Soul Muzik has announced the signing of singer-
songwriter Zaina to the label. Co-founder Darey Art
Alade who made this known in Lagos, today, says
Zaina, who recently moved back home from
Atlanta, ‘is a supremely talented singer, writer and
performer who has worked with some of the best
brains here and abroad; a fierce entertainer who
wants to make music fans happy’
Soul Muzik, also home to Darey and Mo Eazy, joins
other labels like Chocolate City, Mavin Records and
EME who have signed female artistes in recent
times. There had been a huge drop in the number of
active female singers in the country; all that is
changing now, and Zaina says she’s ‘here to stay,
to play my part and add my voice to what’s going on
in my great country’.
Not entirely a newcomer, Zaina has in the past
worked with ELDee, STYL Plus, Sasha, Lynxxx and
received nods from the popular Nigerian
Entertainment Awards.
And to kick off Zaina’s stay at the label, her debut
singles “Lolola” and “Totally Yours” (featuring multi-
award-winning Jamaican dancehall star Wanye
Wonder) have been released.
LOLOLA, Zaina’s official debut Soul Muzik single, is
a party anthem for every lady who’s ready for that
good love. The message is simple: “now is the time
for love, no games, no preamble, no second
thoughts, no pretence, let’s get straight to the
point, I’m ready for the next level so make your
move!”
On TOTALLY YOURS, Zaina features Jamaican
reggae sensation Wayne Wonder, for a soulful
exploration of timeless love, submission and
devotion. It’s a sensual love song about friendship
that has evolved beyond the platonic. It’s about a
commitment that has overcome the battles of
loyalty and doubt. Zaina and Wayne collaborate
‘wonderfully’ to express the thoughts of a couple in
love who have come to that special place in their
relationship where they are certain beyond any
doubt that they are ready to give themselves totally
and completely to each other – body and soul. This
is Zaina’s 2nd official Soul Muzik single.
Both cuts are available on radio stations across
Nigeria from today Wednesday September 12, as
well as online, and on other platforms.
Her debut album is due next year
