Aadae

Aadae makes a strong impression with her debut single, ‘River Of Tears’, mixing pop and Afrobeat into a sound that instantly stands out.

“I describe my sound as a pop lover’s take on the classic Afrobeat form”, she says. “It was always important to me that my music told my story. Whatever I do has to represent my British upbringing as well as my Nigerian heritage”.

She continues: “The song is a declaration that celebrates strength – I guess it’s the ultimate pep talk that encourages you to stand defiantly in your own truth – and dance away your fears”.
