IJEOMA STEPS UP: GETS HEADIES NOMINATION, DROPS NEW SINGLE

It may no longer be news that Ijeoma was nominated in the Best Vocal Performance (Female category) for her 2011 debut single “Oloomi” at the most prestigious music award in Nigeria – The Headies but the songstress is still excited and sees it as a major step to her destination.

This week, she’s releasing a new single and video titled “Bami Won ‘Yo Si” meaning “Spice Up Our Love”. The video which was shot by Dudutoonz Studios features Ijeoma’s Project Fame counterpart Praiz as the ‘video boy’.

“Bami Won ‘Yo Si” is a song about LOVE - a subject that the beautiful singer seem to enjoy singing about, considering her other renditions like " Oloomi", “Love In The Air” featuring Vector (November 2011) and “Take My Hand” (February 2012).

The singer will be embarking on a media tour to promote the new song which was co-written by Sound Sultan and produced by Spax. She will also use the opportunity to talk about her recent and first nomination at the Headies. “I must confess that I didn’t see it coming but I am grateful to God, the Headies, the fans and the media for the exposure and support since Project Fame till date”, Ijeoma says.

This release comes with a bonus track titled "Gengen"... it may be the singer’s last single before the release of her debut album but fans are advised to stay tuned.

NEW MUSIC: "DANCE" BY NEW ACT - PELLI

Rising act - Pelli has emerged with fresh materials, abundance of talent, fresh energy, and a serious passion to take over the urban music scene.

Presently poised as the next big thing in music with the release of his latest offering "Dance (Mumu Urself)" already enjoying massive radio airplay in Nigeria, Pelli says he is more than ready to take over the Nigerian music scene with his unique style of music.

Signed to Raindrop music, Pelli’s new single reveals he is a diverse artiste with versatility that is second to none. And his yet untitled debut album will show that he has a lot to offer lovers of good music with songs that reveal the intelligence of a natural songwriter.

It hasn’t always been rosy for Chike Uffundu A.K.A Pelli whose music career saw him go through the phase of miming to his favorite music bands to enrolling for Mr. Heartland pageant: (where he emerged the first runner up). After a few years, the political science graduate of the Imo State University moved to Lagos and actively started recording and writing new songs. He enrolled and won the first edition of 'Do Your Thing': a talent hunt held in Lagos.

In 2011, he signed to Raindrop Music and released his first single “Turn Her on” in April 2012. And now, after months of working hard to find his voice again, the ladies’ man is back in full circulation, getting ready to take over the music scene with his second body of work. “Dance”.

With two singles already rocking radioland, and a video (for Dance) already on the way, Pelli says he’s grabbing 2012 with both arms, putting his best foot forward to make sure he records a spectacular outing this year.

"I’ve practically been living in the studios for months now", says Pelli, who recently signed up with Lagos-based label Raindrop Music. "It’s been a period of mixed blessings; I’m glad I’m getting such amazing support for my career, and I’m humbled by the growth I’ve recorded since the release of Dance”.

"We’re thinking outside the box", he says. "And that will reflect in everything you see Pelli involved in from my style, to the music, the videos and performances".
