Brymo set to collaborate with Veteran singer, Asa

Star singer, Olawale Ashimi (who prefers to be called Olawale Olofo’ro) and popularly known in the music industry as Brymo has revealed to BBC Yoruba during an interview today that he is willing to collaborate with legendary singer, Asa.

The news is really interesting as the male artist usually doesn’t feature other musicians in his work.

His words: “I have spoken to Asa’s handlers. What remains is to set it up. She is the one person who I can collaborate with. What she talks about — love, social issues, everyday issues — are things that matter to me.

“I had important things to talk about. It is hard to bring someone who doesn’t know my thought process to collaborate on such a song.

“Many of my colleagues collaborate because of positioning. There is so much politics involved in collaboration so I chose to sing alone.

“I have collaborated in the past but I was not satisfied with the outcome”, he says.

The singer who is currently promoting his 6th sixth album titled Oso, said that music collaboration in Nigeria is more of politics and traction rush than it is about music.

“If you look at it well, many people like KSA, KWAM 1, Ayinde Barrister and other indigenous musicians hardly collaborate”.

“Abroad too, people like Adele, Coldplay and Bruno Mars record albums alone,he says.

Still, on the BBC Yoruba interview, Brymo responded to critics on why he choose to appear nude in his Heya music video.

“The video is for people to see that we’re backward and need to change.

“I was not happy that people said I did something wrong. It means people have forgotten where we came from.”

“I am a bushman, still living in a world made possible by the West. I, like other Africans, are just existing and not responsible for technological advancements and innovations.

“We have not contributed to the world. We don’t solve problems or create solutions,” the singer declares.
