RETTA
So my brother was playing a song and it was my idea of good music. My mind was already far gone.....was thinking it was an American soul singer... Then I heard Shey Bi You Talk Se......So I asked please who am I listening to?!....Then he says its Retta.... Thinking i had never heard her he plays me her first single "Kolo for You" and then I remember it and I'm hooked. Her voice is not great or strong or anything like that.....its just a subtle sweetness and calmness of it....no matter who you are you're definitely gonna get hooked. And she sounds effortless....like shes playing with the song. She has had three singles the first being Kolo For You, the second being Would You Be Mine, and the latest one is Tomorrow... get them all....good Nigerian Music.... Big ups to the producer and writer Oscar Heman-Ackah.....good work on all the tracks.
Christina Perri.........Love Strong

So, Christina Perri......you know when you get lucky!....She is a perfect example. Her first single, "jar of hearts" was featured on So You Think Can Dance and the next thing.....people started buying her song. And already she is here this year with her album. The second single from the album is "arms"...... you may think her writing is sad...but she is is great with her metaphors. And of course she is branded as "pop" but with her lyrics you are getting a whole lot of depth. She not screaming at the top of her voice.......she may not be a great singer but she has got a unique voice. You listen to her lyrics and it gets into your heart and even if you haven't been in the situation she is in the song......you feel like you can feel what she is talking about..I think her writing is that amazing... So if you haven't heard her..... listen to "jar of hearts"....listen properly if you love it......then don't wait time thinking just get her album.....favourite tracks....Miles, Bang Bang Bang, Bluebird, Mine,Distance........#okbye
