Timi Dakolo | Zikoko!

There’s so much new music being released that it’s hard for even the most loyal fans to wade through the trash to find the gems. That’s why we’ve created #BumpThis – a Friday series that features new songs, by and featuring Nigerians, that you absolutely need to hear.

Timi Dakolo — “Take” ft. Olamide

With all the songs being released now, it’s pretty easy to miss some gems. That was almost the case with Timi Dakolo’s incredible new love song, “Take”, which features Olamide.

On the Pheelz-produced track, Timi sings about giving everything he has to the woman he loves, whom he also credits with making him happier than he’s ever been.

Olamide, who is always a welcome addition to any track, delivers one of his strongest guest verses in a while, helping make the already solid song that much better.

Relationship goals. All over twitter…all over Facebook, we see great photos of couples and just say: Relationship goals. I don’t disagree, I think that the internet knows exactly what the ideal relationship looks like, tbh.

So let’s learn. This time from Timi Dakolo and his wife, Busola Dakolo’s Instagram pages. They have the most natural looking love I’ve ever seen. From time to time, I just go through their Instagram to motivate myself. They make it look sooo easy. His instagram page is chock full of his wife’s pictures, so there’s no mistaking how important she is to him:

When he called her his tomorrow and forever
