This is the remix … Project Fame stars are ready to shine!

Project Fame West Africa is fully committed to kickstarting the careers of its winners. To this end, MTN and Ultima Limited have unveiled the critical factor in this year’s show that will raise the bar and ensure the continuous improvement of the craft of these most recent music ambassadors. The six contestants who have made it to the end of the show will be teaming up with six A-list stars to produce remixes of six hit songs which will be unveiled on the night of the grand finale, Saturday, September 26th, 2015, at the closing gala. So, who’s singing what? When Praiz released his solo hit, Rich And Famous, it quickly caught on and became something of an anthem on the lips of everyone who wanted to be, well, rich and famous. The booming voice of Anderson will feature on the remix of this song. With his warm personality and the notes he hits with that voice, Anderson is sure to do justice to this remix. We hope he becomes rich and famous. Arewa will be pairing up with 9ice on his evergreen single, Gongo Aso, which shot the star to national attention in 2008. Arewa has a big voice that is rich and entertaining. We cannot wait to hear what she does with Gongo Aso! Yemi Alade’s voice is lovely, her style is earthy and her smile is infectious. Jeffrey will be joining her in the remix of her cheeky smasher, K.I.S.S.I.N.G. The studio sessions saw Jeff being pulled out of his shell by Miss Alade. The live performance is greatly looked forward to! When Chidinma emerged the winner of Project Fame West Africa Season 3, we knew a musical goddess had been unleashed on the scene. Today, she tops the charts and has become a household name. Our ‘last twin standing,’ Pearl, will be singing alongside Chidinma on the remix of the monster track, Kedike. It doesn’t get any earthier and more ‘at home’ than Sound Sultan. With the poignant lyrics and soulfulness of the song Area, he stamped his foothold on a genre that will reverberate for ages. Ada joins Sound Sultan on the Area remix and with how she’s been known to tear up the stage performance after performance, this is bound to be riveting. Where season one winner, Iyanya, is the Kukere master, Deinde is the ‘ginger’ master of the Project Fame Season 8 academy. Both loved by their female fans, Iyanya and Deinde give off different levels of the same soft and sultry vibe. Oreo is a crowd favorite and if the remix by Iyanya and Deinde goes ahead to top the charts, we won’t be surprised. As the season winds down to an end, we are finally on our way to finding out who will indeed be ‘The Next Superstar.’ With songs like the above remixes which will be blessing us on the night, we see how West Africa has its work cut out for it as it goes about choosing a winner for the season. All we can say is – that’s a good ‘problem’ to have. See you at the closing gala!
