Olaedo Ibe - Golden Skin (Album)
Singer/songwriter/composer OLAEDO IBE gives a glimpse of her triumphs, challenges and her relationship with God in her brand new album, ‘Golden Skin’, released 27th October across various music platforms.
Produced by G-Kid, ‘Golden Skin’ album starts off with vibrant sounds of the Motherland in ‘Royalty’, which sees Olaedo showing gratitude for God’s love and guidance - through the good and bad times. She continues to show her appreciation for the Most High in the previously released soulful ballads, ‘Manifest’ and ‘The Divine Exchange’, where she expressed the desire to build a deeper connection.
The ten-track project also touches on various topics that are close to Olaedo’s heart, such as mental health, healing, practicing forgiveness, self-love and self- worth. She’s not afraid to raise awareness on taboo topics such as colourism and the dangers of skin bleaching with optimism in most recent single, ‘Golden Skin’. Featuring gospel songbird Rae Rae, the encouraging message from ‘Golden Skin’ received a seal of approval from BBC Radio London, Premier Gospel as well as Heartsong radio, Sheffield Live! Susy Radio, Radio Africana, Naija Fm, plus many more. Since its release in August, the title track has gained over 3000 streams and the music video is now a fan favourite. ‘Golden Skin’ is also used to create awareness about the British skin foundation to raise funds for skin research.
Speaking of her latest project, Olaedo says:“Despite life’s ups and downs, I believe it's possible to overcome them and win. I hope Golden Skin uplifts and encourages every listener. I truly believe whatever you were born in God has made a way for you to win.”
