Remember Evi Edna-Oghosi? She was the queen of hardcore reggae that stormed the music scene with an album, “My Kind Of Music” in 1987. Well, if you cannot remember her with this, perhaps the popular song, “Happy Birthday” would do the magic. Then, no birthday party was complete without Evi’s “Happy Birthday” blaring from the loudspeakers. Well, after a seven-year sojourn in France, Evi is set to stage a big comeback.
The musician had abandoned hubby, Emma Oghosi and two daughters to pursue her music career, first in the West Coast and later in France about seven years ago.
But Come Easter, Evi Edna, who is currently making waves in Paris, would release her new album, “Peace in the World” on the label of Premier Records Limited with whom she released most of her hit albums.
Says Premier’s Artistes/Promotion Manager, Daniel Akpan: “Reggae freaks would certainly have an exciting time this Easter period listening to the latest album of Evi-Edna.”
“Peace in the World” was produced by one of Nigeria’s talented producers, Fortune Otega, who is based in the US. The 10-tracker has songs like “Sida” (AIDS), “Time is Running Out”, “Urehe Ugberehe”, “Let Us Be Happy”, “Peace in the World” and a remix of three of her popular songs; “Obaro”, “Come And See The Lord” and “Jealousy”.
The artiste, who has been signed-on by France-based, W.L.D Music, would also release the new album simultaneously in other African Countries.
Apart from “My Kind Of Music”, Evi has six other albums to her credit. According to Akpan, Evi is expected in Nigeria in a few months time to promote the new album.
Meanwhile, Premier Records has compiled the promotional videos of Evi’s previous works for sale on VCD.
