GIST: Top Three Nigerian Artistes Who Are Vocal Powerhouses
Vocal rendition for most artiste in this part of the world is not of
great importance as they feel, once the music is “Pangolo’ in nature,
they can easily sell.
However, only a few artiste have been able to
realize just how important the voice is to land a great record.
We will be profiling three Nigerian artistes who have been able in
all their might and brilliance discovered just how powerful the voice is
and have taken time out of their ever beautifier and beautiful
schedules(I want to believe) to study, train and gain that vocal prowess
over 70 percent of other artistes in the Nigerian music industry.
These artistes are a powerhouse of talent and might,being able to
without much strain reach the peak of any vocal pitch and still maintain
a smooth and melodious tune.
- Omawumi: Come on now guys, am sure this name was expected. Omawumi, is known for her strong ability to attain the highest of vocal pitches even on songs she decides on ditching her chesty voice. Without an issue or much work, Omawumi in virtually all her songs, delivers impeccable vocal renditions. Listen to ‘Play by Play‘ featuring the amiable Angelique Kogjo and ‘Megbele’, Omawonder, once again proved to all her fans and critics that she can with her voice attain the lowest and highest range with little or no strain to her voice. Her voice is rich in tone and has a remarkable weight to it.
2. Waje: Again, am certain her name was expected. Waje! Waje!! Waje!!!,
I listen to her songs, and am immediately made to remember Jennifer
Hudson and even Fantasia. Mama’s voice is
gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood. Waje,
due to her years of singing has shown beyond doubt that she has great
control of her voice which enables her sing beautifully in all
extremities. Listen to ‘Omini Knowest, Oko mi, Left for good and No be
you’ mama brought it!
3. Immaculate:
Finally one name many of you were not expecting. I first got hooked opn
her voice when she appeared on music reality TV show, ‘Project Fame’ and
watched her ‘Murder’ most of her performances. Now this is another
artiste, who has huge control of her voice and has both timbre and tone
in her voice. Immaculate, who can effortlessly deliver a song with a
chesty or throat vocal range, is one artiste that after so many hours,
days, weeks and months of listening and watching her performances, there
is absolutely no doubt that she brings it anytime she lets the vocal
chords loose. Listen and watch ‘Vulindela and Stay with me’ featuring
Oyinkanade.
These ladies know and understand their voices, reasons for their
stress free slaying renditions of whatever song they decide on singing
to entertain fans.
Let us know other artistes you feel know their thang!
