Ewa Cole releases debut EP ‘Queen Of African Solk’

By Sampson Unamka

Contemporary female Nigerian Afro Solk artist Ewa Cole has released her debut EP titled: ‘Queen of Afro Solk’ (QOAS).

This body of work comprises up-tempo and mid-tempo songs inspired by the rich culture and diversity of African music.

On ‘QOAS’, Ewa Cole defines Afro Solk as she serves a rich blend of Afro-Pop, Soul and Folk music, all laced in English and her mother-tongue, Yoruba.

The 8-track project features several interesting highpoints, including an attention-grabbing intro in “Call”, “Wayo”, and “Asiko”; a stellar delivery in “Kana”, an amazing dance vibe in “Gbese”, as well as a superb Afro flavor in “Wogor Wogor”. Other tracks “Pepeye” and “Ibukun” help complete what is overall, a smooth, diverse and versatile project.

Although her debut, “Queen of Afro Solk” (QOAS) is sonically and lyrically rich, thanks to talented producers Lussh, Teezsmart, and Tayoristar, Ewa Cole’s penchant for up and mid-tempo records shines brilliantly through in this project.
