“What can be better than the final premiere of the ‘Half of a Yellow Sun’ movie? Nothing! Except it is followed with the video for the theme song by KUSH which features Chimamanda, Flavour and Morell and wait for it, appearances by most of your favourite Nigerian top celebrities !
Chimamanda’s part is her second ever feature after featuring in Beyonce’s ‘Flawless’.
The reality style video features appearances by Sir Victor Uwaifo, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Genevieve Nnaji, 2face Idibia, Wole Soyinka, Onyeka Onwenu and DJ Jimmy Jatt. Others include Naeto C, Chidinma, Oc Ukeje, Dammy Krane and Praiz.
“Let’s Live Together” is the first single from the forthcoming official movie soundtrack album. The 4 minute track is a remake of the highly popular song released in 2002 by KUSH. This 2014 remake features Lara George and Emem Ema of KUSH, as well as renowned artist Flavour, Morrell and in addition, a special feature by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the award-winning writer and author of the novel “Half Of A Yellow Sun”which inspired the film.
The movie is a love story set during the Civil War and depicts the circumstances at the time, including the divisions and distrust amongst Nigerians that led to coups, violence and the desire for Biafra. The song urges us, in these present times, to live together as one, irrespective of our differences in tribe, tongue, and religion. The main message of “Let’s Live Together” is that our diversity is in fact a source of strength.
“Let’s Live Together” is a heartfelt appeal to Nigerians to live together in peace and unity and a reminder that there is strength in our diversity as a people.”
