Specialty

Nigerian R&B artist TolumiDE has announced the release of her acoustic EP “Mama Sunshine.” For this EP, she enlisted the help of two talented African artists. Jaja Basheghezi, who played guitar and produced the music, and Toby Foyeh, who co-wrote the title track. The listeners’ journey starts with “Mama Sunshine,” a song about the warmth and sunshine that mothers bring to all of our lives, then moves through four more tracks filled with themes of self assurance, overcoming challenges, and love. She chose these specific songs because she wanted to feature them in a more intimate setting, giving listeners a chance to hear them in a completely raw and organic format before they move into further professional production. When fans are listening to this EP, it will feel as though they are experiencing TolumiDE singing it live, right in front of them.

Singer Songwriter TolumiDE, born in Toronto, raised in Lagos and currently in Washington - DC, announces the release of her new single “Beautiful”. The Nigerian R&B artist, TolumiDE, has been captivating audiences since her debut ‘My Love’ album release in 2010 which brought a refreshing sonic cross-cultural blend of Afro-pop and Neo-Soul. Influenced by acts within R&B, Gospel and Classic Soul genres such as Sade, Brandy, India.Arie, and Africa Pop stars as, Onyeka Owenu and Christy Essien Igokwe, TolumiDE whose name translates as “Thank God” in Yorùbá, continues to soar as a Female Vocalist with a fresh ethnic sound. Bob Marovich of JGM says the “African polyrhythm, explosive techno and TolumiDE’s fetching African accent with lyrics that uplift, empower and inspire while remaining grounded in the realities of modern life”.

In her latest song release, TolumiDE’s smooth vocals in awakens ‘Beautiful’ with a smooth soul beat, a driven synthesized bass and ethnic rhythms. She expresses the heartfelt characteristics of genuine friendship and love with English lyrics and the phrase "Ore Mi" which means 'My friend" in Yoruba language. There’s a sense of joy and affirmation that makes it impossible not to sing along. Beautiful is the second single glimpse of what we can expect from TolumiDE’s sophomore album ‘Suya Soul’ a phrase she coined to describe her endeavor to compliment soul music with her African heritage using bilingual lyrics and dynamic rhythms. 

TolumiDE drew inspiration from her personal experience sharing “I felt really happy and grateful to have and experience genuine friendships”.

Yoruba (Nigeria)

Nipa ife Olugbala,
Ki yo si nkan
Oju rere Re ki pada

Through the love of God our Savior,
All will be well;
Free and changeless is His favor;
All, all is well.
Precious is the blood that healed us;
Perfect is the grace that sealed us;
Strong the hand stretched out to shield us;
All must be well.

Though we pass through tribulation,
All will be well;
Ours is such a full salvation;
All, all is well.
Happy still in God confiding,
Fruitful, if in Christ abiding,
Holy through the Spirit’s guiding,
All must be well.

We expect a bright tomorrow;
All will be well;
Faith can sing through days of sorrow,
All, all is well.
On our Father’s love relying,
Jesus every need supplying,
Or in living, or in dying,
All must be well.

Mary Bowly (Mrs. Peters), 1813-1856

Reminiscent Track is 
Rich in Golden Moments  

With so many challenges wrapped up in 2020, one can bring light into the present moment simply by remembering. In Afro-pop soul singer-songwriter TolumiDE’s upcoming single, she embraces the ‘good ole days' with gratitude, cherishing memories to help lighten up the moment. After connecting with mates online from her secondary school days in Nigeria, she was inspired by a time with fewer cares, when she remembers “dancing in the sun.” Set to release January 15, 2021, “Throwback” celebrates “ayoola,” the joy of wealth, which includes the richness of moments. 

“This year, there were a lot of moments in dialogue and zoom hang outs where I really appreciated the 'good ole days' of not having any major cares or worries of the world,” TolumiDE reflects. “It felt very good to have cool memories that have shaped who I am today.”

Recorded in collaboration with Terry Poindexter from two separate locations, “Throwback” was produced remotely with TolumiDE recording her vocals from home. During the early days of quarantine, her acoustic album, “Mama Sunshine,” resonated with her audience for its nostalgic themes; these included the beauty of brighter days, themes of love, self-assurance and overcoming challenges. Continuing an upbeat, groovy-dance feel with an R&B/Afropop flavor, “Throwback” features lyrics in English and Yoruba, alluding to TolumiDE’s Nigerian heritage. 

TolumiDE’s music has been described as “a big blend of Afro-pop, funky reggae, neo-soul and jazz injecting her African heritage using bilingual lyrics, into a friendlier foundation of melodic pop and R&B balladry.” Currently, she is a voting Grammy Member with the Recording Academy and Non-profit Afropolitan Youth who are the hosts of FestAfrica. Her accolades include winning the Best R&B Female Artist at the Nigerian Entertainment Awards, opening for Les Nubians at the Howard Theatre, opening for Salif Keita, singing with Toby Foyeh and Africa Orchestra at the Toronto Jazz Festival. In addition, she has had the opportunity to headline a show at the Legendary Blues Alley in Washington D.C. 

In spite of the success she’s experienced in her music career, TolumiDE is most inspired by her upbringing, cultural heritage and the loved ones who have supported her along the way. Through the golden moments reflected in her lyrics through which she wishes to “bring back those days…” she longs for her listeners to experience this feeling.

In TolumiDE’s words, “I would love listeners to be happy, share their stories like photos and videos of cherished memories and possibly dance along to the song. Together, we can celebrate and give thanks for the simple things.”
