probably be released this year.
WizKid
Star Boy and EME artiste, Ayo ‘Wizkid’ Balogun, whose second studio
album was postponed thrice in 2013, is expected to release the
anticipated musical work this year. Expected to be loaded with
international and local collaborations, and top notch productions from
top producers, Wizkid’s yet-to-be titled second album might go the way
of the first album; an all hit musical work.
Wande Coal
Remember he trended worldwide on social network, Twitter, when he
released three singles back in 2011. Wande who ended the year 2013 with a
Glo endorsement deal after a split with his former label boss, Don
Jazzy, is expected to release his second long awaited album under his
Black Diamond imprint.
D’Banj
Popular singer, D’banj, who earlier told PREMIUM TIMES that he would
be celebrating his 10th year anniversary of active service with an
album, is not expected to disappoint his fans. After an average outing
with his label compilation album, DKM, we hope his 4th long awaited
album will take him back to the top.
Davido
Davido, who provided us with the controversial dance, Skelewu, in
2013 is expected to ride on the buzz his last two singles gave him and
release his second album. Davido’s second album, which might not be
released until the last quarter of the year, is as anticipated as those
that will be released before his.
Tuface
Regarded as the king of African pop, TuFace Idibia, who was in the
news all through 2013 despite not releasing a single will hopefully give
his fans something to listen to this year having last released his
fourth album in 2011.
M.I
The vice president at Chocolate City released a mix tape, Illegal
Music 2, in 201. His third studio album, which was expected last year,
should be released this year. M.I is also expected to push His imprint,
Luppy Records, further and might release a label compilation album as
well.
Psquare
Twin sensational pop singers, Psquare, who had a busy 2013 as they
toured America, Canada, Africa and engaged their long time partners are
expected to hit their fans with their fifth studio album. With their
impressive 2013 single, personally, the dancing duo should present their
fans with a new album in 2014.
Sean Tizzle
After winning Headies ‘Next Rated’ awards, the Difference
Entertainment artiste who broke into the mainstream music industry in
2013 with his hit single, Sho Le, and subsequent singles Mama e and
Komole, will seek to test his feet more in the music waters with a full
studio album which is expected to be backed with production from
D’tunes.
Praiz
X3M music alternate artiste and MTN ambassador, Praiz, who had a
decent 2013 with his multiple awards winning ‘Rich and Famous’ single is
expected to release his debut album this year if tweets by his label
boss, Steve Babaeko is any to go by.
Phyno
‘No album but am getting millie…’ That’s a line from Phyno’s ‘man of
the year’ song, and 2013 was his year as he rightly said. With chart
topping and award winning singles, Phyno’s debut album remains one of
2014′s most anticipated albums. And before you forget, he narrowly
missed out of Headies ‘Next Rated’ award category.
