Amy winehouse's album becomes 21st century's best seller

Posted: 24 Aug 2011 02:39 PM PDT


      Britain's Official Charts Company has disclosed that  Winehouse's Grammy-award winning "Back to Black" has become the best-selling album in the U.K. in the 21st century.
      The company, which tracks music sales in the U.K., said Wednesday that "Back to Black" overtook James Blunt's 2005 debut album to claim the title this week.
    Winehouse's second album had jumped to the No. 1 spot on the charts shortly after the soul singer was found dead in her London town house on July 23. An initial post-mortem failed to determine cause of death, and Winehouse's family said Tuesday that toxicology tests showed she had no illegal drugs in her system when she died.
   An inquest into Winehouse's death begins in October.

Posted: 24 Aug 2011 09:39 AM PDT


      West African idol, Jerrilyn Mulbah as previously reported by several Nigerian media outlets is working on a ground breaking video for her singles.    
     We gather that the Liberian-born singer who now lives in Nigeria with her daughter would be working with Fliptyce, who produced the favourite 'Chop  my money' track on P Square's The Invasion...

She was part of the top five finalist in the edition that saw Timi Dakolo emerge as winner and Omawumi as runners up. Fours years after the West African Idols, she released two singles titled 'Molejo' and 'Mr DJ' which were produced by Kiss Music Studios producer, Meka E and written by Jerrilyn and Dipo Abdul for Miss Dynamite Entertainment.

It is gathered that a new song has been recorded with Fliptyce and following from Flip's growing list of hit records from Faze's I'm in the mood to Danny Young's Oju ti tiwon, a record that's bound to grow on listeners is what it has been described by a witness at the recording session. SHe would also be working with Samklef and Jay Sleek in weeks before the video shoot planned for later in the year. Video would be directed by Taiwo Badex who just arrived from France where we are informed he went to take professional courses, He was also a former editor with the TV channel, Soundcity. He would be directing the video for Mr DJ, which promises to be a true dance video as choreography for the video has been ongoing for weeks now.

After Mr. DJ, another two videos would be shot.

Praiz set to release new singles

Posted: 23 Aug 2011 10:56 PM PDT


    With a growing legion of fans and soaring mass appeal, suave looking singer Praiz has been busy in recent times spending time in the studio and putting finishing touches to his debut album for X3M music.

      His style, which is a blend of soul and R&B and his ability to hit high notes as he teases with his high pitched voice, catches one's attention easily.

    The fast rising RnB singer/vocalist who recently stunned guests at the MBGN 2011 grand finale in Lagos when he delivered a performance hailed as 'unforgettable' by critics is set to release two new singles titled 'I love you' and 'Jekalo'.

     According to the uber talented act; 'I love you' featured production efforts by Wole Oni while TY mix produced 'Jekalo'.
The two new singles are expected to come out as first official efforts by Praiz in 2011. He was earlier reported to be working with top producers in the music industry and was even the star of the evening at the recent champagne conversation held at Eko hotels in Lagos.
Speaking on the inspiration behind his latest offering, the eclectic singer said "I'm offering these two songs to anyone who has ever felt the sweetness of love. Working on 'I love you' and 'Jekalo' was a positive experience for me and I'm talking to love birds on these cuts. It's from Praiz with love and I'm sure everyone will fall in love with these songs''.

      Praiz first came to national limelight when his unique singing style caught the eyes of many at Project Fame TV reality show where he thrilled viewers across Africa and beyond. He was adjudged second runner up as he showed great signs of promise and has been tagged 'the golden voice' as a result of his vocal dexterity.

     Since then he has gone on to wow music critics and fans with cameo appearances and collaborative efforts with top artistes in Nigeria; most notably his stellar performance on M.I's 'Epic' and a guest appearance on alternative singer Bez's 'Super Sun' album.
Praiz is signed to X3M music, a Lagos-based label founded by Steve Babaeko.
