Abuja stands still for soul { Lindsey }

“Lindsey”… a name soon to be heard on everyone’s lips and not for shoplifting, rehab or a lesbian relationship but Nigeria’s very own soul songbird. Some may remember Lindsey very briefly as the first contestant on Project Fame 3 to be kicked off but it seems she would be having the last laugh and the likes of Iyanya and Chidinma won’t be alone sharing the spotlight from the Project Fame alumni as witnessed by hundreds this past Saturday Mar 2^nd 2013

The songwriter, singer, guitarist, is no stranger to the world of Nigerian entertainment and has been pegged to be the future of Nigerian soul amongst the big names in the music business.

If you haven’t heard the EP then I think the appropriate question to ask would be “What planet have you been on?” The EP beautifully named “Brown” is one of the best sounds coming from the giant of Africa since Asa. Nigerian born and bred singer, former Jos resident (don’t all the greats come from Jos?) Lindsey released some of the greatest 8 songs with 3 bonus tracks ever heard. You can tell she has been influenced by the greats but still managed to make her own Nigerian unique, fresh, suave sound that can tame a wild boar.

It was only right to have a musical event centered on the singer, songwriter to show the world her talents and songs… and she started with the DMP event at City Park Wuse II on the 2nd of March 2013.

As Lindsey got on stage, she had the most appealing way of driving the crowd, engaging them with her soft but fierce voice and even shockingly made the crowd of Abuja groove to her mid tempo tune 'The 90s Song'. It was something that has rarely been witnessed- making the Abuja crowd act like they weren’t stuck up. We didn’t exactly have cameras watching them but they let loose and grooved to the song that took you back to the 90s.

Lindsey drew in the crowd with an exquisite blend of high quality sound/video/lighting system, armed with some of the best clothing choices seen on a “startup artiste”, a top notch 7 man band that synced perfectly with Lindsey’s moves and sounds… It was pure magic that Saturday, March 2 and nothing less.

Lindsey performed her popular tune 'The 90s Song', an amazing remix of “Drift Away” and more off the EP but I believe what got the crowd drawn in to listen more  than before was her cover of Fela Kuti's  'Trouble Sleep Yanga Go Wake Am'. If you were never a Fela fan, Lindsey would have made you a convert after singing that meaningful song; the beats, the bass and her voice made the song nothing far from perfection.

“She had everyone else spell bound with her voice from start to finish says Amaka(Fresh) of HOTFM98.3 Abuja”

Nigerian music has taken a different and should one dare say “more exposed” turn due to the efforts of Darey, Bez, Asa. Lindsey will be a name added very soon to these greats -with songs like “Believe” and “The Letter” you would agree too.

Her music can be described as the “joy that comes in the morning”; this is a woman to watch out for and the EP- “Brown” is something to have on your playlist.

You’ll be seeing more of Lindsey as this event will not be the only one promoting this amazing singer, so “joy that comes in the morning” will be coming to you sooner than you think across Nigeria, Africa and the rest of the world.
