This mini compilation selects the stand out cuts from Ayo Manuel’s two albums Love Candidate and Party Time, showcasing the evolution of Ayo’s music. Side A is led by Song Of Love (Instrumental) - mid-tempo, synth-heavy, toeing the line between lo-fi crunch and sophisticated charm. This is followed by afro-disco melters Don’t Stop and the aptly titled Fun Time. Both with strong American, disco-funk leanings but full of Nigerian flavour, they come signed, sealed and delivered for any dance floor.
