iNaija... Lami - Yago + Ori Mi Wu
"Female soul singer Lami has released two brand new singles from her forthcoming 2011 album titled Human. She does this right on the heels of wrapping up her debut album - Intuition with the private live concert - Lami Unplugged. The first of the singles, Yago is an up-tempo, feel-gooder produced by DJ Klem. The second single, Ori Mi Wu, makes for easy listening and has that relaxed feel to love songs that Lami is popular for. The track features Chocolate City's Ice Prince and was co-produced by Lami and Abuja-based producer Gru." - Press Release
Nigerian Soul/R&B singer Lami Phillips greets us with two brand new singles off of her forthcoming sophomore album titled 'Human'. First with the DJ Klem-produced 'Yago' and also with the Ice Prince-featured 'Ori Mi Wu'. Listen below to both records and let me know what you think in the C section!
"Ori Mi Wu":
"Yago":
For a big fan of her debut album 'Intuition', I've just never been a fan of Lami's more up-tempo records so no surprise in me not liking 'Yago' but 'Ori Mi Wu' is my jam! This is Lami in her element - lovely vocal rendition & sublime/witty song writing + she gets the chance to showcase her voice to the people who question her vocal dexterity (listen to her at the 2:10 minute mark if you don't think she's got the vocals and tell me she didn't hit those notes outta the park!).
