Slam poetry, rap battles, singing, song writing and drumming. The hit album Say Yes by Iyeoka is now being released as a high quality vinyl version (180g) in gatefold. The YouTube hit Simply Falling received over 216 Million clicks.

Iyeoka (read: ee-yo-kah) is well versed in many expressive arts, but in essence she is a storyteller and poet. “My goal is very simple”, says the US Nigerian American, “I want to move the world, one poem at a time”. She does this enchantingly well with her album “Say Yes (R)evolved“. In poems set to music Iyeoka Ivie Okoawo (her full name) reveals herself to be a strong, self-confident woman of the modern world. She tells tales of love and relationships in the 21st century and philosophizes about the daily struggle of life and being a woman in a post-feminist world digging deeply and personally into her African roots.

Musically Iyeoka handles expertly a wide variety of styles from electronic soul “Break Down Mode” to technofied R’n’B “Broken Hearts Anthem (Walk Away)”, from energetic dance inducing grooves “The Yellow Brick Road Song“, to a more jazzy “Happily Ever After“, from melodic soft rock “Say Yes“, to pop “Soundtrack to Life” and reggae “Testify“. She certainly has presence and shines out with a silky smooth elegance reminiscent of Sade “This Time around“, “Simply Falling“. This woman has real all-round talent, and she knows how to use it!
