KIKI CELINE LEARNS FROM OLD LOVE ON NEW SONG
Love being the greatest emotion has never been an overstatement. However, when talking about what it means to love and be loved, we often forget that sometimes the way someone loves us can change. When that happens, we are left with nothing but the memories of how we were loved by that person.
Audio link:Â https://
On her first single of the year 2024, Ghanaian singer KiKi Celine continues her beautiful run from 2023 as she pours out her heart and emotions on her new song titled âOld Love.”
The song cements Celineâs position as one of the best vocalists around and puts her songwriting abilities on full display. The song is reminiscent of early 2000s R&B classics we grew up on, with KiKi Celineâs bounce. Produced by Insvne Auggie, the song takes listeners on a journey of love gone wrong, pain, and reliving the few good times spent with a significant other.
Â
If Celineâs writing or vocals were ever in doubt, âOld Loveâ will clear any doubts there are about the singerâs artistry. With a burgeoning R&B scene in Ghana and West and East Africa, Celine enters the conversation with this record. The melodies, delivery, and overall storytelling are remarkable and are sure to leave listeners in their “feels.”
Love teaches us a lot about others and ourselves that we do not know until we experience being loved by them. The song is an appreciation of how it feels to be loved while calling out people who introduce you to an experience they can never keep up with. When all is said and done, we will need more than just flowers and a touch of old love.
Â
R&B music is alive, and KiKi Celine is determined to be one of the names synonymous with the genre whenever conversations about the genre come up.
Stream âOld Love” now on all platforms.

Victony Tells Apple Music What Inspired His New Album, âStubbornâÂ
Looking back at everything Iâve been through – my come-up story and how Iâve defied the odds. Iâve stayed true to myself and kept my eyes on the goal all along. Nothing else has influenced by decisions.
Victony Tells Apple Music About His Career Trajectory So Far
Sometimes I look back and Iâm like âDamn, youâve really come a long way.â Going from the era of doing covers to my first EP. At the time I released my first EP, it felt like I blew. Then âHoly Fatherâ came and I blew again. Then the âOutlawâ EP came and I blew up even more. And now itâs âStubborn.â It definitely feels like I have three lives in such a short span, but overall Iâm very excited for everything thatâs to come.
Victony Tells Apple Music about the Visuals for âStubbornâÂ
It was definitely intentional. Once you see a knight, you know itâs war. Metaphorically, I feel like to get to this point, Iâve fought so many battles. Especially being in Nigeria, coming from where Iâm coming from. I was born in Lagos; Iâve lived here all my life. Iâll tell you for free, itâs not the most inspiring or encouraging for any career path that you choose. Healing through all that, and being able to make it here as an artist, and having the opportunity to now inspire people. It was definitely intentional that I came up with the look and it just felt very organic to put the coif on and to demonstrate my artistry.
Victony Tells Apple Music About His Song, âAnitaâ
âAnita” is actually one of my favourite songs. Shout out to [the producer] P2JâI feel like P2J gave me masterclass production on that one. And I had to come through with my own delivery as well. Itâs a really special record. We made it in London. I had a couple of sessions with P2J. We made an EP in a night. We made five songs and âAnita” was one of them. It was a really crazy experience. I cannot forget that night.
Victony Tells Apple Music About Working With KTIZO
âOshaprapraâ kind of embodies what the album is about. Thatâs a really special record. It was produced by KTIZO, who made âJoleneâ on the âOutlaw’ EP. Thatâs a producer that I work with and they get me for real. Most of the songs that embody the theme of the album, I worked on with KTIZO. Their studio is a ten-minute drive from my house, so every time Iâm really thinking about life and the only way to express it is through my music. I just drive to the studio and be like âHoudini, letâs make something happen.
Victony Tells Apple Music About Working With SAINt JHN
SAINt JHN is in my top five artists of all time. Heâs someone I really look up to so you can imagine how much that session meant to me. Being in the same room as SAINt JHN and watching him create, learning from him. That was a very interesting record.
Victony Tells Apple Music About Exploring Different Musical Styles on âStubbornâÂ
I wanted my fans to get a feel of all sides of Victony on this album. This is my debut album and my first opportunity for me to introduce myself to my fans properly. Let them know what Iâm capable of. A lot of people joined the train around the time that I released the Outlaw EP. A small percentage of my fans know me from the âSMSâ time into the âSaturn’ EP. This is where I like to introduce myself and say, âThis is Victony.â
Victony Tells Apple Music About How His Creative Versatility Impacts His Music
Even outside music, I just love to try out different things. At some point I was in a dance group. At some point I tried acting. Even with some of the teasers I put out, I do acting here and there. So I try to incorporate that in my music as well, so I listen to all kinds of music. Fuse elements from different genres and try to make something beautiful. Thatâs something I really did during the process of making this album. I was in the learning phase and I just tried to apply all that I have learned.
