A visit to Afolabi's blog afforded me the opportunity to hear this installment in the Music Series. This is Nayo's '1+1'.
I have listened to this song once, but I knew it had to be included in the Music Series. Unlike other songs in this series, the video for this song is not online, but if anyone has seen it, please let me know. Nonetheless, I think it is a beautiful song and I hope that you will enjoy it.

Big cheers for letting us know about this Nigerian talent.
No doubt she has a talent for singing, however It all reminds me of a few things I have heard before so I am a dubious about how original it all is.
...i like nayo...a little wary of the comparisons to sade...i think there may be a couple videos (definitely for african girl) on her myspace page...
alright, this one is much better than the first song of hers that I heard. I actually don't mind this track. Why wasn't this her first single? It probably would have changed my whole attitude towards hermusic.
Well, I wish her the best of luck.
She is a fantastic vocalist. She definitely qualifies as a great vocalist using two criteria that I use:
a) How do they do when there aren't a lot of instruments causing a lot of noise in the back e.g. rappers when they freestyle and musicians singing acoustic versions of songs...her vocal ability came through so loud and clear over the barely-there instrumentals.
b) How do they sound live: By the sounds of things she would sound just the same live and that would be great.
She definitely strikes me as someone who someone should pay money to see live.
Sade on the other hand is just smoothness and mellifluousness personified.....nothing works quite like Sade for soothing the soul.
This is GOOD.
i think this lady is what all african girls want to identify with, class and sophistication, am sure they are tired of ghetto.... u go girl, your album is lovely!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UK based Nayo will be in Nigeria from Tuesday July 22nd!!
