Video Premiere: J. Martins – Iva

Posted on March 4th, 2010 by Ovie O

Uncle Jay Martins has put out another video for a previously-posted single off his “Elevated” album titled “Iva”; a high-life song, which also samples a couple of old-school hits including the Ifeoma instrumentals.

There’s something about Jay Martins that just sets him apart from most of the other modern Nigerian artistes. He has that vintage presence and veteranish charisma. No gra-gra at all! Not to mention the “sweetness” of all his songs. A cool and jandish video, in my opinion. What’s yours?

Director: GINI (Same guy who did “Pon Pon Pon”).

Posted on November 9th, 2009 by Ovie O

Singer/Super-producer, Jay Martins, has released his sophomore album titled “Elevated” and it’s currently doing well in the local market.

The 10-track album (not counting the instrumentals) was co-written by Bracket, P-Square and J. Martins, and all the songs were produced by J. Martins himself. The featured artistes include Bracket, Jesse Jagz, Vector, Illbliss, Waje, and an international act, Wyre (from Kenya). It also features the only released single till date… Oyoyo!

Official Release Date: November 2nd, 2009!

Personal Verdict: 8/10. Definitely shelf-worthy.
