Victim of Truth

ok...so...im in luv...and heres a little bit about her :)

some background:

"Nneka is the daughter of an Igbo Nigerian father and a German mother. Nneka is an Igbo name taken from the language of the Igbo people who live in the Eastern part of Nigeria and means “Mother is supreme, mother is the best”. The singer was born and grew up in Warri, in the Delta region of Nigeria. Nneka relished the experience of singing from an early age in her school and in the church choir. After relocating to Hamburg, Germany, at the age of 18, she pursued a career in singing alongside a degree in Anthropology. She divides her time between Nigeria and the German city of Hamburg."

....



music-wise:

Since 2003 Nneka has been working closely with the hip hop beatmaker DJ Farhot, a producer living in Hamburg. As a young singer she first gained public attention in 2004 while performing as an opening act for dancehall reggae star Sean Paul at Hamburg Stadtpark.

After releasing her debut EP 'The Uncomfortable Truth' with the music label Yo Mama's Recording Company, she performed on her first tour with Patrice Bart-Williams in April 2005, playing shows in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

She finished recording her first album in the autumn of 2005. Entitled 'Victim of Truth', it was released not only in Germany but also in England, France, Netherlands, Nigeria and Japan. Garnering rave reviews from the media, the UK's Sunday Times later declared it “the year’s most criminally overlooked album”...

In February 2008 she released her second album, 'No Longer at Ease'. The title of the album is taken from a novel of the same name by Chinua Achebe and reflects lyrical the content of the record. Most of the songs are political, talking about the plight of the Niger Delta and the corruption in Nneka’s homeland. “No Longer at Ease” combines the political and the personal in “a winning mix of soul, hip-hop an reggae”. The lead single from it, 'Heartbeat', became her first song to break into the German Top 50. In September 2009, the song entered the UK Singles Chart at number twenty."

The Uncomfortable Truth

"Before The Roots took the stage last Tuesday at New York’s Higline Ballroom (and after some atrocious neo-soul singer I can’t remember the name of), a Nigerian singer came on stage and stole the show. The singer, Nneka, has been gaining buzz in the neo-soul communities for a while, and has already garnered a MOBO award in the UK. She more than held her own dropping her tracks “The Uncomfortable Truth,” and getting an extended ovation with her track “Suffri”." - http://www.thecouchsessions.com/
