Still waiting on the singer’s album

It’s three days till the end of August and still we continue to wait upon Miss Kedike’s album. We’re in the third quarter of the year and we are yet to be blessed by a great album from Chidinma Ekile or any of Nigeria’s music industry's leading ladies. Some of us had hoped that the singer would end the dry spell with a rain of her highly anticipated album.

In 2010, she was named the winner of . In 2012 she released her self-titled debut album, “Chidinma”. That was three years ago.

She didn’t officially come out to say her album would drop in August, but there were rumours, which her fans had hoped would eventually become a reality.

The ‘Jankoliko’ crooner  is not the only one in this category of projects awaiting release in this quarter, the industry also awaits the release of albums from Davido, Wizkid, Lil Kesh, Bez and Timi Dakolo – all of whom are yet to confirm the dates of their album release.

This year, the songster released a single titled ‘We are one’, she also released a humour-filled video for  ‘If e no be God’ and the visuals for ‘Kite’. These releases made our mouths water. Her most recent collaborations with Flavour' and CAPital-Nation's 'Finally' have provided an even deeper insight into the musical variety of the songstress.

In spite of the silence regarding her album, the diva has ensured she’s stayed engaged with her fans. She’s performed at several shows and concerts across the country and even in Cameroon.

The 24-year-old singer reinvented her look in 2013 with a natural crop hair do and a wardrobe filled with African prints. It seemed as though there was the good girl turned bad transition going on but she still remains the sweet girl next door.  With the reinvention of her look, it was easy to assume that the rebranding was in preparation for her sophomore album, still we wait.

Truth be told, the Capital Hill music group know something we don’t. Her singles and videos continue to make our mouths water for what’s to come from the Capital kitchen, the aroma is starting to get unbearable.

Chidinma’s silence on this has forced us to imagine the prospect of what's to come. We’ve enjoyed the starters, now we await the main course.
