PayDay’s Original Sound Track ‘Summer Love’ Bags a Nomination at the 2018 Indie Music Channel Awards

One of the most anticipated movies of 2018, “PayDay” by the revolutionary director Cheta Chukwu is no doubt riding on a good path even before its release in cinemas.

Following its recent feat of being chosen to screen at the International Festival of Detective Films in Moscow, PayDay’s original sound track “Summer Love” recently received a nomination nod for the Best Soundtrack producer (Magik) at the 2018 Indie Music Chanel. The ceremony is set to hold at the Hard Rock Café in Hollywood for Saturday and Sunday April 2018.

The movie PayDay has been receiving lots of buzz across social media since the release of the official movie poster and it is expected to hit cinemas nationwide soon.

 Produced by Orwi Manny Ameh, written and directed by Cheta Chukwu, the movie features actors like Big Brother Naija runner Up Bisola Aiyeola, Baaj Adebule, Comedian Ebiye Victor, Mawuli Gavor, Frank Adekunle, Meg Otanwa, Zack Orji and more.

PayDay follows the story of two best friends and flat mates, Paul (Baaj Adebule) and Ortega (Ebiye Victor) who, just before they are about to renew their yearly rent, their Landlord dies very suddenly, and seemingly without any heir apparent. The young men seize upon the unfortunate but good opportunity to ‘enjoy’ a little. However there was a change in circumstances when the Landlords daughter (Segilola Ogidan) turns up the following morning.

Cheta Chukwu promises a story like you have never seen before; a feel good comedy and an extraordinary acting skill from the young actors with PayDay.

Out Now: Okiki Bright Unveils New Afro-Inspirational Anthem “Eyan Ire”

Out Now: Okiki Bright Unveils New Afro-Inspirational Anthem “Eyan Ire”

“Eyan Ire,” which translates from Yoruba as “A Good Person”, explores the layered meaning of what it truly means to be good in a world full of deception, ambition, and moral confusion. With soul-touching lyrics and a powerful Afrobeat rhythm, the song cuts across cultural and spiritual lines, offering listeners both reflection and rhythm.

In an exclusive chat, Okiki Bright shared the inspiration behind the song, describing it as a response to the growing superficiality and moral pretense in society.

“We live in a world where people are desperate to make it by any means, good or bad,” he said. “Sometimes, those who appear holy or perfect in public may be hiding the darkest secrets in private. The truth is, only God sees the heart, and we should stop judging based on appearances.”

 

“Eyan Ire” goes beyond entertainment — it’s a soul-searching anthem. With rich instrumentation and deep lyrical content, it confronts the illusions of societal validation and exposes the gap between public image and private reality.

“Many people want to be seen as good people, but goodness is not something you wear on your face,” Okiki Bright emphasized. “It’s in your actions, especially when no one is watching. You can’t deceive God.”

 

From themes of hypocrisy and ambition, to identity and spiritual consciousness, the track carries a timely and timeless message a call to live with integrity and examine the heart.

With this release, Okiki Bright further cements his reputation not just as a rising star in the Nigerian music scene, but as a voice of truth and awakening. “Eyan Ire” is now available on all major streaming platforms, and listeners are already praising the track for its depth, honesty, and emotional resonance.

Fans are encouraged to listen, reflect, and share the message. “Eyan Ire” isn’t just a song it’s a movement.
