Singer Adedamola Adefolahan aka Fireboy DML has spoken about his collaboration with music legend, Lagbaja.
Recall that the music star featured several music icons including Seun Kuti, DJ Spinall and the US singer John Batiste for his fourth album titled ‘Adedamola’.
Fireboy, in the snippet of Africa Now Radio, said he featured the music icons in the album to give it a “nostalgic feel”.
He expressed his excitement to have featured Lagbaja in the project, adding that ” he is a special artiste”.
“That is a special record, right there. It means a lot to me getting a legend like Lagbaja on that record,” he said.
“One major theme around the album is nostalgia there is this nostalgic feeling when you listen to the album, so it is only right that I employed my legends in the game to help me push this message.
“Right from the very beginning, I knew this record was special, and I could not wait for everyone to listen to it.
“You would not believe this, he was masked up in the studio. It was crazy I did not get to see his face. I had a few interesting thoughts; I wanted to ask him if I could see his face.
“But you know, all that matters is that we made the music. That’s what makes Lagbaja, Lagbaja. You know, “Lagbaja,” where I’m from, in the Yoruba language, means, “Mr. Nobody,” an anonymous person; so it’s only right that I do not get to see his face,” he said.
Lagbaja is known for his signature use of mask which covers his identity.
