Song of the Week: Timzil – Owo Loke
This song rode on the success of Timzil’s “Bachelor for Life” single. It was released on the 19th of October 2017, celebrating success – the reward for hard work, a friendship that has become better through time, and dreams that ended up real.
Ọwọ́ Lókè, which literally translates “Hands in the air” is simply “an anthem for friendship and good tidings”
