DAREY DROPS NEW VIDEO
Sophomore Album- Undareyted to follow

Thanks to Darey Art Alade’s new direction, the media, critics and fans now have a lot to talk about; a lot to look forward to. And as the release of his second effort ‘Undareyted’ gets closer, it even gets more exciting and unpredictable
Although only due for official release in March 2009, the album has been on a test run since 2008, and has over time gained momentum as one of Nigeria’s most anticipated album. Following the release of videos for ‘With this woman’, ‘Carry dey go’ and ‘Not the girl’, Darey is back with ‘More’, a song that takes us back memory lane, then brings us back to the present leaving us with our mouth agape.
‘More is a dance track, but I didn’t want a regular club setting video, that was how More video came about and so far, the response have been over whelming’ Darey says
The last in the chain of videos to be dropped before the release of his second solo album, ‘More’ was directed by Mark and Gwydion, and the song was produced by fast rising producer Tee Y Mix.

Darey has been in the music industry for a while now, starting up his music career with accapella group ‘Chord webs’ before embarking on a solo career which birthed his debut album ‘from me 2 u’. One of the songs off his debut album ‘Original Naija’ was used as the theme song for the first edition of the Big brother Nigeria reality show.
His forthcoming album will be released on Soul Muzik
