Bee Entertainment and Stargaze Management act, Ibe-Jii has released his first single titled Ayanfe, off his body of musical works, GreenWhiteDope, which is set to re-awaken old sounds, old values and old loves.

The song, rooted solidly in the western Nigeria culture, renowned for its high incidence of twins and musical giants, the singer, Ibe-Jii, wears his unusual birth marking and musical roots as ‘authenticity’ – an embodiment of sweet sound, great soul, warmth and sensitivity.

Described as an eclectic African storyteller, the singer, poet, and thinker presents the new single in Yoruba language, delivering it with a sensual tale of love, life and wonderment, and longing with musical verve, energy and sensitivity.

Ibe-Jii’s journey is a subtle blend of the Taiye and the Kehinde, the seen and the undisclosed, the old and the new, African vibes and international sounds. His kind of music is folklore that centres on tales of love, life and hopes; unbridled love — pure, true, unblemished and selfless.

“Ayanfe is my first gift to the world; a world of pure souls, lovers of edifying verse, of chivalry and character – a beautiful, beautiful place,” he says.
