Nigerian actress Adesua Etomi-Wellington has taken the bold step towards pursuing her passion for music with her new single, ‘So Natural.’
The track was produced by Cobhams Asuquo and written by her musician husband, Olubankole Wellington, popularly known as Banky W.
Reality star Bisola Aiyeola and actress Jemima Osunde made cameo appearances while Banky W worked behind the scene.
While she has previously featured on her husband’s music videos, ‘Made for you,’ ‘Final Say,’ and most recently ‘Jo,’ this is the first time she would go solo, music-wise.
The 33-years-old actress, whose stage name is Susu, took to her Instagram page to share the news of the release of the new song.
The mother-of-one had caught the attention of many after she starred in the blockbuster movie “Wedding Party” (2017).
The song is an ode to the love she shares with her husband.
On the other hand, the lyrics show that the love she shares with her husband is natural and magical.
The song is a cross between a mid-tempo RnB and reggae.
