Encomium
One of the nation’s favourite radio stations, the Lagos based Beat FM 99.9 introduced the year, 2017 with a hot fresh song. The song which hit listeners with pumping rhythm and many colours of harmony is “Happy Music”, the first single released in many years by the music maestro and celebrated former president of PMAN, Tony Okoroji. Anyone who has listened to “Happy Music” will easily conclude that the maestro still has the magic in abundance.
As “Happy Music” was pumping on Beat FM, on New Year’s day, it was oozing out of speakers from diverse radio stations across the nation in what is clearly a well-coordinated release by TOPS, the record label owned by Okoroji himself who has promised thatwith an abundance of talents, TOPSwill be a significant player in entertainment production, distribution, publishing and events organization across the Nigerian nation in 2017 and beyond.
In what may be described as a “shock and awe” operation, the video of “Happy Music” shot at Philip Trimnell’s enchanting Chakaville Beach Resort near Eleko in the outskirts of Lagos, is already in circulation. The hot “Happy Music” video with some vivacious dancers is set to hit TV screens all over Nigeria before the end of the first week of 2017.
While all hands at TOPS are on deck coordinating the muscular roll out of Okoroji’s “Happy Music”, every system is being readied for an explosive introduction to the world of the Nigerian music industry’s recent most talked about songstress, KASI, the June 12 Girl, who will on Saturday January 14 simultaneously drop two big singles.
KASI, the red-hot power bike riding damsel who made a cameo appearance on the “Happy Music” song and video, will explode on the scene with “LOVINJAITIS” her thumping dance song guaranteed to get everyone gyrating on the dance floor for months. KASI will also simultaneously release “IFUNANYA” a truly romantic love song which will show the wide range of the talent of this young lady who is sure to be one of Nigeria’s most wanted performers in the years to come.
Speaking about KASI, Chief Tony Okoroji, who is also Chairman of COSON, Africa’s fastest growing copyright collective management organization for music, said “I am 100% confident that KASI will rock the world and TOPS is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the June 12 girl, the first lady of TOPS, gets a roll out like no other.”
