Nigerian songstress Seyi Shay is in Kenya to promote her latest collabo with Tanzanian star Konde Boy, Harmonize titled ‘Koma roll’.
Very few Nigerian stars have done successful East African collaborations. You can count Seyi Shay in the lot. It all started in 2017 when Seyi had a successful East African media tour that saw her headline at Blankets & Wine Uganda. Her 2018 collaboration with Tanzanian artist Ommy Dimpoz in ‘Yanje’ was massive and the video surpassed 1 million views on YouTube.
‘Koma Roll’, which is currently receiving heavy airplay across the region is set to officially launch the song at B Club on Friday the 22nd March 2019. An ecstatic Seyi talks about her second coming to East Africa and the launch of the song, “It’s so amazing for me to be back in Nairobi for a second time. I am always in disbelief at how many fans I have here and who love my music. I’ve been in talks with Harmonize who has already invited me to Tanzania, so we are planning to head over there too.”
Following the release of her sultry music video ‘Gimme Love’ with Runtown, the multi-talented Nigerian songstress has released the brand new video for her hit single, ‘Koma Roll’ with the Wasafi artist.
The single serves an Afropop mix of Nigerian and Tanzanian dance melodies. The up-tempo song is a club banger with an infectious sound that is guaranteed to make you move. Featuring a set of the high-energy troupe of dancers, the video directed by Cardoso Imagery has purely Caribbean dance vibes; from the beach scenes to the florescent lit rooms and floral outfits. Much like the song, the scenes are very immersive and invite the viewer to join the party.
Regarding ‘Koma Roll’ her first East African release this year and her second collabo with an East African artist, Seyi says, “I received so much love from my East African family so I had to drop something special for all of you. I have also wanted to work with Harmonize for a long time as he is such a talented superstar. We vibed so well in the studio while working on this song for our fans, hope you all love it and it gets you dancing.”
Born Deborah Oluwaseyi Joshua, Seyi Shay, 33, who is known for hits like ‘Murda’, ‘Right now’ and ‘Yolo Yolo’ first came to Kenya in 2014 for the 2nd season of Coke Studio Africa where she worked with ‘Dumbala’ hitmaker Jay A.
