Award-winning singer, Olu Maintain's R&B single 'Nawti', released last
year, enjoyed impressive reviews from pundits at home and abroad,
winning a couple of awards.
His new single,'Hypnotize Me'featuring American rapper 50 Cent and
velvet-voiced songbird Olivia, was released yesterday.
The singer hopes to make a big impact in the industry with this
musical'marriage'. He speaks on how he has fared in the recent past,
his new plans and sundry issues.
On Winning NMVA Award:
"It just makes me feel that hard work has indeed paid off, having been
quiet for about three years and nominations popping out everywhere to
the extent that 'Nawti' won the Best Video of NEA Awards in New York.
"'Nawti' was also nominated as the Best R&B Song at the Hip Hop World
Awards, and I learnt that the only reason it wasn't nominated as the
Best Video at the Hip Hop World Awards was that no video directed by a
foreigner is ever nominated. I don't know why. They should have asked
because the director of 'Nawti' video is Kehinde Nayomi Smith, and
she's a Nigerian. She was in Nigeria recently for the first time when
I won the NMVA Award.
