AfroSoul is the artist’s third project in 14 months and is part of a very coherent evolution. Indeed, having started as a ghostwriter for artists such as Akon or Trinidad James, the singer started to expose himself around 2017 with tracks lkke the excellent “Show you off” and has maintained since then a guideline: the will to overturn popular Nigerian music. Born Sadiq Onifade, the singer has indeed released since his beginnings a meticulous, intellectualized afrobeats, mixing influences of soul and jazz. His last EP I Love Girls with Trobul<\/em> in collaboration with producer Sarz<\/a> had refined this style, and AfroSoul<\/em> is another brilliant demonstration of it. “Ghost Town” borders on rock, “Love nobody” is reminiscent of EDM and “National Anthem (Growing Wings)” has a frenetic jazz\/funk feel. Yet the DNA remains unmistakably afrobeats: the energetic rhythmics of the tracks, Kel-P’s production on “Wayo (Kpe Le Wu)” and the pidgin vocals don’t lie. The artist himself said that with this project he wanted to create a “fusion of afrobeats and electronic\/soul vibes”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The themes covered are very broad, ranging from loneliness to determination, love and betrayal. The singer cleverly transmits these emotions with a clear and strong voice, that impressed Colors’ audience when he performed in the Berlin studios on April 30th. AfroSoul<\/em> is an effective glimpse in the singer’s colourful universe, that we hope will open even more in his next projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Listen to AfroSoul<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
