}}R&BW is the fourth studio album by Nigerian singer Banky W. It was released on February 14, 2013, by Empire Mates Entertainment.[1] The album was supported by the hit single "Yes/No", which peaked at number 1 on the BBC Radio 1Xtra Afrobeat chart.[2] It features guest appearances from Camp Mulla, ELDee, Sarkodie, Sammy, Shaydee, Skales, Lynxxx, Niyola, M.I, 2Face Idibia, Rotimi and Vector.[3] The album's production was handled by Banky W, Cobhams Asuquo, Masterkraft, M.I, Spellz, Sarz and Samklef.[3]

Release and promotion

Banky W revealed the album's cover art to the public several days after signing a ₦100 million contract with Samsung West Africa.[4] The cover art was designed by The Eclectic Source, a design company whose goal is to create new and exciting works of art.[5] Banky W held the "Grand Love Concert" at the Civic Centre in Victoria Island to promote the album.[4]

Singles

The album's lead single "Yes/No" was released on November 19, 2012.[6] The music video for the song was co-directed by Banky W and Clarence Peters. British Nigerian model Angela Tokunbo Daniel made a cameo appearance in the video.[7]

The Spellz-produced "Good Good Loving" was released as the album's second single.[1] The music video for the song features cameo appearances from Damilola Adegbite, Wizkid, Boj, Lynxxx, Efya, ELDee, Skales, Niyola, P.R.E, Shaydee and Masterkraft.[8] "Good Good Loving" won Best R&B Single at The Headies 2013.

}}R&BW received generally positive reviews from music critics. A writer for TayoTV gave the album an 8.75 out of 10, concluding, "Banky made it known that he still has it and The W Experience wasn’t a fluke. This is what we want out of Nigeria not the glorified noise most of these artistes call songs or albums."[9] A writer for Jaguda gave the album 9 out of 10, stating, "this album doesn’t lack in originality and freshness. Like any other album it has its misses, but even those could be highlights on other albums, but all in all R&BW is a great album, and one that is as close to his The W experience album in terms of originality."[10] Chiagoziem Onyekwena of Nigerian Entertainment Today gave the album a 3.5 out of 5 rating, stating, "Wizkid is conspicuously missing on Banky W’s fourth full-length LP R&BW, but it's certainly not something to dwell on. When the teacher doesn’t come to class, class is canceled. However, when the most intelligent student doesn’t come to class, the teacher marks them ‘absent’, closes the register and class goes on. If this album is anything to go by, I suspect Banky W and company will do just fine."[12]

Accolades

R&BW was nominated for Best R&B/Pop Album and Album of the Year at the 2013 edition of The Headies.
