Former Mavin Records singer Korede Bello has reunited with his erstwhile boss Don Jazzy on a riveting new track dubbed, “Minding My Business”.
The song is part of a two-track release announced by the musician, as part of celebrations to mark his birthday this past Thursday. The other song is dubbed, Happy Birthday To Me.
The new duet, which follows Korede Bello and Don Jazzy’s 2017 banger, Godwin, is a sonic expression of self-confidence, self-empowerment and joy. Bello, excited about the collaboration, tells Weekend Beats, “working with Don Jazzy is always exciting. While making the album project, I knew I wanted to make a joyful song with Jazzy. So, before we started making the song, I told him what type of song I’d like us to make, and he responded that joy was his favourite genre too. Naturally, we’re both joyful people, so making the song was just us being authentically ourselves. His creative energy can be felt on the beats of Minding My Business. Don J and I like to make music that connects with people and connects people with people.”
Don Jazzy, equally thrilled about the collaboration, shares, “Korede is a phenomenal artist, and it’s always a pleasure collaborating with him. Minding My Business is our story, and we’re sure a lot of people can relate.”
On the second song, Korede Bello shares, “I’ve always heard Happy Birthday to you type of songs, but I wanted to create a song that the celebrant can sing to themselves with or without anyone else around.
It’s a subtle nod to self-love. Also, the name of the album is Koreday, it’s themed around my leap year birthday, so, it’s only right that the project’s first track is me singing a happy birthday song to myself. Everything you hear on the song is me.”
