Eighteen years after the original, Seyi Sodimu has released the remix of his hit single, ‘Love Me Jeje’, featuring American R&B sensation, K. Michelle.
Previously released in 1998 from his debut album, Born in Afrika, the original track was a monster hit and helped launch the career of the Igbobi College alumnus.
The remix, which was released on May 30, 2016 (on Itunes, MTN music plus, YouTube, MTV Base Africa, Trace Africa, ETC.), was produced and recorded in Atlanta, Georgia by SHIZZI (Magic-fingers) and the video was also shot in Atlanta by Sesan Ogunro of Film Factory. The A&R for the project was done by Bankulli and additional vocals by Password and Duzzi. Live Guitar was by Fioke with special thanks to Eric Cire.
Seyi Sodimu, also known as Mr. Jeje, is widely known for his hit singles ’Love Me Jeje’ and ‘Money Man’.
He is also considered one of the pioneers of the new sound of the ever-growing Nigerian music industry of fusing native languages with English lyrics.
Seyi is an international artiste who has performed at the prestigious Press Club in Washington DC, performed alongside Wyclef Jean, worked with Ginuwine, and collaborated with reggae star, Wayne Wonder, and many more.
The classic song has been completely reproduced with a new verse written for K. Michelle in an effort to perfectly marry R&B and Afro Soul, which proved to be perfectly successful.
Seyi Sodimu, who founded the independent label Goodlife Entertainment in 2001, is working on his fourth album, which is due for release later this year under the label.
Multi-instrumentalist singer, songwriter and television personality, K. Michelle is known for hits which include ‘Fakin It’ featuring Missy Elliott, ‘Fallin’, ‘I Just Can’t Do This’ and ‘How Many Times’.
She has three studio albums – Rebellious Soul (2013), Anybody Wanna Buy a Heart? (2014) and More Issues Than Vogue (2016) – to her credit.
