Simi Recounts Writing Hit Song ‘Joromi’

Nigerian songstress Simisola has recounted the experience she had writing her 2017 hit song 'Joromi', which she is not a fan of.

In a new interview with CNN, the Afrobeats star said that she was irritated at the time but had to write the song because she was on a deadline. She spoke to CNN about where her inspiration for her music comes from. Shocking, she said sometimes she has none.

She said: “Sometimes I don’t have any inspiration but I have a deadline. I don't really like those, because you know you have to force it to come. And I'm not crazy about those, I've made really great songs from those. 'Joromi' was one of those,” 

She said when she worked on "Joromi" she thought she had finished writing the songs for the album, but the team sent the beat to her and she needed to write a song for it.

She told CNN: “'Joromi' was a deadline song. I was even done. They sent me a beat and I was like I'm done writing,” she said. “I wrote like five different songs on that beat that I didn’t like and then 'Joromi' came but it was like a deadline song,”
