We all know and love the power of love songs and you must have heard love songs from Chiké, Timi Dakolo, Simi, Johnny Drille, Tiwa Savage, Davido and other singers. But have you listened to love songs by some Nigerian gospel singers? Yes, they sing about their love for God but fall in love, just like everyone else. And when they do, they express that love in the most beautiful way they know how – through songs!

These gospel singers aren’t afraid to show their romantic sides. They’ve penned beautiful love songs that are perfect for anyone looking for lyrics that capture the joy and wonder of being in love. So whether you’re searching for the ideal song for your wedding playlist, a proposal you’ll never forget, or simply a way to express your feelings to your special someone, these love songs have you covered.

Moses Bliss – “Carry Am Go,” “Love Love,” and “Perfect for Me”

Everyone knew about this talk-of-town wedding. From the proposal to the wedding day, it was one wedding everyone looked forward to and enjoyed. Moses Bliss who is an exceptional singer proposed to his wife, Marie, with a beautiful rendition of the song “For Life.” And it moved Marie to tears. Then he released other love songs in celebration of their union such as “Carry Am Go,” “Love Love,” and “Perfect for Me.”

Anendlessocean – “LMLY”

Anendlessocean recently released the single “LMLY,” which stands for “Let Me Love You.” The song is a heartfelt love that shows his romantic side, portraying him as a Jesus-loving lover boy. This is the first track off his soon-to-be-released album “Hexagon.”

Neon Adejo – “Lade”

Fresh off his recent proposal, Neon Adejo gifted the world with “Lade,” a sweet and intimate love song eponymously named after his fiancee, Lade.

Folabi Nuel – “Bobibi – Forever and a Day”

This entire album is a love letter from Folabi Nuel to his wife, Gboremi. Released in 2023, “Forever and a Day” features a collection of romantic tracks like “911” (a playful song about being completely smitten), “For You” (a heartfelt declaration of love), and the captivating “Monalisa” featuring guest artists like Timi Dakolo, Johnny Drille and Remii.

Victor Thompson – “Fall in Love”

Victor Thompson did not mince words with the 2022 single “Fall In Love.” This sweet and heartfelt message leaves no doubt about his feelings for his wife, Henrietta.

Sinmidele and Remii – “My Baby”

Teaming up for a soulful duet, gospel powerhouse Sinmidele and The Voice alum, Remii, created “My Baby,” a song that beautifully captures the tenderness and joy of being in love.

 

Yadah – “When a Believer Loves”

In 2023, Yadah went all out with a 2-track EP dedicated to her husband, Okafor Chinonso Daniel. “I really wanted to do songs that talked about love through the lens of scripture. Love as patience, love as kindness, love in its purity. I’m glad I did. The EP “When a Believer Loves” has just 2 songs dedicated to @__okaforchinonso,” she wrote in an Instagram post.

Gaise Baba – “Títíláí”

Bringing an Afro-fusion twist to the love song genre, Gaise Baba dropped “Títíláí” song in 2017 in celebration of love. He says:

“Títíláí” is a song about love within the context of marriage, told from a near-playful angle of a good guy reiterating his endless commitment to his bride. The aim is to draw attention through this, to the institution of marriage; glorify, celebrate and promote the biblical concept of love, grace and ‘forever-ness’.

Angeloh – “Love Child”

In 2023, Angeloh released not just an album, but a celebration of love! “Love Child” is a 7-track that talks about love in its truest form – new love, weddings, romantic getaways – and all the sweetness that comes with it. It has a deluxe version featuring collaborations with other gospel greats like Greatman Takit, Gaise Baba, Ko’rale, and soul singer, Waje. Since 2019, Angeloh has been making love songs inspired by the twists and turns of his love life: from being single to finding the one, getting married, and navigating fatherhood as a young man.

Bonus… Sola Allyson – Ife Eji Owuro

We couldn’t resist including a timeless classic! Sola Allyson‘s “Ife Eji Owuro” (meaning “Morning Love”) is a beautiful and enduring love song that continues to resonate with listeners today. The song “Eji Òwúrò” first appeared in 2003 as part of the soundtrack for a Bimbo Oshin movie of the same name. It was later revamped in 2009 with production by Cobhams Asuquo and mixing by Olaitan Dada of Natialo Productions.

For so long – as long as the impact of music has been felt – music has been a source of motivation for listeners. Think about how you feel when you listen to Asake‘s “Sunshine,” which urges you not to lose hope. Through his lyrics, he emphasises the importance of perseverance and hard work, drawing parallels to the success of figures like Dangote. He reminds us that even amidst challenges – if you push and pursue your dreams – there’s light at the end of the tunnel. “Sun gon shine on everything you do,” he says.

If you procrastinate, this song could be the wake-up call you need to take action. It’s the same way you feel when you listen to Asa’sDreamer Girl,” but we’ll save that for later.

For International Women’s Month, we turn to the songs made for women that we are jamming to. What is Women’s Month without music? These are the songs that encourage women to aspire for greatness, songs that are in no way limiting, the ones that don’t slut shame them but tell of their worth as human beings, deserving respect and dignity.

Here are our top five empowering songs for women below:

Woman” by Simi

In “Woman,” Simi takes the bull by the horns to address the institutional barriers placed on women and the unfair stereotypes they face. If the woman is unmarried and doesn’t have children, she is bound to suffer Simi explains.

“I never talk finish,” She just got started. Is there an end to the stigmas women face? Every day the art of submission is hammered into their ears, but no attention is paid to the intimidation they suffer. If she’s confident in herself, that’s not good. If she’s doing well financially, the source of the money is questioned. And as if that’s not enough, women are still being relegated in society.

What more can we say to Simi about this song other than to express our gratitude for her conscious effort to bring light to the concerns and fears faced by women in Nigeria?

Rara” by Waje

This is the song you listen to when you are all glammed up and pumped up. Hair. Done. Nails. Done. Face. On sleek. The outfit? Superb. Attitude? Right on point. This is your time to shine, no one can stop you, not even yourself.

Even in situations like being nervous about that interview, the first date or when you’re feeling down just put the song on, face the mirror and do a little dance. Ensure it’s on speaker for maximum effect and ginger. Nothing can stop your sweet.

Listen to “Rara”

Dreamer Girl” by Asa

It’s not a crime to dream too much. To dream about the future, the many things you could achieve and the many places you can go – as far as your dreams take you. The possibilities are endless. Even when you’re faced with doubts, Asa tells you not to let go of your visions, to dream and hope for your future.

In “Dreamer Girl,” Asa is telling women that their dreams are valid and achievable. Life is full of possibilities. Don’t be afraid to pursue your dreams.

“Baby baby, close your eyes, life’s a dream, maybe someday one day…”

Wonder Woman” by Davido

If Davido’s dedication to his woman is serious, then it’s a reminder that you shouldn’t joke with yourself too. “Wonder Woman” is all about the women who are keeping it real, and Davido is not shy to celebrate them, even if it means emptying his bank account.

The music video has a diverse cast of emerging female leaders excelling in their respective fields, navigating a male-dominated world with grace. Watch the video below and get your dose of inspiration.

Loaded” by Tiwa Savage and Asake

When Tiwa Savage’s sex tape was leaked, it was no surprise that she faced a lot of backlash from society. Names were hurled at her and one would think it’s taboo for a woman to have sex. Rather than focusing on the criminal act of leaking a private video, she became the target of criticism, highlighting the societal taboo surrounding female sexuality.

In a society that’s always so quick to shame women at the slightest, quick to ruin their reputations and offer no grace to them, Tiwa proved that a leaked sex tape is not enough to bring her down. She rose above all the noise and in “Loaded” featuring Asake, she asserted her identity as a music star.

What’s the lesson? Don’t allow society to dictate your worth or response to adversity.

The saying goes, “Give a woman a house, and she’ll give you a home… she multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.” Similarly, give a woman an artist, and watch the artist become a superstar, topping charts and making waves in the music industry.

The music industry in Nigeria has experienced significant growth in recent years, with projected revenues reaching US$4.40 million in 2022 and expected to grow to US$8.03 million by 2027, representing an annual growth rate (CAGR 2022-2027) of 12.43%. While it is common knowledge that Nigerian artists generate considerable economic revenue, what you may not know is the role played by women behind the scenes.

These women are instrumental in building and managing the artists’ careers, shaping their trajectories, and ensuring their continued success on the charts. Beyond their immediate impact, these women are also shaping the future of the music industry and contributing significantly to the nation’s economy.

In the spirit of International Women’s Month, with the theme “Accelerate Progress”, we bring you five women who are solidly standing beside your fave music stars – not only behind, them. In a male-dominated industry, we spotlight these women and celebrate their successes.

Janet Nwose – Asa

Asa and Janet Nwose have been inseparable since meeting in 2004. They not only do business and travel together, they also sing together. Do you know that apart from Janet being Asa’s manager, she is also her backup singer? Now you know that. Interestingly, it was Janet who introduced Asa to Cobhams Asuquo, who became the producer of her first studio album “Asa” (Asha).

Their partnership and friendship has endured since Asa’s emergence onto the music scene in the early 2000s.

Mariam AbassJoeboy

Mariam stepped into the role of Joeboy’s manager in 2020 when she returned to Nigeria from the UK after working as a pipeline engineer. “I’m Mariam Aduke Abass and I’m Joeboy’s manager. What people might not know about me is that I’m a civil engineer,” says Mariam.

From 2017 to 2018 she worked as Mr Eazi’s stylist, leaving her mark on international magazines and music videos. Her work can be seen in projects like Anne Marie, Major Lazer featuring Mr Eazi in “Let Me Live” and Davido featuring Popcaan in “Risky” where she styled Davido himself.

Beyond her roles in the music industry, Mariam wears many hats including owning a marketing agency called Mal Agency and running a sustainable luxury fashion pre-loved brand named Luxe Reloaded.

Hi BellaStylistas! BNStyle Plus Sound is back! This is a mini-series our team developed during #BNSWomensMonth22 to celebrate how our faves use their style to elevate their brand and inspire us with their fabulous looks. We will be highlighting their fashion highlights each week this month. For this year’s edition, we will spotlight 4 amazing female artists with incredible styles.

Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, professionally known as Ayra Starr, is a Grammy-nominated Nigerian singer-songwriter who was discovered by Don Jazzy when she posted an original song on her Instagram Page in 2019. Fondly called “The Celestial Being”, she swiftly rose to prominence following the release of her EP with the hit track Away.

In 2023, she received a Grammy nomination in the “Best African Music Performance” category for the 66th Grammy Awards, but it’s not only her musical prowess that makes her magnetic, Ayra Starr is known for her impeccable fashion sense which is a vibrant mix of sultry inspirations and the early 2000s trends. Proudly Gen-Z, she isn’t scared to rock her chic minis, sleeveless, and crops, brilliantly styling them to suit each occasion she graces.

Nigerian singer, songwriter and producer, Innocent Ujah Idibia, aka, “2Baba,” has officially ended his 20-year partnership with Now Muzik management company, owned by Efe Omorogbe. The disengagement is mutual and is effective immediately.

In an Instagram announcement marking the end of their partnership, Efe Omorogbe, the co-founder and CEO of Now Muzik, said, “I am grateful to 2Baba for the trust, and for the friendship. I am proud of the brands we built together, the music we made; the fans we entertained. 2Baba is one of the greatest Nigerian musicians of all time and it really is an honour to have had the opportunity to walk side by side with him, watching and helping him make magic over the past two decades. My team and I look forward to now supporting from the sidelines, and continuing to advocate for any and everything 2Baba.”

2Baba acknowledging the role of Now Muzik in his successful career, said “I know it’s a cliche but every good thing must come to an end. I owe a lot of my career success to Efe and his team at Now Muzik. Everything I’ve been able to achieve is as a result of the support of so many people and organisations working with me to bring my talent and vision to life. Now Muzik is one of such companies and I couldn’t be more grateful to them.”

After departing from The Plantashun Boiz, 2Baba joined Now Muzik in 2004 and will now be managed by his label, Hypertek Digital.

Every year, Billboard hosts its Women In Music awards ceremony to recognise extraordinary women in the music industry who have made significant contributions to the business and who, through their hard work and continued success, inspire generations of women to take on increasing responsibilities within the field.

The event celebrates women from different music professions in various categories:  Woman Of The Decade Award, Rising Star Award, Triple Threat Award, Rulebreaker Award, Trailblazer Award, Group of the Year, Chart-Topper Award, Icon Award, Impact Award, Legend Award, Breakthrough Artist, Hitmaker Award, Innovator Award, Powerhouse Award Game Changer Award Visionary Award Global Force Award Executives Of The Year Award, Women of the Year in Music, Producer Of The Year, and the biggest accolade; Woman Of The Year Award.

Nigerian singer and songwriter, Tems, is Billboard’s Women In Music 2024 Breakthrough Artist honoree, and ahead of the award event tomorrow, she sits with Billboard in an interview and discusses her breakthrough into music, collaborations with top artists, her childhood, and more. She also confirms her debut album will be released this year. “It is 1,000% coming out this year.”

Read the excerpts below:

On transitioning to making music full-time

“It wasn’t an overnight thing. I was selling myself short by not pursuing my passion and worrying about what people think.”

On her type of music

“Is it possible to make this type of music even though I’m Nigerian? Is there a limit to what I can make? I wanted to find out.”

On her self-assuredness 
“Growing up, everybody just called me Temi. Nobody really called me by my full name. It wasn’t something that was on my mind. It’s only now, as an adult, that I started realising that it meant ‘The crown is mine.’ I think that’s really powerful. It feels manifested, based on how my life has gone.”

On how much she impacts others

“I’m not sure if I would ever really be aware of whatever impact my story has, but it feels inspiring to know that I’ve inspired others because I’m inspired by other people as well. It just encourages me to keep going.”
