She may not make the list of top Nigerian songstresses at the moment, but voice powerhouse, Omawunmi has relaunched her career. The music sensation is back with a new song titled, Play na Play, in which she features legendary singer, Angelique Kidjo of Benin Republic.
In a recent interview, she describes her experience working with this music legend as refreshing and memorable.
“She is so good at what she does. Mama Angelique, that is what I call her. She doesn’t have any airs. She is playful, fun and very hygienic. She sings effortlessly. When she was recording, I was just in awe. I was just saying: ‘I want to be slim like this’, I want to be energetic when I am her age,” she said.
Narrating how difficult it was to reach out to her, Omawunmi said, “It was difficult to get her, but it wasn’t difficult the moment I reached her. With the help of my manager, he got in touch with her through someone else that also doubles as a booking agent for me. It was like a dream come true for me. When I was shooting with Angelique, at some point, I started crying. I couldn’t believe it! It was like a real honour for me,” she reveals.
