Nigeria’s King of Soul, Timi Dakolo, has released the video for his latest single, “Wish Me Well,” off his forthcoming album, “Love And Consequences“; the video for the single which was tagged the Hustler’s Anthem, was shot in the United States by Fugo Studios – Timi Dakolo draws inspiration for this single from his days as a young boy in Port Harcourt just before West African Idols, going through the harsh events of life.
“I have had it bad, from days with no money to pay my school fees, having to survive by selling pure water, pushing wheelbarrows for money, it has been tough. I remember when Idols came calling, I knew this was my opportunity to make it, I picked my bags and moved to see what would happen. I was scared, but if I didn’t, I wonder where I would be.”
The song which has a melodious play of several instruments and strong vocal delivery was a result of another collaboration with iconic Cobhams Asuquo; moving from the Highlife tune of “Iyawo Mi,” this single, “Wish Me Well,” has a more Western feel.
Timi Dakolo said,
“when the desire to be great takes sleep away from your eyes and fear from your mind, you might not know how you will make it or get there. You pick up your bags and move with just your dreams, fears and worry, for the desire to achieve is greater than the fear of the unknown, all loved ones can do is wish you well.”
