“She is Amazing…” - Jessie J 

“Adenike’s voice is so smooth and lovely.” - BBC The Voice UK

“… Silky smooth vocals.” - The Mail Online

“… Brings great JOY to my heart.” - Anita Baker

With everybody from The Mail Online, Daily Telegraph and even Anita Baker herself heaping praises on British Nigerian R&B singer and songwriter ADENIKÈ for her rather excellent cover rendition of the 1986 classic, “Sweet Love” on the recent series of BBC’s The Voice UK, the London native debuts a beautiful original song of her own titled “I Stayed” - which is currently receiving support from the likes of MTV UK, SoulCulture, Digital Spy, Huffington Post, SBTV and several online tastemakers - for our listening pleasure.

To be released on June 10, “I Stayed” is a strong and emotive piano-led ballad, accompanied by rousing string arrangements and commanding drum patterns, which sees Adenikè in the form of her life with a pitch perfect vocal performance and songwriting dexterities that are well beyond her years, as she passionately pours out her heart about lost love and heartbreak on this Okiem Warmann-produced record, “I Stayed”. With visuals, beautifully shot and directed by Olan Collardy for Cardy Films, which bring “I Stayed” further to life, Adenikè surely has a future classic on her hands.

Following the disappointment of not progressing on The Voice UK and with the added impetus she gained from the overall experience, Adenikè is quickly picking herself up to begin work on her debut album. If Tom Jones and Jessie J thought they made a mistake by letting Adenikè slip out of their fingers on The Voice UK, imagine how much more regret they must feel about letting her go, with the release of this excellent new single from the London Soul singer.
