Introducing Canadian-based Nigerian singer, songwriter and poet BUWA with his brand new single ‘WANT ME’ and the first taste of his forthcoming debut EP titled OLU, which is due for release in December. Coming on the back of his well received summer power ballad titled ‘Folake’, Buwa switches things up with ‘Want Me’, which is a resounding pop-soul and retro swing offering, led by Buwa’s excellent vocal performance, infectious melodies and captivating songwriting, and held together excellently by his fun and playful performance, and a glorious big band swing musical landscape.
Buwa’s ‘Want Me’ single was co-written and crafted with revered Nigerian-based producer SizzlePRO, who has worked with some of Africa’s biggest stars including Yemi Alade, Aramide and Waje, while the accompanying visuals see Buwa collaborating with burgeoning Vancouver filmmaker Raymond Knight to create a one-man visual performance art piece, which showcases Buwa in his fun and expressive elements. According to Buwa, “the video is all about showing different sides of me having fun and showing my audience why they want me. Body art also features heavily in the video to show off the beauty of our culture”.
