Paul Play Dairo – Forever (Remix)

When the Hitsville album arrived in 2005 under Playground Entertainment, Paul Play Dairo placed a remixed version of Forever right at the front of the tracklist. The reworked cut keeps the core melody and emotional core of the original while shifting the arrangement just enough to feel fresh on repeated listens.

Paul Play handled production himself once again. The remix opens with a more pronounced rhythmic push and includes a rap section that frames the story before his familiar falsetto takes over. The sparse strings and light percussion remain, yet the overall feel leans slightly more urgent, as if the same confession of lasting love has been given a second, slightly bolder delivery.

Listeners who already knew the original found the remix a natural companion rather than a replacement. It sat comfortably alongside the rest of the album’s R&B material and helped reinforce the project’s quiet insistence that polished, English-language soul could hold its own in the Nigerian market. Years later the remix still circulates as part of the Hitsville package, offering a slightly different doorway into one of Paul Play’s most enduring love songs.
