expected), artistes from all sides are starting to push the buttons on their 2022 big moves and among those feature last week was Adekunle Gold’s whose album will be the highlight of the next edition of our New Music Friday.
This week we’ve got some great new jams to introduce to you that have been the hottest this week, from Bella Shmurda to Lady Donli to Wurld and more all coming back with fresh sounds for our speakers. Let’s get right to it and give you the best of new music released this week.
My Friend- Bella Shmurda
As a way of giving his anticipating fans new music, Bella released this new song on his birthday and it’s entry on the Apple Music’s Nigeria Top 100 has been a testament of how much afrobeat fans have been loving this jam and having it on serial replay.
Let You Down- Wurld
Wurld releases the third song off his upcoming album “My WorID With U” which drops on the 11th of March, 2022. You know some artistes that never miss and Wurld is a prominent name on that list, this groovy jam will sure set you in the mood and a great addition to your late night drive playlist.
Thunderstorm in Surulere- Lady Donli
Lady Donli opened her 2022 sheets by debuting “Thunderstorm in Surulere” the lead single from her upcoming sophomore LP set to be released this year, it’s creative combination of R&B, AfroSoul, and Folk-indented Afropop with warm riffs that make into something of a romantic jam.
Outside- Lyta
2022 is budding to be an interesting year in the afrobeats space coming of the new highs we attained from 2021 and we’ve got Lyta starting off the year with the release of “Outside”. He was himself as usual with his boisterous vocals and heartwarming melodies. There’s something about the word “outside” that has been inspiring our artistes to create some wonderful jams.
Trouble- R-Wan ft. Minz
Minz rode shotgun with R-wan on his latest single “Trouble” and this song is really a
masterpiece that partnered so well on the track like MJ and Scottie on the court. Soft mellow RnB music that comes to show the quality of music being released in the afrobeats space.
