RELEASE DATE
2/3/2017
PMG present a reissue of
Emma Ogosi
's
Nobody Knows
, originally released in 1981. "Emma Ogosi has worn a lot of different hats in his career: former air force officer, guitarist with Benin-based
Pogo Limited
, and husband and manager of Nigerian reggae superstar,
Evi-Edna Ogholi
. In 1981, he donned a sequined cowboy hat and released
Nobody Knows
.
Nobody Knows
is arguably Nigeria's best - and perhaps only - disco country album. Country music has always been influential in the country and Ogosi managed to channel
Jim Reeves
via the bright lights of Lagos' burgeoning disco scene to produce an album of sparkling mournfulness. The album starts brightly with 'You And I' and ends with 'Orindo', a horn-driven dancefloor filler. 'Nobody Knows' and 'A Lonely Child' venture into 'you done me wrong' territory. And you can imagine
Kenny Rogers
covering 'Give A Little', albeit wearing flares and platforms and a moustache instead of a beard. Overall, though,
Nobody Knows
is as disco as the sharp suit and gull-wing collar Emma is wearing on the cover. But don't be fooled - there are rhinestones on that there glitter ball." --
Peter Moore
