How I Got Inspired To Write ‘Somebody Great’ – Korede Bello

Mavin Records star, Korede Bello released his follow up single, ‘Somebody Great’ about a week ago and the song has since gathered massive air play and acceptance for the messages inherent in it.  

The singer in a recent chat with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), revealed how he got inspired to write such a message laden track. Insisting that he wrote the song to inspire people to visualize success in their inner mind and strife hard toward attaining it.
The song that features legendary female singer, Asa preaches hardwork, dedication and God’s favour to move from the state of ordinary to extra ordinary a strong follow up to his hit ‘Godwin’ which was also fans favourite.

According to Korede, “It’s about the people, how we were born into this world and we don’t know how the journey will go and how one love will take us from nobody to somebody. How I one day hoped that my voice would unite people and stop bombing and fighting and tribulations. That my voice would command authority; it’s not just me, it’s about alleviating people from oppression and mental poverty.

You can be somebody great from nobody to somebody, you can be anything you want to be: have love for God, love for people, one love.”
He further spoke about the wave making song,
“But also one of the reasons why I wrote that song is for people to see themselves as great. Because before you can be somebody great, you need to first see it in your mind and you need to prophesy it to yourself, you need to say it to yourself.

And I guess, those are one of the privileges of being a musician because you can put things out there in a melodic form that can change people’s lives forever.
The song is more like a prophesy for everybody that listens to it to be able to command authority; command respect and most of all, have mental wealth.’’
The singer finally spoke on how the song relate to him personally maintaining that he became what he is today out of nothing.
