Praiz
RnB artist Praiz is out
with a new album that has quite a number of love songs on it so it is
natural that he gets asked questions about love a lot.
In an interview with Encomium magazine, Praiz talks about the work that went into his new album, collaborations, inspirations and more.
He also sheds a little light on his relationship status and his thoughts on relationships.
Read excerpts from his interview below:
On his new album: The
idea behind the album Rich and Famous is the songs on the Rich album
which are the songs people know me for – the R ‘n’ B tunes, which is
more Praiz; while on Famous are the pop, up tempo dance songs, you know
we Africans like to dance. So, the idea is instead of just one album
with a mixture of both kinds of tunes which would sound really
confusing, we went with this. Also, Nigerian awards shows don’t have a
category for best R ‘n’ B album, it is usually best pop/R ‘n’ B album,
so I had to do the two.
On collaborations: My
album is quite an interesting one. I had the likes of Patoranking,
Wizkid, Sound Sultan, Bez, Chidinma (Miss Kedike), Wanda Baluyi from
South Africa, my younger brother, King. I also have Sammy, who’s signed
to X3M Music.
On his next plans:
After this album, I’ll be having a concert early next year. After that
I’ll be on tour. I’ll be touring the UK, the United States, East Africa,
Cape Town and Johannesburg (South Africa). Right away, I’m actually
going to start off the next album, but I won’t be in a rush. I really
need to rest because at some point I had creativity block which is not
good.
On his relationship status: At the moment, no. I’m not in any relationship.
On relationships: You
don’t just rush into relationships. I see relationships like marriage;
you don’t just go into relationships because you want to. If it’s a
fling, that’s different! But a relationship, you need to know what is
needed before you go into one, you need to ensure that both of you are
compatible. But I am hopeful.
