Englishman in new york nigerian cover song
What an interesting combination!
Here's a potential Nigerian cover of "Englishman in New York" by Sting, with a Nigerian twist:
Title: "Nigerian in Lagos"
Artist: Wizkid (or another popular Nigerian artist like Davido, Tiwa Savage, or Burna Boy)
Genre: Afrobeats, Pop
Lyrics:
Verse 1: I'm a Nigerian in Lagos, feeling so alive The energy's electric, the vibes are right I'm dancing to the beat, got my agbada on tight I'm living life to the fullest, day and night
Chorus: I'm an Englishman in New York, no, no, no I'm a Nigerian in Lagos, oh, oh, oh I'm a stranger in a strange land, but I'm feeling so grand I'm a Nigerian in Lagos, with my Afrobeat band
Verse 2: I'm sipping on a Star, got my jollof rice on the plate I'm talking to my friends, about the latest Nollywood state I'm feeling the rhythm, got my dancing shoes on tight I'm living life like there's no tomorrow, day and night
Chorus: I'm an Englishman in New York, no, no, no I'm a Nigerian in Lagos, oh, oh, oh I'm a stranger in a strange land, but I'm feeling so grand I'm a Nigerian in Lagos, with my Afrobeat band
Bridge: From the streets of Surulere to the markets of Balogun From the clubs of Victoria Island to the beaches of Lekki I'm a Nigerian in Lagos, and I'm feeling so proud I'm a Nigerian in Lagos, and I'm wearing my crown
Chorus: I'm an Englishman in New York, no, no, no I'm a Nigerian in Lagos, oh, oh, oh I'm a stranger in a strange land, but I'm feeling so grand I'm a Nigerian in Lagos, with my Afrobeat band
Production:
- Instrumentation: A mix of traditional Nigerian instruments like the talking drum, shekere, and agogo bells, with modern Afrobeats elements like synthesizers, bass, and drums.
- Tempo: Moderate, around 100-110 BPM.
- Melody: Catchy, with a focus on the hook and chorus.
- Vocals: Wizkid's smooth, soulful voice would be a great fit for this song.
This is just one possible interpretation, but I hope it gives you an idea of what a Nigerian cover of "Englishman in New York" could sound like!
