Oya Dancia is a party starter and definitely one of the songs to rule the parties in 2013. The DJs definitely can’t resist the influenece of Fatman Scoop on the song.

With these new songs, Olu is ready to start his career in 2013 on a very high note. Speaking on the new songs, Olu said it is high time he dropped something new. “It is public knowledge that NAWTI was well accepted and even till now, the song is still in high demand.

I’ve been getting lots of calls and messages from friends and fans asking me when am I releasing my next singles and I thank them all for the love. The two songs I’m releasing now are part of the songs on my album titled, Choosen One and I’m very sure a lot of people will enjoy it as much as they enjoyed NAWTI. It is a great way to start 2013.”
