“Love Ex Machina”, which will be released on Friday, September 11, 2020, contains his 2019 hit single ‘Landlord’ and four new tracks including a feature titled “Woman” with popular Afro-pop star, Simi.
Sir Dauda, the first signee to the BAHD Guys Entertainment family is also a frequent collaborator of the “Bop Daddy” rapper.
He was first introduced to the Nigerian music scene in 2012 with the release of his first single titled “Sisi Oloja”, which turned out to be a fan favourite and opened the door for a number of collaborations with other Nigerian acts including Show Dem Camp, Adekunle Gold amongst others.
Speaking on the recent development, Falz described how elated he was to be able to work integrally with an artist whom he not only respects but also believes in.
“Whenever Sir Dauda opens his mouth to sing, I am always in such awe of his talent and unmatched artistry
“His pen game in the industry is unmatched. So I am very blessed to have him on my team..”
The genre of Sir Dauda’s music, “Jungle Funk” is a blend of poetry, folk and rap lyricism fused with African sounds and rhythms.
His singles “Sisi Oloja” and “Landlord” were met with much critical acclaim and are indicative of the start of a new musical movement in Nigeria.
Dauda’s five-song E.P. finds him working with a slew of mavin musical acts in Nigeria.
When asked about what he hopes his debut E.P. will accomplish, Sir Dauda said “tell authentic stories.”
“My sound is a blend of different styles and each track on the EP gives a very spiritual feel that fans would love and appreciate.
“So picking just one favourite track won’t be easy for them.
“As someone who was born in the 80s in the city of Lagos, with parents from mixed Nigerian heritage, I know the importance of art that compels through genuine storytelling.
“This is why with this project I follow in the footsteps of my influences (Bob Marley, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Stevie Wonder, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Mos Def (Yasiin Bey), and Nas) to create a body of work that will be truly timeless.”
All fingers crossed, we’re anticipating the release of “Love Ex Machina”.
