It has a simple but powerful message throughout the lyrics: matters of the heart are to be taken seriously as it is easier to fall in love than to fall out of it. Maduka wanted her debut single to be one that her fans would fall in love with. “It is a very personal album that speaks about life and love experiences” – Said Maduka. “The assortment of the stories contributes to the overall vibe of the album. The songs have been a work-in-progress for many years as I traveled through my own journey of life to develop an album that my fans would be able to identify within their own experiences.”
Maduka, who has formed The Gloria Maduka Foundation, an organization created exclusively for charitable purposes to aid helpless children, the elderly and individuals with physical and mental limitations, has developed a unique trademark which is enhanced by her ability to also write and sing in Yoruba and Spanish. Her techniques with the conga, bongo, and djembe among other percussion instruments set her apart from other female artists. Consequently, her passion for percussion has been infused into her music and is heard throughout her music. Aside from her impending album and single releases, Maduka has performed a special song ‘Into The Light’, for the soundtrack of the horror movie ‘Mansion of Blood’ starring award winning actors Gary Busey, Robert Picardo and Terry Moore set to be in theatres worldwide October 2011.
