BNM Red Alert: Dele
Dele (also known as Dele Akinz) is a 24 year old Nigerian singer/songwriter based in the UK. At the tender young age of eight, Dele wrote his first song and discovered that he had the ability to move an audience with his voice. Inspired by the soulful tones of Boyz II Men’s musical versatility, and coupled with his siblings support and guidance, Dele’s song writing continued to flourish.
In 2008, Dele made it into the underground UK music scene with his debut single ‘EX’, which reached number seven in the MTV Base Music Chart. ‘EX’ also courted a number of rave reviews from radio stations all over the UK. Further releases included ‘F U Right’ and ‘Feel It’.
As an artist, his style is very sensual and reminiscent of Boyz II Men, Blackstreet and Joe just to name a few. His music explores thematic reflections on love, human relationships and passion. If you are a true lover of traditional R&B, then you would definitely love Dele. His brand mashes up his muscular physique, that crossover combination of youth and impending maturity, expressive lyrics and a charismatic fresh style that would appeal to many audiences. Dele defines his music as a mix of R & B, soul and a touch of dance and promises a wow-ing stage performance; having already supported the likes of Dru Hill, Joe, Styles P and Blackstreet in notable venues in the UK. Dele also embarked on an international tour across Atlanta, USA.

Sorry, i know BN is not a music review site and all, but i hope you guys will review your contents well before posting, he whole caption and all, i was expecting something mind blowing. My opinion, this guy is a back up singer, no originality, trying to fuse Jaheim, Usher and Joe into one frame, just wont cut it. Lastly get a song writer if you can afford one, lyrics are weak. If you intend on sticking with R&B and Soul if not go the 9ja way, make some auto tune club noise that you can sing at weddings and make your money, LOL!!!!!!! Nuff said.

Please, you are bitter. Seriously. Did he leave you or something. He is actually pretty good. I have not seen a Nigerian guy that can sing better than this without the use of auto tune. So lets be truthful.

Abeg go naija ohh…. all these lyrics i dont know ohh..
But he knows he is fine and HOT…
Publicity taken, try to adopt some naija flava like Tiwa did…
I am sure songs like these are now boring (maybe its just me, find it boring, usher has used rinsed them ongs out). I dont approve one of the videos/lyrics too degrading(way to explicit in a disgusting way)…

It’s a decent try but I’m with brianna and purpleicious babe on this one, did dude really say ‘let it burn’? Apart from it being lyrically poor, these kinda songs are overplayed, if he really wants to go there then he should be prepared to be on par with those at the top of this genre #justsaying
