AFRI-TUNES WEEK #71/ EMILIANA BY CKAY/ COVERED BY SLEEMFIT✨

Hello Afri-tunes community, it's week #71 of our weekly contest...I trust we all are doing alright 😉. For this week I have chosen the secular song as suggested in the community for week #71, which is "Emiliana" by Nigerian singer-songwriter and record producer"Ckay" . When I saw the song selection, I was really excited as it's a no brainer for me. Emiliana is a song I really love to perform and it's one of my favourite songs to sing🤩, and I've performed this song twice already in our weekly contests (lol I can never get tired of it) so this is my third cover of this record 😉. I try to make each cover better than the other, adding a new dynamic to my performance. Simply put, I try to make each performance better than the last.

Emiliana is a song about a long-distance relationship.This is a love song that expresses feelings for lovers. Loving someone isn’t just an ordinary feeling, it’s the feeling that comes from your heart which makes you feel happy and gives you that inner joy that comes from the inside, love makes you feel things you have never felt before. A true and sincere love comes from the heart and not your mind. Love is Intentional, it's not always butterflies...you gotta show up for your person even on days you don't feel at your best. You can't treat someone you claim to love according to your mood. Love is deep, Love is powerful in the sense that you'd make sacrifices just to see your person happy, just to hear from your person, be with your person. It's never easy but it's worth it if the energy is reciprocated. Make una no vex ooo, (I'm a preacher of love 😂)...I believe in love, I love love. I love seeing two people genuinely in love with each other and doing so well together. But its not all rosy, you gotta do the work, gotta be intentional. True love exists and I hope we find it, I hope we are genuine as well and not be the people who make others give up on love.

"All because of you, I be on the phone all night long".

I'm sure we can all relate to this, when in love with someone, we don't mind staying on the phone all night long, just to be there for our person and maybe cause we miss them and mightn't have another opportunity to talk with them anytime soon, but all night. I do hope y'all enjoy 🎧 my cover of this beautiful record, see y'all in week #72.
