He desperately needs to find a hit song, and then he can launch this album into the space. At the moment, his stock isn’t rising, and needs a shot in the arm.
Oritsefemi isn’t ready for a new album. There’s no reason why he should even be considering one now.
The singer has announced a new album titled "Corporate Miscreant", together with the album cover. "Corporate Miscreant" follows four solo albums “Elewon”, "Wicked World", "Musical Taliban", and "Money Stops Nonsense"(MSN).
After Oritsefemi dropped his MSN album in 2015, he went on to milk certain singles off the project. “Double Wahala” was the standout single, which relaunched the singer back into the market as a pop singer, years after he had toiled in Ajegunle as a conscious artiste. Other singles ‘Igbeyawo’, and ‘Redi Dance’ had further helped his cause, providing him with more acceptable content to chase the lights of pop music.
But he has managed what gifts that were thrown his way poorly. After choosing quantity over quality, he voiced over 20 collaborations since his album dropped, petering out his worth as a premium artiste. None of those songs have become hits. And then there’s his well-documented beef with his manager Danku.
Oritsefemi and Danku had fought through the entire country, often over the most basic of things. From money to names, to imprint monikers, the pair had sustained a war via the press and found out new ways to go lower in status. The police had been involved, physical altercations were reported and accidents have occurred. All of these had affected the singer’s ability to sustain music. An artiste at war cannot create, neither can growth exist without peace.
These days, they are lovebirds, coming out to say the extended battles that had been fought. They denied to have ever been at loggerheads and new music has begun to flow. Happiness yes?
But is Oritsefemi ready for an album? No. Albums in Nigeria have to be teased, and anticipation built via the release of singles. The fans and public have to yearn for new material from you, and this can only be achieved via the acceptance of singles. None of Oritsefemi’s singles post-MSN have become hits. There’s only ‘Mr Gomina’ featuring Reekado Banks, that have been marketed immensely to little effect. He still has no single to propel this album.
All through his career, Oritsefemi has performed better with hit songs. Below are all of his albums, with the singles that made them special.
