“I can only work with Asa” – Singer Brymo

Brymo talks about collaboration with Asa

In an interview with BBC Yoruba, singer Brymo discussed reason he didn’t feature anybody in his new album. He mentioned of wanting to collaborate with Asa because they share ideas. He said:

“I have spoken to Asa’s handlers. What remains is to set it up.She is the one person who I can collaborate. What she talks about — love, social issues, everyday issues — are things that matter to me. I had important things to talk about. It is hard to bring someone who doesn’t know my thought process to collaborate on such a song.Many of my colleagues collaborate because of positioning. There is so much politics involved in collaboration so I chose to sing alone. I have collaborated in the past but I was not satisfied with the outcome.”

When asked about why he decide to go  nude for his latest video, the singer replied:

“The video is for people to see that were backward and need to change. I was not happy that people said I did something wrong. It means people have forgotten where we came from. I am a bush man, still living in a world made possible by the West. I, like other Africans, are just existing and not responsible for technological advancements and innovations.We have not contributed to the world. We don’t solve problems or create solutions.” On recording thought-provoking songs, Brymo said he believes that “if everyone thinks In Nigeria, the country will be better”.
