KERI HILSON LOVES FLAVOUR'S " ASHAWO "

  Songwriter and musician  a couple of  hours ago tweeted that she loves the remix of the song " ashawo" by Nigerian artist Flavour .                                             Keri Hilson : sawa sawa sawale, sawa sawa sawale, ASSHHHHHH #nowplaying " ashawo " remix  by Flavour, love thisss sonnnnng !!!                                                                      Thats some really awesome news if you ask me . It further deepens my belief that doing our own kind of music and not trying to copy the Americans will get our music far.      Incase you dont know the music she's referring to , here it is                                                             Flavour - ashawo remix                           Thoughts ?

TAYLOR SWIFT MAKES HISTORY

   Country music artist Taylor Swift made history this week as she sold  1.208 million copies of her recent album " RED " . This is  a big deal because the last time any artist made such big sales was in 2002 by Eminem selling 1.322 million copies.  In an era where albums sales have being continuously low, this certainly is a plus . @Ghameli
