Very nice video and sweet tune from U.S based singer- songwriter Janelia,This is a love song in Yoruba with a great melody taken from her new album Nigeria 'Ti Ti Lai Lai ' released earlier this year.
Janelia who is currently based in Baltimore U.S.A grew up in the Nigerian city of Ibadan and started singing from a very early age in her local church choir before going on to sing professionally while in college she lists her influences from a wide range of artists and music genres the likes of Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, Sade, Babara Streisand and so on.
She has a strong attraction for love songs and ballads and this is reflected in her music which has been described as a blend of West African sounds with an urban feel, her songs are mainly sang in English but also fused with choruses and words in Yoruba her first language.
