Ladies and Gents, thank you all for staying with us through the year; for reading our many Music Reviews, for sharing our posts and for commenting. Much appreciated. Here’s another one for all you music fans and critics to chew up. You are welcome.
2014 has been an absolute humdinger! Following the close of it, we have deemed it okay to publish a list of Artistes whose careers, endorsement ratings and general lifestyles have kept us talking and are worth the buzz. From the frenzied stage performances to the multimillion naira deals, platinum album sales, international tours, twitter trends and bla bla; here’s our list of Top Nigerian Artistes For 2014.
In no particular order –
TOP FEMALES FOR 2014
ASA, CHIDINMA, YEMI ALADE, TIWA SAVAGE, SEYI SHAY, SAEON, STORMREXX, NIKKI LAOYE, EVA & NIYOLA. Oops, we almost omitted WAJE. But our sweetheart songbird wasn’t up to much all year until nearly the close of things. So hey, maybe that affected opinions from our panelists.
TOP MALES FOR 2014
WIZ KID, DAVIDO, ICE PRINCE, IYANYA, MI, WANDE COAL, P SQUARE, BANKY W, FLAVOUR, SOUND SULTAN, TUFACE IDIBIA, FLAVOR, SKALES, RUNTOWN, PATORANKING, SEAN TIZZLE, ORITSE FEMI, PHYNO, BURNA BOY, OLAMIDE, OREZI, ILL BLISS, BRYMO, FALZ, REMINISCE & SOLID STAR.
There’s also TIMI DAKOLO, COBHMAS, MODE 9, FEMI KUTI, BANTU, PRAIZ & BEZ to help us round up the male category nicely. These Artistes are ‘hard sells’ – Artistes whose genres aren’t exactly the mainstream materials that bang across the media today. Still they’ve managed to stay relevant in the scheme of things so we have them herein.
Lastly, we have our list of 2014 EMERGENTS – Artistes who weren’t exactly the biggest names through the year, but who came through with quite some promising stuff; with a few hits here and there that bore heartening, upbeat flashes.
In no particular order –
KOREDE BELLO, REEKADO BANKS, TEKNO, DI’IJA, SIMI, EBISAN, NINIOLA, RUBY, UZIKWENDU, YUNG L, ENDIA, FEFE, LIL KESH, NOSA, BOOGEY, RIC HASSANI, EMMA NYRA, TONYE GARRICK, DAMMY KRANE, L.O.S. & HARRY SONG.
This would be all for now. Have a lovely, joyful, pleasing, refreshing and merry Christmas. Much love from the team up here. It’s time to merry already, because as you know, we are ahead of our time at Olorisupergal.com. Remember to show some love today, sharing is everything. You are welcome.
