‘Jano’ speaks about societal ills in Nigeria —Arrel

A Nigerian singer and songwriter, Moses Iribevbe, popularly known as Arrel, has explained that his newly released song will create monumental change in the country.

Arrel noted that the song was composed to speak about the ills in the society and propel government into taking actions that would bring about overall development.

The artiste, who is also a producer, made this call during the official release of his new single entitled Jano, held recently in Lagos.

“The Song- ‘Jano’ is in consonance with what is happening in the country specifically and the world in general.

“I like talking about the ills in the society, be it marriage, politics, insecurity and the like because I believe that an artiste should be a voice to the voiceless, speak truth to power and consequently effect changes that would warrant development in the country.

“I grew up listening to artistes like Fela Anikulapo and others who were social crusaders ensuring the right things were put in place” Arrel said.

Meanwhile, Moses commended the ace artiste, Mr. Adeleke David, popularly known as Davido for constantly supporting the younger talents to thrive in the music industry.

He urged other artistes to take a leaf from the book of David’s efforts at lifting upcoming acts as a way of giving back to the society.
