His real name is Oluwafemi Oladele. But everyone simply calls him Femi Solar, his stage name. The big news is that his new album HIGH RISE is out and it is trending. Below, Femi tells City People about his new album.
Congratulations on your new album. Tell us about High Rise. How did you package it?
HIGH RISE… is a body of work that I have committed a lot into just to give you something different from the norm.
From the music arrangement, to its composition and instrumentals and even the percussion, this is one album that gives all you could ever ask for.
I can boldly say it’s my best album so far. I really put in my best to make it good. Also the production budget was high just so I can achieve my aim and my dream to make it the best of all
Is it a CD of songs or you have to download only?
Presently the tracks has been released online and we are expecting our major Marketer online to release it on other platforms. All online platforms will be loaded with the new album HIGH RISE.
For now it only available online due to pandemic situation which has affected the CD market. But once the CD market is open, it will definitely be available I felt so bad and it was really sad actually, considering all effort and money spent on the preparations and advert.
But it’s so important to think about people’s safety because of the popular Covid-19 in the country and all over the world…. and also in compliance with the government order.
How has the Coronavirus lockdown affected your music business.
Actually it has not been so easy coping without stage performance and other entertainment functions but we are coping. And to God be the glory our fans has been really there for us at this time. And we are also trying our best to reach out to people
