The song is a funky fusion of Darey\u2019s silky R&#038;B vocals against a hard-hitting hip-hop and electro beat, and is guaranteed to have listeners humming its catchy hook for hours on end. \u2018The Way You Are\u2019 is taken from his forthcoming self titled debut UK album.<\/p>\n<p>The single is written and produced by Darey alongside renowned producer Cobhams Asuquo and Del B (for Soul Muzik)<\/p>\n<p>Darey is anything but \u2018new\u2019 to this game. Having shot to fame in 2004 following a successful stint on the popular TV talent show Project Fame, which broadcast all over the African continent, Darey went on to release his debut album \u2018From Me 2 U\u2019 in 2006.

Some of these nominations included the coveted \u2018Record of the Year,\u2019 \u2018Best Male Vocal Performance\u2019 and the \u2018Listeners Choice\u2019 award. He won the 2010 Soundcity Music Video Award for Best R&#038;B\/Pop Video and Best R&#038;B Nigerian Entertainment Awards in the USA.<\/p>\n<p>Tipped as Africa\u2019s answer to Ne-Yo by industry experts due to his beautiful songwriting skills, Darey now has his sights firmly set on breaking the UK and other international markets; \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to bring my sound to the UK and I\u2019m super excited to see how the people take to it. I\u2019m a massive fan of the scene there and have a huge respect for the music that has come out of England over the years. I\u2019d also love to collaborate with a few British acts, I can\u2019t wait to see what happens next\u201d he commented.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Darey will head to the United Kingdom this week for his first set of promo performances.
