SHOPE IGNITES 2020 WITH MOODY SINGLE, "NEED SOMEONE"

TORONTO, CANADA- February 5, 2020 - The desire to love and be loved in return is a universal human experience. Whether familial or romantic, a need for relational connection is hardwired into our DNA. So after an incredible 2019, it’s only fitting that Shopé ignite his 2020 with the universal message of “Need Someone”. The singer/songwriter says, 

“Need Someone came out of a time when my wife and I weren’t seeing eye-to-eye on a number of things...it’s easy to say you’ll never go to bed angry, but some things take time to figure out. So you do go to bed with lingering issues...those are very lonely moments...”

Moody and very R&B-esque, the song is still not a sonic departure from the Afrofusion sound, that has become synonymous with the burgeoning Nigerian-Canadian talent, and with his proven emotive pen, “Need Someone” wonderfully echoes a basic human sentiment, ensuring the song to be a hit across all audience types.The single will be available EVERYWHERE music retails online!DJs & Radio Stations can download packs HERE

 

About Shopé

winner was originally born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, but would later immigrate with his family to Toronto, Canada at the age of 11. No stranger to the classic immigrant struggle, the Nigerian-Canadian's personal and musical narratives weave a tale of poverty, determination, love, and faith. His sound is best described as Afrofusion, as it skillfully blends elements of Afrobeats, Hip Hop and R&B, to create a sonic palette that is honest, and vulnerable, yet bold and confident, all the while remaining danceable. Shope masterfully bridges western and African cultures. That is perhaps why his work has resonated with so many, to the tune of 3M+ streams. Shopé’s performance credits span premier festivals like SXSW (Austin), CMW (Toronto), A3C (Atlanta), showcasing alongside artists like; Tory Lanez, Jazz Cartier, Tyler Shaw, Lecrae and Andy Mineo, just to name a few. Additionally his robust touring schedule has taken him across Canada, the United States, Europe and Africa. Beyond the music, Shope's commitment to growth and human flouring evidences as a passion for education as a means of empowerment. All of his unique contributions to art & education are what set him apart as a “one-to-watch” international artist hailing from Africa’s metropolis, Lagos, and Toronto’s burgeoning class of up and coming artists and social innovators.
