Olayemi

Olayemi Album ∙ Afrobeats ∙ 2025 Fido “ Olayemi , that’s my name,” rising Afrobeats star Fido tells Apple Music of his debut EP’s title. “It reflects on my journey from where I came from in Ogun State. All of these eight songs are about my journey from my hood to now; a famous artist in the global space.” When the singer first released “Awolowo” in 2024, he was a virtual unknown still bustling between Matogun—a sleepy border town in Ogun State—and Lagos in search of a breakthrough. The urgency of his condition animated the song, which plays as both plea to divine forces for success and tribute to the escapism offered by puffs of weed—a terse contradiction capturing the reality of millions of young Nigerians. “At the time I recorded this song, I had no money, I was smoking, I was high, like ‘What’s next?’” he says. “The moment my producer just played the beat, I was like, ‘This is the sound!’ You don’t know the plans of God and the moment I dropped ‘Awolowo,’ God just said, ‘This is you...

The Summer That Saved Me

The Summer That Saved Me Album ∙ Afrobeats ∙ 2025 Odeal After a childhood spent living across Europe, British Nigerian singer Odeal moved back to London in 2017, putting a stop to a phase of his life that had been largely defined by moving between countries and experiencing life’s joys and fluctuations from several locales. “I think what makes my music special is where the inspiration comes from,” Odeal tells Apple Music. “That shift—from being constantly exposed to the world to being limited—shaped the way I saw things and the way I made music.” Yet putting roots back down in London didn’t dull his sense of wonder and craft. Since 2017’s  New Time , the singer has been making music that pays homage to the sweeping confessions and lilting melodic underpinning of neo-R&B influences within Afropop. In characteristic Odeal fashion,  The Summer That Saved Me  contends with the dynamics of modern romance, adding an unavoidable sense of cosmopolitanism to the mix. The aptly...

CAPTAIN

CAPTAIN Album ∙ Afrobeats ∙ 2025 BNXN The two years that followed BNXN’s forthright 2023 release  Sincerely, Benson  only seem to have cemented the singer-songwriter’s OG status. That time is what sets the stage for  CAPTAIN , a sophomore album that finds BNXN coming to terms with his place as an Afropop juggernaut. “‘Captain’ is the name one of my friends used to call me,” BNXN tells Apple Music. “He would often say that as a sign of respect, leadership, and to signify who was in charge. I keyed into it deeply in the sense that I started to see myself as a crucial player in the industry, especially the Nigerian music industry. I don’t have to be at the forefront of it all. I just believe the sound or the kind of music I make is up there. It’s important.” That sense of self-assurance is palpable across  CAPTAIN , where BNXN asserts his place as an Afropop lodestar without sacrificing the thematic rigor and tonal deftness that stood him out from the start. “There’s a ...

Prince of the Street

Prince of the Street Album ∙ Afrobeats ∙ 2025 Ayo Maff “I grew up in the street of Somolu, Bariga,” emerging Afrobeats star Ayo Maff tells Apple Music. “That’s where I came from. And it’s just more to let the people know I am from them. Regardless of where people see me, I’m from the street, so that’s why they call me ‘Prince of the Street.’” On his debut album, the artist born Ayorinde Mafoluku Ayodele shares personal stories of his upbringing and how it shaped him. “It took me more than a year to record,” he explains, “so it’s very personal to me, because each song is talking about a different phase of my life. Growing up in Bariga allowed me to sing [about] the reality of where I’m from, and the genuine lifestyle. All the things I do sing about, people are also facing, so it’s all a reality check.” Sonically, the album pays homage to Maff’s roots, with nods to Olamide singles he grew up with (“Baddo’s Song”) and takes on modern fusions of Afrobeats and amapiano (“Igbalode”)—while st...

I Dream In Color

I Dream In Color Album ∙ Afrobeats ∙ 2025 Magixx Since he caught mainstream attention with his Ayra Starr-featuring 2022 hit “Love Don’t Cost a Dime (Re-Up),” Magixx has elevated his inquiries into the configurations of modern romance and dating into something of an art form while establishing himself as one of Nigeria’s most well-regarded stars. But on his debut album,  I Dream in Color , the singer mostly sidesteps those matters of the heart for an unvarnished glimpse into the uneven terrain of his life. “There have been ups and there have been downs, but I feel like the downs make you realize your purpose,” he tells Apple Music. “My own life is just one entity and I’ve been able to convert these experiences that I’ve been through into music.” Primarily inspired by familial intrigue, paranoia induced by the looming specter of betrayal, and an abiding search for wonder,  I Dream in Color  unfurls like an attestation to Magixx’s resilience as much as it is a summons for h...

Children of Africa - EP

Children of Africa - EP Album ∙ Afrobeats ∙ 2025 Seyi Vibez No one can quite predict what Seyi Vibez will do next. Whether setting the plays for an undeniable club hit on “Giza” or pondering the redemptive power of his mother’s love on the Ami Faku-featuring “LOML,” the Ikorodu singer is as enigmatic as he is unclassifiable. In 2024, with the exception of a collaborative label album,  Vibez Incorporation Mixtape, Vol. 1/ , and the birthday-celebrating release of  Loseyi Professor , the street-pop star did not put out any solo work, a stark contrast to the prolific streak he had maintained since 2022’s  Billion Dollar Baby  announced him as a star. On 2025’s  Children of Africa , Seyi Vibez makes a swaggering return to the Afropop arena while delivering a reminder of his nimble mastery of melodies. Across four songs, the street-pop star makes his best attempt to convince us that he is living his best life. There are numerous references to his material success, hi...
