Earlier this week TY Bello released her new single The Future, the track is her comeback single 3 years after the release of her debut album Greenland.
TY explains her inspiration for The Future
I had committed to writing a jubilee song for Nigeria. I was moved to hone in on my message on December 31, 2010 when we were shocked by the Abuja bombings. In my view, the bombings are a metaphor of the hopelessness and impending tragedy that may lie ahead if we do not become more engaged in building the country we desire. I realize that the crisis in the nation is beyond the political. We each need to personalize Project Nigeria and take a stand for Nigeria NOW. And so, the first lines of the song are about just how important we are as a generation at this time in our history. My hope is that as you listen to this song, you are stirred and realize that the future that we dream of is not way ahead of us. By looking within NOW ,we draw in that future. One action. One person at a time. We must embrace the moment. I leave you with the words of my friend, Fela Durotoye: “Deliver the future: We can. We must. We will.”
Apart from music TY is a celebrated photographer, in the late 902/early noughties she was a member of gospel quartet…KUSH.
Apart from Lara George who is also working on new material anyone know where the other 2 members Emem & Dapo are? what are they up to?
