#iyeoka okoawo

[lboogie1906]

Iyeoka Okoawo (born April 28, 1975) is a Nigerian-American poet, recording artist, singer, activist, educator, and TEDGlobal Fellow. Her music includes elements from soul, R&B, rock, hip-hop, and jazz.

A first-generation Nigerian-American, she was a practicing pharmacist before launching her musical career.

She began her musical career by founding the group The Rock by Funk Tribe, a collective of musicians that enabled her to interweave her poetry with jazz, blues, funk, and gospel. She released her first solo full-length album of poem songs, called Black and Blues, through Phanai Records. Then she began to tour and appeared on other artists’ albums, including The Press Project’s Get Right album and Memoirs of the Tempo by Tempo Valley.

She released her second album of poetry and music fusion, Hum The Bass Line, again on Phanai Records. She made a cover of U2's hit song “Desire” for a compilation of U2 covers called In The Name Of Love: Africa Celebrates U2. The album featured Grammy Award-winning/nominated African artists, including Angelique Kidjo, Les Nubians, Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars, Vieux Farka Touré, Vusi Mahlasela, and the Soweto Gospel Choir.

She released her new album, Say Yes, containing nine songs and two poems, through the Underground Sun artist development company. The first song, “The Yellow Brick Road Song”, was featured in an episode of How To Make It in America. “The Yellow Brick Road Song” is being used as the theme song for the series “Fairly Legal”.

She was nominated in The 10th Annual Independent Music Awards for her song “This Time Around” in the R&B Song category.

She is touring in support of the new album and her poetry. She has toured in support of artists such as Femi Kuti, Zap Mama, and Soulive, as well as playing at musical festivals, including Bonnaroo. The buzz surrounding her poetry has garnered her national attention through performances at the TBS Trumpet Awards, the Sullivan Honors Awards at the Kennedy Center, and Russell Simmons’ Def Poetry Jam. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Simply Falling Iyeoka Okoawo There goes my heart again All of this time I thought we were pretending Nothing looks the same when your eyes are open Now you're playing these games to keep my heartbeat spinning You show me love, you show me love You show me everything my heart is capable of You reshape me like butterfly origami-yeah You have broken my heart This time I feel the blues have departed Nothing can keep me away from this feeling I know I am simply falling for you I'm taking time to envision where your heart is And justify why you're gone for the moment I tumble sometimes, looking for sunshine And you know this is right when you look into my eyes You show me love, you show me love You show me everything my heart is capable of And now I can't break away from this fire that we started You have broken into my heart This time I feel the blues have departed Nothing can keep me away from this feeling I know I am simply falling for you, There my heart goes again In your arms I'm falling deeper And there's nothing to break me away from this You have broken into my heart This time I feel the blues have departed Nothing can keep me away from this feeling I know I am simply falling You have broken into my heart This time I feel the blues have departed Nothing can keep me away from this feeling I know I am simply falling for you There my heart goes again You have broken into my heart Oh I'm falling deeper, I'm falling deeper Besteciler: Iyeoka Ivie Okoawo / David Matthew Franz

Ее песни, можно сказать, «врезаются» в память и заставляют трепетать даже самые тонкие струны души. Ее репертуар очень нежный, романтичный и проникновенный. Такие композиции расслабляют и погружают в атмосферу легкости. ... Читать дальше: https://oi5.ru/n186385324
