One of Nigeria’s most talented singers and winner of the West African Idols, Timi Dakolo has announced the release of his second single ‘Wish Me Well’, for his forthcoming album, ‘Love and Consequences’. Timi said he got inspiration from the song from bad days when he had no money in Port Harcourt. He said, “I have had it bad from days with no money to pay my school fees, having to survive by selling pure water, pushing wheelbarrows for money. It has been tough. I remember when Idols came calling; I knew this was my opportunity to make it. I picked my bags and moved to see what would happen. I was scared, but if I didn’t, I wonder where I would be.”
The song which was produced by award winning producer, Cobhams Asuquo has a melodious beat of several instruments and strong vocal delivery, as is the norm with Timi.
The Niger Delta artiste said the song has a more western feel, as against the high life tune of ‘iyawo mi’. Timi said: “When the desire to be great takes sleep away from your eyes and fear from your mind, you might not know how you will make it or get there. You pick up your bags and move with just your dreams, fears and worry, for the desire to achieve is greater than the fear of the unknown. All loved ones can do is wish you well”. (radar.ng)
