Ladies and gentlemen, Banky W is throwing another
Lagos party. And this time, it’s for the release of his hugely anticipated
genre-defining, industry-shaking album R&BW.
The singer, songwriter and businessman has spent
the last few years grooming protégées like Wizkid, Skales and Niyola; running
the EME label- currently unarguably Nigeria’s number one music powerhouse.
Now, W is all ready to present his new body of work
to millions of fans around the world. And he’s setting it off with an intimate
concert this Valentine.
EME has announced plans for the R&BW: “The Grand
Love” Concert, saying, in a statement released this morning, that the concert
will hold at The Civic Centre on Ozumba Mbadiwe in Victoria Island,
Lagos on Friday, February 15, 2013.
It’s just about two months after the massive
Baddest Concert, featuring Banky and his label mates. The singer says he’s
ready again, to treat fans to the kind of special performance they won’t get
anywhere else.
And he’s joined by some of R&B's biggest
names, including Wande Coal, Darey, Tiwa Savage, Bez, Blacky and
Faze. Other star performers, according to EME, include Lynxxx, Sound
Sultan, Iyanya, Praiz, Omawumi, Waje, J Martins, May D, Chidinma and
many more to be announced.
EME homeboys Wizkid, Skales, DJ Xclusive, and Shaydee are also on the bill, as well as first lady Niyola with special guests appearance by Don Jazzy and Yvonne Nelson as well as other special surprises.
Banky W took time off finalizing the album, and
rehearsing for the concert, to speak with journalists on Wednesday, saying he
‘can’t wait to present this beautiful album’.
'This is the year of R&BW’, he says, adding
that the Civic Centre concert is ‘one of many events’ that’ll mark the arrival
of the long awaited album.
