When an artist releases a debut project, the real test often begins with the follow-up. That second body of work usually reveals whether the artist is still experimenting or deliberately shaping a sound identity they intend to own. With Solace, Kunmie answers that question clearly. Rather than pivoting for attention or chasing a wider audience, […]
Roughly a week after Harry Styles reappeared with new material, another former member of the now-defunct One Direction returns with a stronger emotional statement. ZAYN’s Die For Me arrives during the Valentine period, a season often dominated by idealistic love songs. Instead of leaning into romance, ZAYN delivers a record that interrogates love, trust, and […]
For many Nigerians, early ideas about brothels were formed not through proximity but through Nollywood. Films repeatedly presented them as morally charged spaces, used to warn, dramatise, or advance plotlines. For individuals raised within strict religious frameworks, these places often remained distant, known only through screens and stories. On a quiet evening, an ordinary urban […]
A New Rap Entry in a Short Window of Nigerian Hip Hop Releases “Born to Be Great” arrives as Jeriq’s latest statement in a rare moment where Nigerian rap is gaining noticeable momentum. Being one of the few rap records released within a two week span, the song naturally enters a wider conversation about the […]
Erigga has never been the type of rapper to chase trends or polish his rough edges for acceptance. With Pour the World Spit, he leans fully into that identity, delivering a boombap record that feels intentionally backward-looking. This is not nostalgia for the sake of it.

Fashion becomes the language through which love is announced, questioned, […]
Omah Lay’s return to the spotlight has been a cautious one. After a long silence, Waist arrived as his first single and immediately raised eyebrows. For listeners who have followed his journey from Get Layd through Boy Alone, the song felt emotionally lightweight, almost detached from the deeply introspective writing that built his cult following. […]
Sometimes, all it takes is one record to pull an artist back into the conversation. Not a carefully calculated hit or a radio-friendly formula, but a song driven by urgency and unresolved emotions. With Man to Man, Dremo returns to the Nigerian music space not as a pop-adjacent act chasing relevance, but as a rapper […]
A Veteran Pop Star in a New Phase Harry Styles’ post One Direction career has been defined by reinvention. Since the boy band’s dissolution, he has consistently positioned himself as a solo artist willing to experiment with sound, image, and emotional presentation. “Aperture,” released in early 2026 as the lead single from his fourth album […]
Longevity is a rare currency in the Nigerian music industry, and Phyno has earned his place as one of the few artists whose relevance has survived trends, generational shifts, and sonic revolutions. With over a decade of active dominance, a song like Ask of Me Now does not need to prove anything. Its existence alone […]
