Dapo Torimiro may be an unfamiliar name, but if his current hot streak continues, that won’t be the case for long. The Nigerian-born artist – who’s been compared to Stevie Wonder and Seal as a performer – got his first big break last fall by placing the song “Quickly,” a duet featuring John Legend and Brandy, on Legend’s current album Evolver. On the heels of that release came David Archuleta’s self-titled debut album, featuring Dapo’s “Running.” Brandy’s album Human, released in December, also featured a Torimiro song, “Torn Down.” In additino to working on a solo album and doing film scores (Christmas at Water’s Edge), Torimiro expects to have songs on future releases form Fantasic and Elliott Yamin as well.
John Legend is on tour right now promoting his current album, EVOLVER. Dapo wrote and produced “Quickly” (along with Lonny Breaux and Midi Mafia) which also features Brandy. Check out these live performances.
This video was shot in Las Vegas (uploaded 1/11/09) and is shorter than the second video but is from a closer angle:
Be sure to pick up a copy of Brandy’s HUMAN album which drops on Tuesday, December 9th – just in time for the holidays. I’ve had the opportunity to take an early listen and I have to say that I am very happy that BRANDY IS BACK! She has an incredible voice. I had the honor of being one of the writers/producers on one of the songs on this album: TORN DOWN. There is a leak of this song on the internet and it’s not the version that is on the album. The leaked version is in a lower key and sounds very different than the album version – but they both sound good to me! Brandy’s Back!
