TRACK 1
Ayo – Play Boy
(Nigeria / Germany)
Lyrics by Joy Ogunmakin Music by Joy Ogunmakin and Eric P. Badié
PlayUp preview - listen to Ayo:
What women always wanted to know about football, you can hear in Ayo’s song. Ayo is a Paris based singer-songwriter of German/Nigerian heritage and she has recently released her debut album “Joyful” with Polydor/Universal France. She entered the french album charts at Number 7.
„I have played football a lot in my childhood, I used to be like a tomboy. I love football – because to me football is a language everybody speaks and understands, just like music. But if footballers looked more like basketball players, I would watch football 24/7.”
Ayo

Badié: guitar

Produced by Badié and Ayo Recorded and mixed by Ayo Music Studio, Brüggen/Germany and by Badié at Jungleman Studio Paris/France

Written: July 27th, 2006 at 8:43 am ⇒ EditYour music is a way to release the mind, and it feels so good to hear your music at that time….
It’s so pure and diferent, original and so sweet….
it reaally comes from inside…
As you don’t lie, it works..
People nowadays really need to face the truth, understand where they come from, why they’re here…..
some answers can be found in your music and patrice’s also…
congratulation for both, you were meant to be…
Thanks so much Ayo ; Joyful ’s the best cd I’ve ever heard so far! Keep up the good work! I hope there will be a new one soon. You’re a very talented person. Pascale

You’ve got such an amazing voice… I’ve been listening to Down on my knees(SemiAcousticversion), and it’s such a fantastic sound. Unfortunately it’s the only tune i’ve got of yours, but i’ll be keeping an eye out for more… Keep up the good work… You got the voice of an Angel…
Best of Luck and Best Wishes…
A new fan…
