Artistes of the Week:

       Good morning and happy new month to our weekly fans of good music! Join us to kick off this new month in style with these fresh new releases.

‍

Lagos – Obedo, Vicoka 

        “Lagos” , is a deeply moving single by Obedo PF and Vicoka that drives home a powerful message of staying true to oneself in a city of buzz and business, where it’s easy to get lost in. On this track, the ghetto youth advocate, Obedo, is joined by a fellow dedicated artiste, Vicoka, whose musical journey is grounded in his search for peace, clarity, and faith amid pressure. His music reflects on life, growth, and staying true while searching for purpose, a perfect match for the new single. As Obedo preaches to remember where it all started and to remain honest in the first verse, Vicoka takes the next, speaking on self-love, carrying all the love you give and giving it to yourself. In total, the music captures the force of Lagos from a new perspective, beyond its usual hustle and bustle, centering it on the citizens beyond the city, the navigators, and the survivors. It reminds us to protect ourselves and stay true on our journey for survival, fame, and success.

Addicted - Alfredino

Alfredino is a rising voice in the contemporary Afrobeats/Afro-soul scene, known for infectious, soulful melodies. This budding star is driven by his passion for sound and self-expression, with music that delivers the good, bad, and beautiful sides of love, attraction, confidence, and identity. Lately, he’s been keeping us hooked and addicted to his sweet new track “Addicted”. “Addicted” is a real smooth Afrobeats/R&B jam that just settles in your heart with ease. A deliberate weave of passion and emotion into good music, it's soft and shy, speaking on a love that’s delightful and pulls you in completely, overwhelming in the best way. This feeling comes alive in his lyrics, where he bashfully sings, “I’m shy but o’n dun mo mi", expressing a gleeful yet tender vulnerability that he may be shy, but he can’t deny the flutters in his chest, the sweetness of how it makes him feel. So dear lovebird, check out “Addicted”, a beautiful reminder that love can feel pure and simple, oozing freely from your chest with no hiccups.

Twin peaks- Øbed

       Øbed, a creative artist, singer, and multi-instrumentalist from Ghana, recently dropped a soulful, edgy and alternative new track called “Twin Peaks”. This song is a beautiful experience, to say the least, a unique African spin on indie pop and electric music, reminiscent of The Weekend’s music style, with an irreplaceable originality of its own. On this track, Øbed brings the 80s alive in a modern world, capturing this feel of a dark night, where good music flows on command. He creates an exciting step with the music's alluring beat and his smoky, translucent vocals, making the song feel like a memory. The emotions and intensity float all around the music, and as the cloudiness of the vocals tugs you in, the addictive rhythm keeps you moving to the beat.
