Christy Essien
Give Me A Chance
Dubbed Nigeria's ''First Lady Of Song'', Christy produced a respectable 9 studio albums across a number of labels. Her fifth album ''Give Me A Chance'' was released in 1980 by Afrodisia, and is being officially reissued again by the prolific Nigerian label. ''Give Me A Chance'' showcases an impressive move on from her last album with a nice amount of variety. Her classic funky disco sound is most evident in what is her most notable song on the album ''Rumours''. This much sought after disco number is joined by a couple more disco grooves such as ''Nobody Can Stop You'' and ''Onwu''. ''Ife'' meaning love inflicts a little bit of reggae into the mix while the remaining tracks (''Saboteurs'', ''Don't Let Me Down'', ''Ikan Idomo'' and title track ''Give Me A Chance'') take more of a traditional afrobeat - meets ballad approach.
