Love is in the air, and what’s better than the whole world celebrating love, at the same time? Nothing, you’d agree with me. It’s the season, and we’re all loving it.
In the light of Val’s, we bring you five Nigerian classics that will make you ‘fall in love’. Spoiler Alert: D’banj’s “Fall In Love” isn’t one of ’em.
Yeah, I know what you’re thinking, Nigerian songs are only about bum bum and whining and shaking. But what if we could give you the best love songs? Songs that bring love into the atmosphere.
They may be sleepers, tracks you wouldn’t play on a normal day, but just for the season, you deserve the feeling. Let’s fire!
This song can make you start loving again, on a whole new level. If you’re emotional, you could cry. If you don’t have a woman, you’d wish you did.
Wande Coal’s sultry voice, all over the song, can cool off your head, if you’re a lover of good music. If you care about the lyrics, you could let the music just take you away. Faraway!
Dicey got this jam, right. It wasn’t only a party starter, it also became one of the coolest love songs you would hear around. The “Send Down The Rain” sample makes the vibe resonate with fans of classic old-school reggae.
Above all, Dice Ailes got the magic, and why won’t you just put on your headphones, play “Ella” and let love over-shadow you?
Prove that you can make a hit song, and still make it cool. No booties, no shaking, and the vibe is still so amazing, you’d feel the music entering into your soul.
Think of it as when you bath in very cold water. Think of how it penetrates into the bones. That could very much happen, when you’re on Katapot.
There wasn’t gonna be a Wizkid on this list, before. Yeah, cause his music is kinda too generic to be narrowed down to just “love”. You can hardly find a song of his that’s not a party starter.
“Love My Baby” was from his first album, and is still one of his biggest jams ever. You might wanna have a baby, before you put this on the stereo and start singing “I love my baby oh oh oh…” Ol’ but Gold!
R&B is scarce around here, uh. But this “Tumbo” jam is some hot stuff, you might wanna play to intensify the mood. Definitely not a sex scene kind of jam, but it’s NSFW. In short, it can turn you on. Bye!
We’d never get a guy named “Kiss” singing about love this fine, again. I just want to lie down, play this track, and get the Kiss Daniel and DJ Coublon effect, we’re never getting again.
You want something groovy for Val’s? Then Yawa by Mayorkun is the go-to jam. Although one of Mayorkun’s most slept on songs. But you’ll love this.
Kiss Daniel – For You (feat. Wizkid)
Probably cause Wizkid is on it, this jam isn’t the normal Kiss Daniel stuff. It sounds too cool, and lovey. It has them making promises to the girl, and what can be better this season?
OK, so where did I put this before, when I was saying others. You won’t hear Davido sing like this again, I can bet. Also a very old one, it’s also gold.
You may wanna bang this, and bring back some nostalgic feelings about your 2012 lover. Isn’t that the kind of stuff you’d wanna do this season?
Sean Tizzle – Perfect Gentleman
He’s still got one of the best love songs of all time. “Perfect Gentleman” is the perfect love song you can’t get bored of, ever.
“Let me be your perfect gentleman, let me be the one to always hold you tight…,” sounds like the catch-up punchlines you could drop for your lover. Just put the track on replay, and vibe it!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
