Aina More's "Healer"
London fly girl Aina More, who's penned some serious afro-house jams lately, shares her new single "Healer." It's a“true healing song for myself and the producer," the singer mentions. "It was the first recording I made after losing my Dad and it provides me with a true uplifting feeling and I hope it does the same and more for others.”
MC Galaxy "Your Love"
Nigerian comedian and musician MC Galaxy came through with the romantic video for his new single "Your Love." If you recall, last year Swizz Beatz remixed his previous hit "Sekem."
