In a vibrant burst of musical creativity, US-based Nigerian singer Chioito has unleashed her latest single “Kalo Jaiye”, a festive Afro-pop fusion designed to lift the spirits of Nigerians during the holiday season.
The US-trained lawyer-turned-musician is making waves with her unique musical style, blending pop influences with authentic Nigerian linguistic flair. “Kalo Jaiye”, produced by Okithewizard, follows her previous releases “Hold The Melody” and “Right Here”, showcasing her evolving musical identity.
“I wanted to create something fun to end the year,” Chioito explained. “At the end of the day, we all deserve to have a good time.” The song’s title, which loosely translates to “let’s enjoy” in Nigerian parlance, captures her mission to spread joy through music.
Drawing inspiration from childhood musical icons like Michael Jackson and Shakira, Chioito has developed a vocal style that critics have compared to Rihanna’s. Her approach to music goes beyond traditional clubbing narratives, emphasizing that ‘kalo jaiye’ can mean different things to different people – from a quick office smoke break to a moment of personal celebration.
The single, now available on major streaming platforms, represents more than just a holiday track. It’s a cultural expression that bridges professional complexity with musical spontaneity, reflecting Chioito’s multifaceted persona as a lawyer, singer and proud Nigerian.
As the year draws to a close, “Kalo Jaiye” promises to be the soundtrack for Nigerians seeking a musical escape and a moment of pure, unadulterated joy.
