Coming out with another album titled King Esther, Actress-cum-singer, Oluwaseyi Ariyo, aka Shebaby has raised
some eyebrows; leaving many to wonder what she is up to.
Some
people said women were queens, not kings, but the singer stuck to her guns. In her words,
she said, “The album is named King Esther to celebrate
the kingship in every female who has gone through tough times, yet is still
standing. It’s a trait of strength and grace. Also, I gave it that title to
inspire every female out there who is downtrodden or has gone back into her
shell due to life’s challenges. I want her to know that she has got more than
enough power on the inside to do exploits and ‘glow up’. The title is not in
any way to make men feel threatened, as some perceive. We are not promoting
women usurping authority over men contrary to the word of God. No!”
Speaking
on her experience managing and performing with a live band, the entertainer
said, “Having a live band is not an easy task. It is nothing compared to doing
hip hop, because that’s more or less a solo career. In a live band, you have
about 12 members, made up of a drummer, talking drummer, lead guitarist,
bassist, keyboardist, saxophonist, back-up singers, and band manager. Indeed,
working with the band has been very challenging, but my colleague and producer,
who doubles as the bassist and coordinator of the band, Deosbeatz, has been
so awesome.”
Sheyi Ariyo in her reaction that it was because she wasn’t making waves in the movie
industry that she switched to music, she said, “Let them say.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions. I am making progress in my life and
that’s all that matters. I’ve grown past worries about hearsay. In a world
where what most people do with their God-given talents is to bring others down
by tongue lashing or passing snide remarks, it is only smart and wise to
stay focused and unwavering to enhance more productivity.”
The event will come up on the 28th July, 2019 at AMBIANCE
CAFE, Oba Akran Ikeja Lagos.
