As the world celebrated Africa Day, one of the continent’s biggest music stars WANDE COAL shared visuals for his smash hit single, “Again.” The video was shot by Nigerian director Adasa Cookey in Lagos just days before Africa’s most populous city shut down for quarantine.
“Again” has been one of 2020’s most streamed afropop tracks, remaining inside the Top 10 of Apple Music’s Nigeria chart every day since February, when it had its world premiere with Ebro on Beats 1. The romantic and atmospheric tune, produced by Melvitto and Screwface, is the third single from Wande’s upcoming REALMS EP, following “Vex” and “Ode Lo Like.”

Our digital music station, Maria Jackson Radio, has been offline for the past week and a half. The reason for this is that we are currently working on switching hosting company so that we will have more control over the way our content is presented.
We have received several concerns from our loyal listeners, so much so that it became necessary to release an official press release on the matter.
Based on the information from our tech support team the station should be back up and running on Monday, June 1st. As we will undoubtedly have a new web address, another PR will be sent out at that time to update the public.
I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone that reached out to us and expressed their genuine love and appreciation for the station and the playlist, that we carefully put together each week.
A few days ago R&B star Anthony Hamilton released his new single titled “Back Together.” The love song features legendary singer / songwriter Rick James, with production credits going to 9th Wonder.
