Mp3bullet has decided to compile a list of Nigerian artistes, fans are looking forward to their albums this coming year.
Mr. P:
Popular Peter Okoye, best known as Mr. P from the defunct Psquare Music group is the first artiste we look forward to his album “Prodigal” in the coming year.
The singer, whose album “Prodigal” was to be released on the 20th of November had postponed it due to the EndSars movement and protests.
He, however, apologized for the delay and promised his fans that the album will be released in January 2021.
He wrote;
“APOLOGIES Team P
Today, we would have started the countdown to the release of THE PRODIGAL Album.
Myself and my team have put in a lot of work in this project. But due to the current situation, we thought it best to put it on hold!
My team and management would’ve been promoting the Virtual/Listening Album Concert over a month ago which was supposed to hold on the 19th Nov towards the Album release on the 20th of Nov.
To be honest, a lot has happened in the past few weeks and because the cause affects us all, this was the best albeit a difficult decision to make.
In order not to leave you without a taste of The Prodigal, (I didn’t want to release singles from the Album!) we have decided to release one song out of the 16 brand new Songs as a “Single” this year. And then the Album in January 2021!
New Year! New Energy! Thank you all so much for your understanding! Apologies once again”
