Banker cum singer, Sola Odekunle, otherwise known as Arewa has released her second single, Something To You. This is coming on the heels of her debut single, *Baba Omo*, an educative song on the roles of parents in the life of a child. Something To You is a feel-good, laid-back song about a love gone sour.

“Baba Omo is a song that basically talks about irresponsible parents. To simplify it, it’s saying that parents should be there to watch their kids grow, no matter the situation and no matter the relationship with the other parent. I wouldn’t call it an abstract song because the meaning is clear but it’s not limited to the ‘Baba’, it could be the ‘Mama’ as well.”

Speaking on the choice of her stage name, Arewa (which means the beautiful one); says Arewa “is not only my name as an artist, it means my style of music. Arewa’s music is about message songs. They are inspirational songs about serious topics which are however presented in a light and usually funny way.” Thus, when her debut album is released, it would be titled ‘Simply Arewa’.

The fair-skinned University of Ilorin graduate also says unlike the music that pervades the airwaves today, some of which are admittedly noise, bar substance or message, her music can be likened to an abstract art, which is borne out of the experiences of people around her.
