That young woman with such uncanny creative talent and versatility is no other than Simisola Ogunleye, a.k.a Simi. Simi, a mass communications graduate, is no stranger to the Nigerian music industry. She wrote her very first tune at the age of 10 and started out singing and dancing in her early teens as a member of the teenage church choir. Eventually, she went on to launch her debut album in 2008, which was produced by Samklef. The album spawned hits such as Ara Ile, Ogaju, Iya Temi, to name a few.
In 2011, she met the talented producer/songwriter (Oscar Heman-Ackah) and they both connected musically. However, it wasn't until 2013 that she officially signed a production contract with Oscar Music Production, after which they both nurtured and created a fresh and genius direction to her sound, style and music in its entirety. Via this platform, she eventually got signed to X3M Music, the Lagos-based record label which is home to Nigerian R&B sensation Praiz.
Simi’s genre of music is Afro-pop, although she also dabbles in pop and soul. Her two singles, 'Tiff' & 'E No Go Funny" dropped on June 9th 2014.

The song "Logba Logba" by Simi is a love song that expresses the feelings of a woman for her man. The lyrics are written in a mix of English and Yoruba language. The song is about the strength of love between two individuals and how they can overcome any obstacle when they are together. The song starts with the singer asking her man if he can see her and telling him not to leave her because she has no plans to go solo. She expresses her love for him and how much he means to her.
In the chorus of the song, Simi tells her lover to spend his money on her because she is worth it. She urges him to keep their love a secret and not let anyone interrupt what they share. She strengthens the trust between two partners that their love is going to last forever as they have waited for each other and nobody ever thought their love would stand the test of time. In the second verse, she further expresses her love to her man, saying that she has been looking for him all her life and that she can't stop thinking about him.
To summarize, "Logba Logba" by Simi is a beautiful love song with a simple yet powerful message that true love conquers all. With its blend of English and traditional Yoruba language, the song is unique and infused with the cultural flavor of Nigeria.

Nigerians have been listening to Black Americans for 100 years, yet now all of a sudden Nigerians make the best music? Have you ever said that Black Americans make the best music? So, Simi is better than Whitney Houston? Aretha Franklin? Diana Ross? Who in Nigeria is better than Michael Jackson, James Brown, Ray Charles, Prince...?
