AUDIO + LYRICS VIDEO: Brand New Generation (BNG) - Many Things


BNG, which stands for Brand New Generation, is a group of three men whose actual names are: Daro Umaigba, Patrick Edwards, Nosa Umaigba.

Earlier this month, BNG released the audio and lyrics video for their new single, Many Things.  I love the highlife and cultural flavor infused into this song.  The cover artwork is a winner in my books! There are "many things" I love about this song, but I will let you listen and judge for yourself.

This Friday's Free Downloads | AFRESH: Uchechukwu, Welulu Welulu, Tinriri Tanrara

This past weekend, I spent sometime on Afresh's page on ReverbNation listening to their songs.  Who are Afresh? Good you asked.  Afresh is an acapella group composed of young men (well, they look young in their picture):  Austin, Jackson, Joel, Godson, Rest, Bayo, Victor.

You see, they have A  LOT of songs you can download for free, but because I have decided not to overload you guys with information, I share just three at a time during this weekly series.

Afresh // ReverbNation
I kept looking for one song I did not like.  Did not happen.  These guys understand their niche, their audience, their market, and stick to it.  From one song to the other, there was no hint or trace of auto-tune anywhere.  I thought I was in heaven :D

This Friday's Free Downloads | Featuring Mosadi Kanjji and Tehila Crew

I recently learnt that it pays to stick with what works.  Before I started blogging, I used to spend hours on ReverbNation looking for new music.  I was literally on Cloud 9 whenever I discovered not just new artistes, but those with quality music.  I had not done this hunting in a while, but over the weekend, I decided to go back to my old habit, and guess what? It paid off!

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the two sets of artistes featured in our Friday series: Mosadi Kanjji and Tehila Crew.  Let's meet them.
