Colourful and cerebral, Goldie’s musical strength and depth, sensuality and serenity have appropriated her as the high water mark that other female singers have to live up to. Add to that mix the fact that the Kennis Music female artiste and  multiple awards-winning singer has created a smouldering persona that borders on the eccentric and eclectic,
she released her debut album, Gold, which given Nigerians’ apathy towards pop music, has been a critical success. The album exudes the audacity and flamboyance of Goldie, and has spewed a couple of provocative, smart, and infectious
videos; You Know It, JawoJawo and DTMB (Don’t Touch My Body) The 3 songs are now certified street anthems with increasing followership. A good music video is just one of the many ways to do this.” Little wonder, the video for ‘You Know it’ won the best female video at the 2010 SoundCity Music Video Awards and also picked the award for best use of costume at the Nigerian Music Video Awards; while DTMB picked up best Afro Pop video at the 2011 Nmva’s.
Goldie has so far in the past year nabbed a total of ten (10 awards) including Exquisite Lady of the year (ELOY) Best Female Artiste award and City People Best Female Artiste of the year... She has also been inducted as a Federal Celebrity Special Marshal alongside other notable Nigerian Celebrities.
"SAY MY NAME" is a spanking hot new single from GOLDIE produced by award winning Masterkraft.

Year 2011 has been a wonderful year in the Nigerian music industry. The entertainment scene in Nigeria received a lot of international exposure with lots of ground breaking musical deals signed as evidence of progress. In terms of album sales and acceptance by the fans, while some musicians did excellently well, others performed below
expectation despite the hype and promotion surrounding the album release. After a series of interviews with Album marketers at Alaba and the Nigerian music consumers ( the fans), a lot of facts emerged on the album performance in 2011.However, we've decided not to mention names and leave this discussion open to you our lovely Naija  Whistle blog reader to as a follow up to our previous post on the Top 10 Nigerian songs of 2011.

We premiere DTone Martins new singles: “Sunkun Ife” and “Ife Gbagbara”. Both songs brilliantly delivered with a traditional African folk theme, well-versed lyrics and a seductive melody. He co-produced the two songs with Daniel Iyere, P loop and Fatt Beat. As a result of his outstanding performances, DTone Martins emerged second runner up in the 2008 rhythm unplugged competition and has gone ahead to gain a strong following in his jazz/ contempoary folk genre of music.
Asked about the song he liked so such that he wished he sang, he answers “I wish I wrote Owuro L’ojo by
Beautiful Nubia, and Kiss from the Rose by Seal. DTone Martins hopes to have collaborations with 2Face, Sunny Ade, Femi Kuti, Asa, John Legend, R. Kelly, Shade Adu and Seal.

Timi Dakolo, winner of the first ever West African Idol finally released his long awaited album titled Beautiful noise.
The album contains 11 songs plus an intro in Timi Dakolo’s native Bayelsa language. Timi proves himself as a prolific song writer with deep and reflective content filled lyrics on every song.
He moves away from the everyday Nigerian song and brings in a blend of American gospel and contemporary love songs rendered with a smooth voice and nice delivery.
“Let it shine”, the second track off the album tells the usual sad story of
growing up with a poor background and having shoes without laces.
Other Beautiful collaborations on the album include my favourite “Heaven Please” with MI who put a nice flow on the beat. The song sees Timi and MI wondering aloud to the heavens and praying for a chance to speak their minds to the girl they love in the hope she’ll listen.
“Is it over is another collaboration with Joan EKpai which is similar to Akon’s “Never took the time”. It’s a soul touching one.
A Nigerian musical album is incomplete without a party song and so Timi teamed up with producer Cobhams Asuquo in “Raise the roof” which saw Cobhams rapping.
“So beautiful” is a collaboration with Elvis Larri which has an African dance rhythm showing Timi singing in Yoruba.
“There’s a cry” is an emotional song and has a nice orchestral beginning plus a nice touch of a real human cry.  The song talks about the many things that do not go right in the society.
I love you remix features Chocolate city’s producer Jesse Jagz who has a similar song he did with Brymo on his own album. Jesse Jagz delivered excellently in both the first and third verses of the song.
On the overall, Timi Dakolo’s Beautiful noise album is rated a 4 star album.
The West African Idols has also produced musicians who are doing well in the Nigerian entertainment and music scene like Omawumi.
