iNaija... DIPO - YOUR MAN


"In 2007, Dipo was one of the 12 final contestants in the music reality t.v show called "Nokia First Chance" and went on to perform at the Nigerian Music Awards dinner. He joined Access Bank in 2008 but still continued with his music. Being a 'Banker by Day,Singer by Night', he released his first single “summertime” in Dec 2009 and the song was on Inspiration FM top ten for about 8 weeks. He opened up for Asa at the “ASA on the green”Concert in january 2010 performing alongside Bez and Ibiyemi. His musical influences include Marvin Gaye, Seal, John Legend, R.Kelly, Dwele, Anthony Hamilton, Fela, Asa, 2face, Maxwell, D’Angelo." - Management

This took a few listens for me to remotely see any potential but maybe I was just in an anal mood. I think it works for the audiences it targets so it wins in that aspect. Very Jazz-infused (slash) Afro-centric number and there's something catchy about those lyrics right?
