AT
LAST, MAJEK FASHEK RETURNS WITH NEW SINGLE
Friday, August 26th, 2016
Reggae
star, Majek Fashek, is in the news again. This time, the musician’s numerous
fans, especially in Nigeria, are excited that he has finally released the
product of his much-publicised collabo with equally gifted singer, Tuface
Idibia.
The
single, which is available on the Internet, is a remix of Majek’s wave-making
song titled, No more sorrow from his 1991 album, Spirit of love. Many
music fans of the older generation are, no doubt, familiar with the song, which
appeared to rock the music scene and of course, the radio waves almost
ceaselessly in the 1990s.
For
most fans of the reggae musician, who has had a long running battle with drug
and alcohol addiction, the recent remix of No more sorrow signals
Majek’s triumph over the forces that have delayed the progress of his career
for more than a decade. It also announces his final return to the music scene,
10 months after he emerged from a rehab home in Abuja.
But it appears that the new song was released without the
input of the musician’s benefactor, Chief Ayiri Emami, who single-handedly took
responsibility for payment of Majek’s bills at the rehab home. Tuface Idibia’s
manager, Efe Omorogbe, confirmed this, in a telephone interview with our
correspondent on Thursday. Read more
