Following over twenty-five years of professional and personal collaboration in a career which has spawned several hit songs and music awards, pop duo Tunde and Wunmi Obe aka T.W.O. have announced the release of their fifth studio album titled T.W.O. Plus.
Featuring collaborations with
artistes such as 2face, 9ice, Dammy Krane, Teniim, Segun Obe, Floss and Brace
amongst others, the 15-track album is a fresh addition to the artistic
repertoire of T.W.O who have previously been recognised for being one of the
few Nigerian music acts from the 90s who have maintained their staying power
with evergreen music. T.W.O. Plus employs a more urban production feel and
mixes it with their signature melodies and socially conscious messages.
The couple, who are Nigeria’s
most recognizable husband and wife act, first achieved recognition and public
acclaim in the 90s and over the past two decades, their creative collaborations
have spawned successful albums such as T.W.O 4 Real, T.W.O. Legit, as well as
popular anthems such as 2005 smash hits “Mogbomoya” and "Adupe".
T.W.O. Plus retains the feel-good factor from their previous albums
while appealing to the nineties and noughties audience.
Speaking about the new album,
Tunde Obe remarked that it is the culmination of their musical careers thus
far, and the result of four years of painstaking creative work. In his words,
“T.W.O. has grown and evolved over the years, both as a sound and as a brand
and this album is a celebration of all that is great about T.W.O. as well as a
venture into a fresh sound because we have always prided ourselves on our
ability to be musical innovators. I think our fans are going to love this new
album because we made it with them in mind. I myself find it very difficult to
pick a favourite from the songs on T.W.O. Plus.”
Featuring production from elite
music producers DelB, Samklef, Papi J and B. Jay Productions, T.W.O. PLUS
promises to be a delightfully original and fresh marriage of sounds, which will
further be complemented by the videos that are to be directed by none other
than Clarence Peters of Capital Dreams Pictures
T.W.O Plus is a 15-track album
which includes the hit singles, Green White Green ft. 2face Idibia, Omonsa,
Bianu ft. Floss, and Wedding Day, whose video has already won the NMVA2014
award for Best Use of Costume.
The new album, marketed by Ugo
Best Global Ent., will be launched for general release on Tuesday May 5, 2015.
