And all that gist about her parents is really TMI...I mean if it came up in an interview of the woman then fine...But is it really necessary to include that her Dad was bla bla bla and Mum is bla bla bla in a press release about her single..SMH..

  20. Nothing in the bio to hint at this lady's failed marriage to Soul E. Well people, this is the same lady that got controversially married the guy Soul E who was about 11 years younger than she was. Its now music, kwo?

  21. I wish Ure luck. But, realistically speaking, I don't think she has much of a career waiting for her in music. She should try something that she's good at like banking.

  22. LOL.....she has time !

  23. Banker, Life Coach, Musician...then later, Actress and finally maybe Boxer. Wishing her the Best!!!

  24. "...an R&B song laced with a fusion of African Rhythm," I've seen the "B" already (You know what I'm talking about?) and not the "R" in this picture. That African Rhythm ni koko. Expecting to see you in Gele in the Video. Kudos!

  44. This is a classic example of how not to send a press release. What is all this information doing in a press release announcing a new act? I regret to say that this poorly put together - riddled with typos - release is a sign of a failed career move. Dead on arrival.

    I actually think Ure would do better in movies. See Nse Ikpe-Etim!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Abeg, abeg, abeg, is this the making of a manifesto for a political post?! All this long story on top release of single? A 'nightingale'? Really? Let us be the judge of whether she's a nightingale or a rat caught in a trap. we await your lyrical attempt.

  46. Instead of her to settle down for a husband,she has cme out to ridicule herslf for d 100th time..Ure get a life..mshewwww.

  47. no definition of chRistainity in heR appeaRance

  48. Linda, I think its fair to explain why you have refused to post my comments. Am taking it personal because some of this people need to hear the truth sometimes. As for Ure and her song, lets hear it first then we know if music called her or she called music, nough said.

    ReplyDelete
  49. everyone just dey open mouth to sing nawa oooo

    ReplyDelete
  50. yea right, she remembers her talent at what age? after testing other professions. and then when she's interviewed, we would get to hear responses like "i started singing right from childhood" please she shouldn't abuse we listeners that patronize good music. i hope she realizes on time that theres a difference btw signing in d bathroom,or while doing laundry and professional music.

  51. aaaaabeg make unna free Queen Ure she has gone through a lot , i feel very sorry for her , i know she was very unlucky by marrying well below her , she must have thought the key to happiness and true love was marriage , not knowing that she only should make herself happy irrepective of what society says .

  53. this woman should lay low and stop making a ridicule of herself..she should leave all the scandals and attention-grabbing stunts for younger women in their 20's.
