While contesting in the MTN Project Fame West Africa three years ago, Anis Halloway gained prominence amongst his counterparts as he often displayed a certain level of charm whenever he was performing. The Sierra Leonean born singer eventually finished in the top ten.

Fast forward to the present, Anis who now co-hosts the reality TV show Nigerian Idol, is going back to his first love â€" music.

On ‘We nor want dat’, Anis using patios lingo sorrowfully describes his personal experience in the 1999 Civil war that took place in his homeland Sierra Leone. A mild start on a subtle beat with gentle guitar strokes, the high point of the song is the chorus as Anis finds it difficult to blend his verses although he delivers his message.

‘Tell me’ which takes a sample from Tracy Chapman’s ‘Fast Car’ has an alternative feel to it. With pronounced guitar chord sounds, Anis easily balances his voice delivery with his breath control.

Both songs carry stories that would not pass a good listening ear, this is Anis’ strongest point.
