WOW! he sounds awesome!!
Femi really got soul and he is HOT..
is the song with Ego that used to sing for lagbaja?
He has a good voice but the track sounds like R Kelly in the late 90s walahi.. too throw back. It is like they are ripping Aliayah and R Kelly.
I really like “Never Felt a Love” , it’s the kinda music I can listen to over and over again. Kudos! Wonder if it’ll be embraced by the naija audience in a major way?.
I absolutely love his voice.. Kudos Femi..
p.s: You’re one fine brother o..wink..
never felt is cool,but the second one sounds more of r.kelly,he should work with nigerian producers to produce what naija people will like ,wish him good luck
I really love his voice and to think he’s Naija has me sold. He has a very universal sound. Never felt a love is the track i love and Ma pa mi is good Naija R&B song. I wish him the best.
