Long live #ttt 😁🎼 and #threetunetuesday
Last night I was watching the Ballon D'Or or the Golden Ball which is like the Oscars for football.
No surprises to know that Messi won it for the eight time!
The big surprise was seeing Calm Down being performed by Nigerian Afrobeats star Rema!
I know I know I am not Nigerian, but I thought I would do this week's ttt on Rema.
And being a Nigerian music star I thought to post in Hive Naija community, mind you with my luck of late no doubt I will be muted for not being Nigerian.
Ah well fluff it, how life would be dull if you don't stick the two fingers up every so often.
Rema – Calm Down
Calm Down is the song he performed and I have to admit I have heard it a few times and I love it.
You may well have heard it too .... because it is massive!
Originally Calm Down was released in February 2022 it is the fourth track off the album Rave & Roses
It hit the heights of number 3 and spent a total of 27 weeks in the UK Singles Chart top ten.
The song is widely regarded as the biggest and most successful Afrobeats song of all time.
Baby, come gimme your lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love
You got me like, "Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa"
I found out alot of Nigerian girls call their blokes Baby!
And ... love how Rema described how the song came about ...
"Calm Down" is all about the events that led me to finding love at the time. It started at a party where I saw a girl who stood out from other girls so I felt like shooting my shot. We spoke and danced... but her friends didn't let me get any closer which killed the vibe, but afterwards when they weren’t there, we stayed in touch and hit it off.
Catch the full lyrics here ....
Check the bonus tune too....
Being a charming rascal of course I had to include Charm as the second tune!
Rema - Charm
It is one of his newer tunes from this year.
Rema is of course Divine Ikubor and he is from Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria.
I love how his career took off! Source
He started his music career in churches with Alpha P. In 2018. Rema posted a viral freestyle on Instagram to D'Prince's track "Gucci Gang". The post caught the attention of D'Prince who flew him to Lagos to offer a record deal to the young talent
Rema - Woman
When I see a video called Woman then of course I just have to play it.
First of all I like the tune, but then I dug in and did my research!
Well darn I am impressed.
Body dey move like a python
Love wey dey give me iron
The whole song is fantastic and those lyrics hehe I been practising my Nigerian now 🤣
So what do you think ladies
you like Rema or Tengo trying to sound Nigerian 🤣
I think Matilda will have to practise her moves for dey Spaces in November!
I hope that you enjoyed these Afrobeat tunes from Rema.
Which was your favourite (if any) ?
Note: The three YouTube videos that I have shared are not owned by me, I am simply spreading great music on Hive.
The bonus tune I mentioned.
Calm Down from Rema had a remix with Selena Gomez and it went viral!
I wish that you all have a brilliant rest of your week, and until we meet again enjoy your tunes 🎶🎵🎶
Thanks for visiting and I wish you all a terrific rest of your Tuesday.
