In a genre that often leans heavily on formula and repetition, Fireboy is once again proving that he’s not just another Afrobeats singer chasing hits. With Dopamine, he steps into uncharted sonic territory—pulling influences from the Caribbean, South Asia, and Persia—while keeping the music rooted in the call-and-response patterns that have come to define Afrobeats.
