Uchechi Emelonye, the Nigerian-British singer, says her latest song ‘Foolish’ is dedicated to heartbroken women.

The empowering track is the third single from her recently released extended play (EP) ‘Mixed Emotions‘.

In a recent press briefing, Uchechi encouraged women to move forward after being “served breakfast” by their partners. She also emphasised that falling in love doesn’t signify weakness.

“It’s a special dedication to very decent ladies out there who are being ‘served breakfast’ by their men. In reality, it is not a sign of weakness to fall in love,” she said.

“They should realize that the guys taking advantage of decent ladies and toying with their emotions are ‘Foolish’. They should keep their heads up and learn to let go and say goodbye. They will definitely meet the right guy who truly deserves them.”

Uchechi started her career at the age of 13. She took part in various school band performances and productions.

She began to gain traction with the release of ‘Little Black Bird’ and ‘Sunrise to Sundown’.

‘Underwater’, another single by Emelonye, won the BBC Music Introducing ‘Record of the Year 2022’ in Lancashire, England.

The 22-year-old Imo state indigene also holds a degree in Law from the University of Lancaster, UK. She describes her genre of music as Afrosoul.
