Hits Back To Back – New New From Teni The Entertainer
Since hitting the Nigerian Music scene last year with her single Fargin, Teniola Apata aka Teni the Entertainer aka Teni Makanaki has not stopped with the back to back hits, lighting up 2018 with her singles Wait, Lagos, Askamaya and Fake Jersey, Teni has proven that she is the entertainer.
A while ago on Twitter, Teni asked fans if they’d rather dance to her next hit or be put in their feels and after receiving equal enthusiasm from Nigeria for both sides, the singer released two hits in the early hours of this morning, each song to fit a mood. The first Case is a love song with very simple, but deep lyrics describing the extent to which she would go for her lover. Shake Am is more up-tempo perfect for that weekend faaji mood.
This is the singer’s third double release this year and we really can’t wait for more amazing music from this absolute superstar.

Tomorrow by Fasina
Lately, several African artists have been drifting from the norm and exploring other genres of music – We at the PGM Club embrace the freedom of expression in music, wholeheartedly.
Fasina’s ‘tomorrow’ produced by Yinoluu, who also produced Ayüü’s ‘4uü’, and is on the rise known for constructing his sounds to merge with the balance and form of the artist’s voice and sound, is a classic example. This new single is breezy and has a warm, indie flow, completely different from his last single, 5 Star
The vibe is everything you need for the summer. His many references to Nigerian slangs such as ‘Warri no dey carry last’ makes the song as a whole very Afrocentric! And adds a comic twist to what started off as a heartbreak song.
It’s the typical love story, many of us may find ourselves relating to this song. Fasina explains the complications of falling in love, the familiar drake line ‘feelings change’ pulls on many heart strings.
Nevertheless, despite the endless circle of back and forth as he explains, he’s just not ready to let go. Sounds familiar, right?
Hopefulness is bliss, the title ‘tomorrow’ is filled with the intent of anticipation.
We at The PGM Club recommend you give tomorrow a chance and spread the word to other good music lovers.

GoodGirl LA Releases “La Confidential” EP Exclusively On Boomplay
Barely a year after the release of her emotive single ‘Far Away‘, GoodGirl LA released her debut project yesterday (August 12), titled “La Confidential.” However, the EP is currently only available on Boomplay, as it would be made available on other platforms by September 6.
Containing 8 tracks, this EP is an entirely solo affair as she does not feature any guest appearances on the project. Priime mainly handles most of the production on the album as LA also works with Quebeat, Leriq and SYN who produced ‘Far Away‘. One exciting thing about this coming EP is that it doesn’t contain any pre-released single.
