Johnny Drille – Awww (Cover)


Johnny Drille debuts on Notjustok.com with an amazing cover of Mavin Record‘s Di’jaAwww. All I can say is WOW!

“Producer and singer-songwriter, John Ighodaro popularly known as Johnny Drille starts off the new year by giving Di’ja‘s latest single “Awww” his personal twist. According to the MTN Project Fame alumnus: “I think Di’ja‘s Awww is a really beautiful song, we don’t get to hear songs like that very often and so I couldn’t wait to make a cover of it. Big shout out to Di’ja and Don Jazzy for such an amazing song”

As a part of his project which he calls #JohnnyCoversNaija, the self produced cover is a stripped down alternative version with Johnny introducing his own verse as well as singing Di’ja‘s own verses, blending his lush in-your-face vocals with his really crisp and warmly re-produced instrumental.”

Enjoy!

  1. Awwwww … This Johnny cover seems a little better than the original. Kudos man. But most importantly God bless D'ija the Diva, and Don Jazzy

  2. My good Lawd! This is amazing! Who is this guy?! He took a beautiful song and made it even more international. Like… who does that?!

    I just became a Johnny Drille fan. I'm making sure Jazzy hears this, if he hasn't already. By fire, by force. WOW!

    *O.O*

  3. Well I like Dija's Awww but her Verse was dead tbh.. But to the 'Nigerian' market they need only the chorus to get you going and that's what she did there.
    **westernised by default**

    Ps : this definitely sounds better

  4. This guy sabi work!!! Nigerian RnB has been looking good the past couple of years. Just need all these artists releasing singles like this to drop albums along the same grain.

  5. I totally enjjoyed every second of the cover. Its so so nice and cool. I would so love to hear more songs from him. Any one kno of of any more of his songs?

  6. I think I'm in love…. WOW!!!! C voice, C jam… Guy, your talented. May 2015 be your year of overflowing success.

  7. I like Mystro's cover (Yung-L's cover is totally out of it lol) but Johnny Drille's cover sounds very warm and more pleasing and soothing.. I love me some acoustic music. Great job man! I got my eyes on you now.

  8. How come i'm just seeing this now? Like mhen, this is lovely and beautiful. i first heard it on the Beat FM Lagos yesterday. God bless u Drille

  9. He hits the notes so seamlessly and effortlessly….Production is on point. Nothing better than a good vocalist backed up with an awesome production! Music Prodigy !! Good Job Mr. Drille, I have my eyes and ears on you!

  10. OMG! Johnny Drille my man… you nailed it. I got to know your songs through Core TV Lagos. Your first song I got to listened to was ''wait for me''. I must confess it placed me in emotional and romantic. Keep doing the good work …
