The "Red Velvet" album listening was an entertaining evening, hosted by IK Osakioduwa and Bovi.
With the release of her highly anticipated second album, ’Red Velvet’, in view, award-winning singer Waje treated a select few to an intimate evening at Civic Center, Lagos on Friday November 30th, 2018.
The Red Velvet album listening was an entertaining evening, hosted by IK Osakioduwa and Bovi. Guests watched Waje’s documentary, and the artiste spoke on how music impacted her life from adolescence to adulthood. After each track on the album was played, there were Q&A sessions where Waje spoke about the inspiration and art behind each one. Some celebrities who came out to support Waje are Shaffy Bello, Banky W, Chigurl, Omawumi, Mai Atafo, Yemi Alade, Ini Dima Okojie, Mimi Onalaja, Chidinma, and Lala Akindoju. After the listening session, there was also an art auction.
As a warm up to the big day, Waje has released the audio and lyric video for one of the tracks on her soon-coming album. ’Oh My’, which was produced by Johnny Drille, is a wistful song that tells the story of a woman who wants more out of a relationship. Although it is quite an emotional song, Waje’s voice and the lyric video, edited by Alvin Ogbonna, give a lighthearted feel to the story.
Red Velvet: The Truth Edition will officially be released on the 7th of December.
