The label that brought us, Won Beri, the Street Scriptures Vol.1, DjKlem, Phenom and Mo’Cheddah, Knighthouse Entertainment is pleased to unveil their latest addition to the KH family, African soul fusion singer, Iye.
She was first noticed when she featured on DjKlem’s 2010 EP, Six8Ten, where she brought the song ‘Laiye’ to life and made a repeat appearance on his 2011 AfroFunkyDiscoSoul EP alongside Teeto on the track ‘Footprints’ and its video which we posted a while back.
Here are her first studio efforts, two songs, Nothing and Hello. Both tracks were produced by the uber talented DjKlem.
Watch out for brand new singles and videos from her in 2012.

Amazing!! amazing!!!
Nice one Knighthouse..
Iye you just won a fan..
voice !!!! correct one
Beautuful rendition…really like dat IYE track… Fat Thumbs up!
…Knighthouse, didn't it occur to you that most ppl dwell on the artwork as they are listen to the song?
From an artistic point of view, neither does it flatter the artist nor complement the overall musical experience. In other words its jarring and in poor taste. sowie but its true!!!
ma broda na de same art work first discourage me frm opening the link sharp sharp o…
but the songs maketh sense…thank God.
Wow
Wow!! This is truly great music. I believe Knighthouse has done it again. Kudos to DjKlem for fantastic beats. Iye, u are def goin places
The songs are beautiful.. And as far as the art is concerned it stands out. Not generic jare. Iye nice one
Wow! Fresh music from fresh talent. Is this by dj klem?
Omo dis girl get winsh voice. Nice production and all.
The nothing not my kind of music.. But the hello is awesome. I dig!
egbe ni….na curse
This is amazing music! I always thot knighthouse was just a manufactured pop or hip-hop label but this is simply beautiful. She has such depth; I'm already a fan
Wonderful stuff. Thumbs up to Knighthouse
I dnt often comment on this site. Hardly comment but I just have to do this one.
I love Iye. Ever since I listened to her on DjKlem's AfroFunkyDiscoSoul EP, I've been expecting more from her. Firstly I'm glad that are management are reading the comments.
I'm glad that they changed the previous artwork. It wasn't appealing at all but this new artwork is just a tad bit better than the previous one. Just because Iye is more soulful and isn't so mainstream doesn't mean she has to be portrayed with gloomy artwork. This new artwork is too gloomy. Grey everywhere. Her expression is already strong enough. There should have been some colours in the background to uplift audience or listeners a bit. You have to realise people's mood and emotions connect with colour and a lot of other things. All the grey is just so gloomy. Moreover she has another single that is uplifting so why is her artwork so gloomy. Presentation and image is everything.
Ok back to her songs. Nothing is very powerful and strong but I wish she didn't use the term "egbe". It's a very powerful word in Yoruba. It's like saying "woe unto". It completely put me off that song because I cannot imagine myself singing along with it. that's a curse.
The second song shows that Iye can balance her strength which is her style and mainstream genre.
Please, please, please Knighthouse, don't change her style and don't try to turn her into what she isn't just to make her sell. Help her to grow and also balance her style and her connection with broader audience.
Why the babe rugged for appearance and her music come smooth and sweet die ?
Nice delivery, loving it..
Amazing stuff! KH has proven again that they've got eyes for unique talent. As far as the art goes, it brings a beautiful contrast to the music, which makes it even more striking.
Make sense

Some people still care about what they put out, not just all these quickies in the studio

Omo, this one pass music, e be like say she dey chant some yoruba magic! I love her voice! She is so fresh and deep! I thought she won't do better than "Laiye". She is awesome! Knighhouse, this is super!
That… Is… My… Girl… Proud to say I know her. Awesome stuff, as usual.

NICE ONE IYE!!!
AH-MAY-ZING!!! I'm already in love with Iye and her sound.
*O.O*
As a follower of Iye down the years, i can understand what the artwork was all about (L.A.S.T.M.A Killa) , the contrast. Its more in tune with the Nothing song… but quite strong from an artistic point of view. Not all Pix should be swagger / colourful and things… lets present Art…
The songs them selves from Laiye / Nothing / Hello…. marvelous… you should see her on the Footprints video also available on NJO.. you would see the colourful side to her…. @msiye we firmly support your style and talent…. you are going places….
You didn't see the original pic…it was changed after my comment meaning the artist and Knighthouse concur…nothing to do with colour/swagger.
Iye… Iye… Iye…. What more can I say? God has given you a gift and i must admit that you are a bundle of talent… Keep the songs rolling… and I'll be your NO.1 fan… *cheers*
lovely jams…
