If these two songs aren't the best vocal performances in Nigeria right now, I don't know what other one is.  Both songs got executed with that perfectionist touch that'll make you wonder whether these two are actually from this planet.

This is battle for the Nigerian King of Soul. Going on the head-to-head level based on these two songs, these two are actually each other's competition even if it doesn't seem so at the moment.

These two songs have the same theme- going to the big life in the city. So it's in line that the Cobhams-produced WISH ME WELL erupts comparison with the two time Grammy award winning Soweto Choir-assisted "PRAY FOR ME"

Timi Dakolo had already showed us why he is Nigeria's King of Soul and Nigeria's finest tenor on his previous hits like "Iyawo Mi" and "Great Nation". So when legendary producer Cobhams Asuquo at his best, hooks up with Timi in fine Form, what we get is the beautiful hustler anthem "Wish me Well". This single off his forthcoming album, "Love and Consequences" is making the right waves and hit the right notes. I don't know if am delusional or this song actually deserves a Grammy award nomination.

However, the more recently released Darey's effort alongside Grammy winning South African group Soweto Choir titled "Pray for Me" is giving Timi Dakolo a run for his money and rightly so. The song centered around the same hustler theme is off his "Naked" album. The mid tempo Afro-Soul shows off Darey's vocal strengths while also reminding us that as far as R&B goes in Nigeria, only a very scarce few do it as good as he does. The song tells a story, a story of a hero at that in a manner that evoke emotions.

These songs are both perfectly done and deserve any credit they get.

Gun to the head, if we are to pick one of this two.... It will be... BOTH!!!

After reading this thread last night, I went to download the two songs, and they've both made me crazy! Like you said, Both songs got executed with that perfectionist touch.

The vid of wish me well.. Is the best vid a nigerian artiste has produced by my standards..

Melody of pray for me was so good i had to do a cover.. Got enlisted as the top ten finalist.. But was knocked out by some fantastic singers like temmie owvasa

Any artiste than can perform live is worth hearing..

Issoki

Both are good singers I respect. Ant they are both fathers and family men.

Pray me for me... Gbadura funmi, pray I find my way ko ri ba mi shey...


Dope song with good instrumentals!

Dakolo, wish me well is something else

None

NONE

Timi Dakolo make sense
