Timi Dakolo reminds us of what good music should sound like with this beautiful classic in the making – ‘Wish Me Well‘, produced by non other than Cobhams Asuquo – the classic man and production genius.
“Nigeria’s king of soul; Timi Dakolo has announced the release of his second single ‘Wish Me Well’ off his forthcoming album; Love and Consequences.
Timi Dakolo draws inspiration for this single from his days as a young boy in Port Harcourt just before West African Idols, going through the harsh events of life. “I have had it bad, from days with no money to pay my school fees, having to survive by selling pure water, pushing wheelbarrows for money, it has been tough. I remember when Idols came calling, I knew this was my opportunity to make it, I picked my bags and moved to see what would happen. I was scared, but if I didn’t, I wonder where I would be.”
The song which has a melodious play of several instruments and strong vocal delivery was a result of another collaboration with iconic Cobhams Asuquo. Moving from the highlife tune of Iyawo Mi, this single ‘Wish Me Well’ has a more western feel.
