For those unaware, a triple threat in the traditional sense of the word, Abiola has been singing, dancing and acting across four continents. She is a dynamic and exciting entertainer and approaches her musical exploration from a multicultural perspective.

Her artistic journey has taken her from The Classical Theatre of Harlem in New York to sharing the stage with Grammy-winner Shania Twain/ From shaking the stage with Latin Grammy-nominee Viviana Pintada to crooning with jazz big bands.

Spending an adventurous three and a half years in Asia further broadened Abiola’s musical perspective and the depth of her skills. From performing Korean folk songs to African and Latin dances, Abiola used art to share her global experiences and connect with Asian audiences.

With her latest offering, Abiola Time, Abiola is thrilled to present her debut album. This album will dance you around the globe with infectious rhythms while dazzling your ears with delightful melodies. She was honored to work with Grammy-winner Dave Darlington of Bass Hit Recording to complete the mixing and mastering of this eclectically satisfying album.

Simply put, Abiola Time is a treat that will delight your ears and inspire your heart.

1. Kilofe
2. Give Me
3. Can’t Wait
4. Werey Style
5. What We’ll Be
6. Free
7. Ko Le To
8. Naked Talk
9. Para Ti, Para Mi
10. Feel This Good

The album opens on the upbeat and groove friendly, harmonic Kilofe and the highly rhythmic, mid-tempo balladry of Give Me and they are followed by the sultry R&B of Can’t Wait, the strutting, dancefloor vogue styling within Werey Style and then the smooth R&B gold of What We’ll Be is brought forth.

Next up is one of my own personal favorites from this new collection, the atmospherically-charged, guitar-led Free and that is in turn backed by the Afrobeat-imbibed Ko Le To, the Ibiza-House embodied dips and whirls of Naked Talk, the album rounding out on the Caribbean-flavored Para Ti, Para Mi, closing on the sassy euphoria of the dancefloor banger Feel This Good.

The studio was her playground as she recorded this album. A playground where nothing was too odd to try, an additional take was never too much, ad the music of dreams was the waking reality.

Now you are invited to partake in this dream of sound unbound, to revel in the sweetness, to weep at the melancholy and to dance, dance, dance to the exciting Abiola Time.
