0Nigerian sensation Timi Dakolo releases his debut album, Merry Christmas, Darling. Already celebrated in his native country, Dakolo has been described by multiple Grammy-winning producer Humberto Gatica (Michael Buble, Michael Jackson, Celine Dion), who co-produced the album, as “the golden voice of Africa.”
The album is Dakolo’s heartfelt collection of soulful Christmas ballads, recorded in part at Abbey Road Studios in London and accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra. Two years in the making, the collection was additionally recorded in Libreville, Budapest, Lagos and Los Angeles.
Producer Gatica and the award-winning jazz composer Frederic Michel Gassita teamed up for the album with executive producers Efe Ogbeni and Mr. Ali Bongo Ondimba, the latter acknowledged as the man with the vision for the project.
“Recording this album one of the greatest experiences of my life. It was like a dream I didn’t want to wake up from.”
