Hello Afri-tunes community!
It's still a new week and Merit is here once to share an African tune, I'm always happy to be able to share African music every week, it's been a while since my last entry though, pardon me and welcome this entry hehe.

So for this week, I decided to do the cover of the song "American Love", a song sang by Qing Madi, a young female Nigerian artist.
A Nigerian song about giving assurance in love, it's actually surprising that it is coming from a girl lol. In my part of the world, ladies wants guys saying these words to them and not the other way round but this song seem to prove that point wrong, it can come from any gender and it's admirable.
I've had it on repeat a lot of times and it just seem to be fresh in my head over and over again. Finally got to sing a cover of it and I'm glad I did. Do let me know what you think about the song lyrics, they were actually what caught my attention to the song.
I hope you do enjoy my cover of the song as much as I did, and I look forward to sharing more African music. Special thanks to my supporters, those giving me corrections which helps to make my videos come out better and thanks for viewing!!!
Song Lyrics
Travelled 'round the world, I no cast
But if I climb the train, e don pass you
Traveled 'round the world, now I found you
And if I catch the plane, e don catch
And I hope you gon' fly away today, ajé
Yeah, I hope you gon' fly away today, ajé
Hmm, but you know say I fly
So no dey reject me, oh, I'm calling
I dey try, but you no dey get me tí bá n kọrin
You go like fly
Allow me to spoil you with my money
You don cover my, cover my head o

All hail your majesty the dragoness of neoxian City 🙌🙌.
If someone told me it was you singing I would have said Nah, you can't have dragon and melody in the same sentence 🤣.
Okay let me be serious, your vocal were spot on, with a mesmerizing control of pitch and intensity. It was 👌 it made my heart do gbisgbis,for a second,just a tiny second
By the way, are you related to Qing Madi ? You look almost alike, just that she is lighter, maybe it my eyes 👀
Haha so you can't even hide your true self for a second, always on my neck 😂
Well, you've seen dragon and melody in same sentence now 🤣
Thanks for the kind feedback.
I'm not related to her but I could be if she will be sending me money 🙃
