For Timi Dakolo, Emeli Sande, their fans and the entirety of Nigeria, Christmas has come early and delivered in an ostentatious package of mellifluous and perfectly harmonized vocals, serene vibes from a percussion-driven instrumental and most importantly, a projection of perfect holiday spirits titled Merry Christmas, Darling.
Produced by 16-time Grammy Award winner, Humberto Gatica, and Frederic Gassita, the tranquil mood-inducing single is one of the industry’s first shot at celebrating White Christmas with billowy verses delivered by Timi and Emeli whose synergy is up to par with their intention to make our holiday spirits come alive.
Merry Christmas, Darling also serves as Timi Dakolo’s first Virgin EMI single, the first from his upcoming album in the new record label, and his first international collaboration and perhaps a result of his collaboration with world-renowned A-listers; the single is more than a pedestal for the soul singer who’s been holding out for so long.
