After phenomenal success last year, her new album African Girl is tipped for bigger success, with a collection of beautifully crafted lyrics and smooth melodies.Nayo (nigh-awh) is no ordinary girl. Born Temitope Odunayo Abidoye in Lagos, Nigeria, Nayo arose from the tragedy of losing her father through the power of music, faith and hope. Amidst the harsh realities of her troubled nation whilst grooving along to Astrud Gilberto, Sade and the politically charged lyrics of Nigeria’s own Fela Kuti, Nayo looked inward and sought to turn around her tragedy into something positive. With this renewed sense of determination, she relocated to the UK shortly after and has been working on this amazing new album. Remixes of the track African Girl immediately found its way to Number 11 on the UK Club Chart and on to the Ministry of Sound’s “HedKandi Serve Chilled” compilation.
'Desert Storm', the new single, is an ode to the Sahara about the phenomenon of inescapable attraction. Co-written with KK (Dido, Kylie Minogue), the track features strong influences of jazz, trip hop and bossanova.
With so much more to come, Nayo’s smooth vocal style and exciting dance remixes are going to take the UK by storm and her new album Desert Storm and African Girl will melt away your winter blues.
With Nayo already featured in Time Out, Daily Mirror and Blues and Soul. The Scene Magazine will be having an exclusive interview with the songstress very soon. So stay tuned!
