Soul Muzik has announced the signing of singer-songwriter Zaina to the label. Co-founder Darey Art Alade who made this known in Lagos, today, says Zaina, who recently moved back home from Atlanta, 'is a supremely talented singer, writer and performer who has worked with some of the best brains here and abroad; a fierce entertainer who wants to make music fans happy'.
Soul Muzik, also home to Darey and Mo Eazy, joins other labels like Chocolate City, Mavin Records and EME who have signed female artistes in recent times. There had been a huge drop in the number of active female singers in the country; all that is changing now, and Zaina says she's 'here to stay, to play my part and add my voice to what's going on in my great country'.
Not entirely a newcomer, Zaina has in the past worked with eLDee, STYL Plus, Sasha, Lynxxx and received nods from the popular Nigerian Entertainment Awards.
And to kick off Zaina's stay at the label, her debut singles "Lolola" and "Totally Yours" (featuring multi-award-winning Jamaican dancehall star Wanye Wonder) have been released.
LOLOLA, Zaina's official debut Soul Muzik single, is a party anthem for every lady who's ready for that good love. The message is simple: "now is the time for love, no games, no preamble, no second thoughts, no pretence, let's get straight to the point, I'm ready for the next level so make your move!"
On TOTALLY YOURS, Zaina features Jamaican reggae sensation Wayne Wonder, for a soulful exploration of timeless love, submission and devotion. It's a sensual love song about friendship that has evolved beyond the platonic. It's about a commitment that has overcome the battles of loyalty and doubt. Zaina and Wayne collaborate 'wonderfully' to express the thoughts of a couple in love who have come to that special place in their relationship where they are certain beyond any doubt that they are ready to give themselves totally and completely to each other - body and soul. This is Zaina's 2nd official Soul Muzik single.
Both cuts are available on radio stations across Nigeria from today Wednesday September 12, as well as online, and on other platforms.
Her debut album is due next year.

US failure that came to Naija to succeed.....I pity my country!!! Tomorrow if you ask her if she is a Nigerian she will say that her parents are from Nigeria and she is an American citizen! Shame on Naija! Dare! and all!
They will not look at the Nigerians in Nigeria and help them......it is an outsider....*hisses*
NEKS you try jawe. At least, I wasn't thinking of commenting till I came across yours. I don laff taya. Leave your ol'boi alone, jor. As for Zaina, she's good to go, I wish her well.
@iwugideon
Honey she looks nothn like Tiwa so stop decieving urself. Go 2 specsavers!
Wow!!those kisses got me tingly all ova.;-)Kisses back at u hon..
More like competition for Tiwa Savage.....with similar physical features; dark skin, hot bodies.
Tiwa n Zaina r 2 totally different people! Zaina is a talented artist! And she has an amazing personality!
@ Neks and Tunero, can't stop laughing at ur comment,na serious clown una be,meanwhile, i've seen one of Zainas song and i fell in love with her and d song immediately, wanted to download d song but "empty hen" network no let me that day.
she dey try, i think she will sell well.
Seyi shay does it for me,beauty ,talents and what an amazing voice,unfortunately she sef just come back naija
@Neks: ur comment made my day. Was reali pissed too. LIBloggers have a way of makin me smile. Abt d cute chic, let's give her a chance and see wt she has to offer
Where is tiwa savag,why do u want to know,how is her life any one's business,or better still look for her and find out.Nawoooooo.Welcome jere Zaina.
I am Nneka,
There is no satisfying u guys..on this same blog were people disin Tiwa for appearing @ all events now,una dey find am. I think we have seen 2 many of Tiwa's interviews to no she isn't a proud person....so to d haters,u can sip izal
If she is good enough, why can't she remain abroad and get record deal?
Awwww..I'm glad I could do dat..wishing u happier days ahead..;-)
Tiwa Savage the second
Welcome back home baby
WHy must we always compare people to someone else? If a talented person wants to pursue her dream, why can't she regardless of who came before her. Why don't you people follow your dreams and then have someone tell you that you sound like someone else or you are stealing their look.
Let the girl be jo...
She is finer than Tiwa anyway and sounds better to me.
She looks very much like tiwa savage tho. And nice songs. Soul musik ι̥§ my dream record label. Kudos 2 her
She looks very much like tiwa savage tho. And very cool songs. Soul musik ι̥§ my dream record label hapi 4 her
