In May 2022, Nigerian rising star Victony released Outlaw<\/em>, a 7-track opus demonstrating the raw talent and versatility of the now 22-year-old singer, with focus singles like the Amapiano-infused \u201cApollo<\/a>\u201d and the slow afro hit \u201cKolomental<\/a>\u201d. But the sweet guitar loop of track number 6 took the world and the platforms by storm on another level. Produced by Tempoe, \u201cSoweto\u201d is this addictive mix of signature Nigerian melodies, Victony\u2019s witty lyricism, and a catchy whistle answering the singer. Punctuating the song at just the right moments, the windy accent made its way to TikTok, where \u201cSoweto\u201d spread like wildfire, boosted by a footwork-loaded choreography, challenges, and even a sped-up version. \u201cThe sped-up version is obviously doing really well, and that means more Shazams, so you want the song to be available on digital platforms and people to be able to search for it. So that\u2019s why we released it,<\/em>\u201d explains the singer. And on the occasion of a fresh remix out now – featuring none other than Nigerian star Rema<\/a> and American rapper Don Toliver – PAM checked in with Victony during his recovery break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
