It’s been about 15 years since the duo faded into shadows and many must have wondered what really happened. Did they break up? why did they break up?.
Here’s the answer to all of your questions.
Did they break up?
Yes they did
Why did they break up?
I think you should read a little about them first for a better understanding.
The group “Resonance” was made up of two cousins, Esther Olaedo Iyizoba (formerly Ebigbo) also known as ‘Estar’ and her cousin Uche Ozoigbo also known as ‘Gucheano’. Formed in 2016 in Enugu Eastern Nigeria, Resonance was focused on gospel music.
The group came into limelight after the release of their debut album “Chinweike”(God is great) which sold many copies and became an instant hit in Nigeria and beyond, winning many awards both in Enugu and in Lagos, setting them off for life.
Chinweike consists of seven tracks,
1. Chinwe Ike
2. Nna Anyi
3. Judgement Day Feat. Dekumzy
4. Holy Ghost Fire
5. Lee Lee
6. I Don Die Feat. Dusky
7. Thank You Feat. Dekumzy, Obio
Different from other gospel music produced before or after. The excellent vocals and raps coupled with excellent beats helped create what I consider one of Nigeria’s best gospel music till date. The tracks were so appealing that you could find the album in almost all Christian homes in Nigeria at that time.
Now back to the topic. Resonance broke up in August 2007 and they both went solo thereafter, unknowingly pushing themselves out of the limelight. I guess this is where the saying “Two heads are better than one” comes in. Esther who was the lead singer and also the leader of the group was said to be taken all the credits while Gucheano was doing all the work.
Though they didn’t say anything themselves, but while Resonance lasted, many fans were unaware the band was a duo or group. Many automatically believed Resonance was Esther Ebigbo.
