An outstanding movie or TV series is not only sustained by strong writing and acting, or more technical and nuanced choices like cinematography and editing. You can judge a great show by its selection of music and how it inspires the tone and character of a storyline. Some series even go on to popularize a particular artist or genre, or influence the music taste of an entire audience or generation. An example of such is NdaniTV’s Skinny Girl In Transit, the GTBank funded web-series with six full length seasons. In a piece by Tami Makinde uncovering the themes and issues behind the show, the author noted that ‘the show has become a bench mark for what Nigerian webseries should look like since its emergence on the scene in 2015.’ Without doubts, SGIT is that show!
Unsurprisingly the show also boasts of a knockout soundtrack in every episode, featuring choice gems in the Lagos underground scenes such as Wani Wonder, 96, Jessica Bongos, Tomi Agape, and new originals from contemporary artists including cast member and singer Bisola Aiyeola. If you’re an avid viewer of the drama, you should have noticed the extra effort in selection of tracks on every episode and how the songs tie to the recurring plots.
We have curated a list of all the songs featured in season six of the show; even as we wait on another season of one of Nigeria’s golden soap operas, these wonderful songs can help you get through the whole noise and discover new and talented artists out of Nigeria.
