Following the 45 million streams of her hit \u201cBaby Riddim\u201d, the singer drops a five-track EP, allowing the \u201csounds in her head<\/em>\u201d to finally come out. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fusing sultry Afropop melodies with Caribbean, R&B and hip-hop influences, Fave\u2019s debut EP Riddim 5<\/em> confirms that the singer is definitely one of Nigeria\u2019s next big artists. Written by herself and featuring production from some of the country\u2019s most dynamic beatmakers (Krizbeatz, Phyl, Saszy Afroshii, Damie), the project sees her explore different musical ambiances, from the bouncy \u201cObsessed\u201d to the dreamy midtempo \u201cS.M.K\u201d, which she says was inspired by the Freddie Mercury quote \u201cI think my melodies are superior to my lyrics<\/em>\u201d. Also included is the early fan-favorite \u201cMr Man\u201d, which went viral on social media when a one minute snippet of the song was shared last year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe sounds in my head that want to come out are finally getting the chance<\/em>\u201d, Fave says about the EP. \u201cFor me it\u2019s not the number of songs out but the number of songs I get to create over time, and this is because of a ranging number of reasons\u2014my favorite (one) being that I get to see different sides of me. I\u2019m never slacking on a chance to unlock a phase<\/em>.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting to make music in 2018 with bedroom freestyles, Favour \u201cFave\u201d Chidozie rapidly caught the attention of industry heavyweights, including Mr Eazi<\/a>\u2019s emPawa Africa. She officially released her first song \u201cM.O.M.M.S<\/a>\u201d in 2019, following on with a series of singles and videos, and a noted appearance on Olamide<\/a>\u2019s critically acclaimed 10th studio album UY Scuti<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
