Coasting between Igbo, English, a little Pidgin and English with wild dexterity, J’Dess is supported by an impressive set of production and instrumentation from The Cavemen, Black Culture and Magical Andy; the message is filled with copious amounts of love and hope, expressed in emotive writing of mixed themes and subplots. J’Dess embodies a hopeful character who demands her preferred brand of love but moves hearts with “Lee Nu” and “Chi Efo,” a power ballad that is a personal tale of growth, hope and opportunism – in English, “Chi Efo” means ‘a new dawn‘ – the inspirational number gets a remix with features from powerhouses Waje, The Cavemen, Selebobo, Zoro, Chigurl and Loud Urban Choir.
In Igbo, ‘Ada‘ refers to the first daughter of the family – with that position comes great expectations and responsibility – according to her, the potent eight-track “Ada” is a gift, born of a rollercoaster of emotions and perseverance and even fear – “it’s been quite a journey, one I certainly will embark on over and over again. This has been about five years in the making and it’s been a time of discovery; an incredible learning process: having to drop the old in order to embrace the new. Sounds that formed me had to be redefined. I am not in control of your reception, but one thing is sure, ‘Ada‘ is beautiful. She is a gift: my first gift to the world. ‘Ada‘ is an entire body of work: an expression of my being, an embodiment of love and hope, a picture of life as I imagine and want it to be, a sound of joy. ‘Ada‘ is my first baby.”
“Ada” is available on all music platforms and has been showered with critical praise since release – listen up and share your thoughts. | ENJOY!!!
