The British artist discussed the potential for working with Odogwu and expressed his enthusiasm for the current golden era of African music.

Sir John stated;

“You are the one artist that I really would love to do something with, because you really make me happy, and your music is just so fantastic. I’ve played eight tracks of you already on the Rocket Hour. So, we go back a long way on the Rocket Hour with you. I would love one day to catch up and do something in the studio with you. It would be an honor for me to do that.”

The African Giant also expressed his desire for them to work together and noted that he has been anticipating it for a very long time.

So you basically put a song to the club in the middle of December, which would seem a weird thing to do in England.
