Nigerian comedian, Basketmouth has revealed information about his upcoming album titled ‘Horoscopes’.
The album which has nine tracks will be officially released on February 11, featuring 2Baba, illbliss, Cavemen, Johnny Drille, and Blackbonez.
Basketmouth made this revelation during his album listening party on Sunday.
According to him, he said he is back to his first love, music stating that “Back then, I started with music, I never really left it. I just took a pause and now I’m back on it but it does not affect any other thing that I’m doing because they all complement each other.”
“Right now, I’m creating content like ‘Flatmate’, ‘Baba Benji’, ‘Ghana Jollof’, and all these contents require soundtracks. So, in the process of making a soundtrack, I made music.
“I’m a standup comedian, I’m still doing it. I’m making everything in one unit but people see it as several units but the truth is, the soundtrack compliment the movies.”
Speaking about what inspired the title of his album, he said it comes naturally.
“I don’t force it out. it comes like ‘Yabasi’. Even though I have a movie titled ‘Scorpio’, I decided not to name this music album the same as it would resist the album to just Scorpio zodiac sign.”
“So, I was like why not make it ‘Horoscope’ so that you can get more.
“As an Igbo man, I love highlife music and that was I made Yabasi but ‘Horoscope’ is a combination of different genres of music.”
He also talked about his upcoming show-themed Basketmouth Concert which is schedule to hold on September after his London tour.
The comedian added that the concert will end in Lagos, Nigeria.
‘Horoscope’ comes after the success of ‘Yabasi’ album he released in 2020.
The album is also coming four months after he signed a music deal with Empire, a US-based record label.
