UK born Nigerian mega talented artiste Lanre Njoku is arresting to say the least. Lanre who screams ART with her entire looks take you back to what music should always be.An unapologetic kinky hairstyle,broad African features,gypsy/bohemian outfits spiced with understated latest fashion, Lanre is definitely not one to just walk away from.And with the Guitar which fits like a natural handbag,you are left anticipating what she sounds like-then you are hooked because Lanre brings you memories of everything Classic.Tracy Chapman,fellow Compatriot ,Asa and many more, truly,here is the Artiste to beat!Ruling top Shows and Events that leaves many with envy,this Poet/Songwriter/Singer was born years ago at Stoke-On-Tent England but from age four lived in Nigeria for about twenty years where she admitted music was relegated to a hobby as Science, Maths and other subjects took over.But representing her School at age eight ,when a Teacher opined that she sang like an Angel,music never stuck closer than a second skin.
At the monthly Creative Lounge event held at high brow Farringdon area of Central London sometimes ago, the quality gathering of top Artistes applauded Lanre to no end.Lanre indeed, with her disarming smile has brought the art back to music and if her line-up of gigs and events presently is anything to go by,our ears will get used to vintage music.No wonder,to kick off the new year,her spectacular song ,'Ma Gbagbe' from her latest album, Pen Voyage Chapter 1-Singing For Change made the Lufthansa playlist 'Sounds of Africa'.Lanre without doubt is now ruling the UK and beyond and will give Asa a run for her money.Quote us!
