Nnena shares with her new single “Dayedreaming” via Loud Robot/RCA Records – listen HERE. Sampling the Queen Of Soul, Aretha Franklin, Nnena re-imagines the hit and offers a new modern soul twist with the help of producer Foster Foster. This follows Nnena’s previous single “Pussy Makes The World Go Round (PMTWGR)” ft. Ncognita and K.T. – listen HERE. Heavy on soul grooves courtesy of producer Ben Oyortey Jr, the song is confident and fun, using witty rhymes to address that PMTWGR. Last week, fans were treated to a sold-out performance from Nnena at the legendary Gold Diggers stage in Los Angeles, CA.
The event was made extra special for fans as Nnena teased new songs that she’s been recording at the Gold Diggers studio. Last year, Nnena was featured on Insecure: Music From The HBO Original Series, Season 5 soundtrack with her memorable single “Fun,” which is currently the second highest streamed track on the album on Spotify. This week Nnena had her late night television debut performing the track on The Late Late Show with James Corden � watch it HERE. An incredible writer, lyricist, rapper and vocalist, bursting with effusive energy and a massive personality, the Cleveland native, born Nnena Adigwe to Nigerian parents, credits some of her robust, descriptive storytelling impulses to her past screenwriting experience.
Nnena began writing comedic sketches during college and that soon led to working on more full-fledged projects�the kinds of works that needed sound tracking. Rather than pay licensing fees, she tried her hand at making her own music. Her music reflects her eclectic influences ranging from Otis Redding to Millie Jackson, from Queen Latifah to Miriam Makeba to Kendrick Lamar and especially “Lauryn Hill, she molded me the most,” along with other neo-soul genre artists Musiq Soulchild and Jill Scott, as well from Drake, J. Cole, to Tiwa Savage. Nnena is currently working on her debut album; stay tuned for more music coming soon.
