Out today, 29 June, and available to stream and download here<\/a>, ‘Calling’ is the debut single from exciting new Nigerian artist, Waymi.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fusing a blend of Afropop and dance elements, ‘Calling’ takes in aspects of romance, mysticism, and tranquility, as it tells a heartfelt love story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“You see the way you talk \/ The way you smile on top \/ You gat the vibe i want \/ you gat the vibe i want \/ I like the way you talking \/ The way you smile dey burst my \/ na only you I want. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Recorded in Waymi’s home, ‘Calling’ was mixed and mastered at the Spyritmix studios in Lagos, Nigeria. With standout elements such as the live saxophone, ‘Calling’ has a real summer flavour that will be the perfect addition to any playlist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waymi’s love for music began in his high school days, where he would memorise entire songs before performing them to his friends and classmates. He pursued a career in international relations, and even dabbled as a personal trainer, but his desire for a music career was always there, and so with his first release, ‘Calling’, he is set to take on the world, and make an impression that transcends borders and cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
