“Shuku Shaker, Aya Shoemaker”
You would understand the magnitude of that line when you are in a club and the DJ stops the record just at that spot to urge you to participate and scream out your lungs. That’s how much Davido’s ‘FIA’ became a huge record.
It isn’t just a personal story mined from the depths of pain and loss, it’s a mega, super hit record which probably dominated the country better than his earlier one ‘If’. There’s nowhere in this country where there is a celebration, and you won’t find people telling Caroline to “save your drama” and exclude them from her soap opera.
As a follow-up to the record, we had an interview with
the producer, Fresh VDM, who has seen his stock rise considerably since scoring that hit record. And he did confirm that prior to the release of ‘FIA’, they had recorded a few other songs, which he thought would become hits. But they weren’t released.
“There was another record I had placed my bet on would be the banger earlier scheduled for a December release but then we make FIA and that was it. It just had to be released in November," he said.
