Organisers of the annual The Headies have announced a long list of stars working on theme song for this year’s edition of the awards.
Ayo Animashaun, executive producer of the awards said African pop icon 2face Idibia will be teaming up with some of the brightest and young stars including rave of the moment Wizkid, Mo’cheddah, Ice Prince, Waje, and Illbliss to work on the 2011 theme song for the awards which will be produced by fast rising producer Samklef.
Accoring to Animashaun, “In 2009, the theme song, A Prize to Die For was recorded by M.I, Kel and Banky W while Eldee Tha Don produced.
The song was released a week before the Awards and did not have enough time to sink into the public.
This was why we decided to use only the beat in 2010. This year, all hands are on deck to ensure an earlier release which will be followed with the video.
“And with this set of acts, be assured we shall come up with another smash hit that communicates the theme for this year’s event, as well as the key values of our awards.’’
Showbiz Trends gathered that at the ‘theme song’ meeting held recently, all the performing artistes were briefed on the upcoming awards and details of their assignment as related to what the audience should expect from the awards this year.
“I’m privileged to be a part of this theme song and these guys are my friends so we should have fun on this project,†said Ice Prince.
