 Lagos, Nigeria – Following huge international hype around her single ‘Addicted’ this past July, multi award winning Nigerian artiste Niniola dropped her much anticipated album COLOURS AND SOUNDS this month.

Celebrated as the “Queen of Afro-House” across the globe and endorsed by international giants like Beyoncé and Drake, this Nigerian singer unites the Continent and the African Diaspora on her latest offering COLOURS AND SOUNDS.

Incorporating influences from South Africa’s hypnotic Amapiano sound to Jamaican dancehall and elements of vintage Afrobeat, the album is unique in its undertaking.
