Mr. Vibez, a Nigerian Afro-fusion artist has recently dropped his new single ‘Belong to Me’, a passionate and sweet-soothing,  love confessional song that feels like a warm embrace and a cold compress to the heart. Music has always been a large part of this artist. Growing up, he was the kid who drove his neighbors crazy with all his singing and eventually his music career kicked off when he randomly stumbled into a recording studio and recorded his first demo. That day, something clicked and ever since then, he’s found a home in music. On his new track, He sings passionately about the kind of love that keeps you sane, the kind that you’re ready to risk everything for. But most importantly, the kind that you are never ready to leave.
