Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde is known as one of the queens of Nollywood but many know that she has another side to her. Omotola is a huge music buff and this has led her to foray into the world of music. Her first album, Gba was a learning curve but now Omotola is set to release a brand new album in 2009. She has been hard at work in the studio with producer Paul Play and Del B. We cant wait to listen to the album!

When musical trio Styl-Plus entered the music scene a couple of years ago, they were like a breath of fresh air. They came with a new sound and a clean image, fans in return welcomed them with open arms and they enjoyed a period of unprecedented success. Its now commonplace for 2Face, Faze, D’Banj, 9ice and co to embark on international tours but Styl Plus were the first new-school nigerian artistes to start the trend. Their first 2 albums were mega hits but their last album which was released last year barely created a ripple in the music scene. Well, Zeal, Shifi and Tunde have decided to restrategize, they are currently working on a new album and are reportedly moving to Lagos from their Abuja base.
