Nigerian music business expert cum singer, Bankulli has released a brand new single titled “Gbemiro” featuring electro-fusion star, WurlD.
Performed mostly in his native Yoruba language, “Gbemiro” is a prayer, an invocation sparked by a greater yearning and a plea of exaltation to his destiny. On the inspiration behind the song, Bankulli says ”the world at this moment needs hope and the only way I know to spread any ray
Against the infectious beat produced by Nonso Amadi, the catchy hook and WurlD‘s soothing vocals is a mellow and evocative message that wraps a warm hug around listeners beyond the limitations of social distancing.
Bankulli, whose real names are Abisagboola Oluseun John, is one who wears many hats in the industry. On the streets, he is recognized as one of Afrobeats custodian. Despite getting name credits for his vocals on Jay Z and Kanye West‘s collaborative album, ”Watch The Throne,” the “Yeezus” album by Kanye West and more recently the Grammy Nominated ”Lion King” album by Beyonce, the multi instrumentalist has yet to pour himself into his first love; singing, which he discovered as a child.
