Nigerian prospect Oxlade landed a huge viral hit in 2022 with Ku Lo Sa, an addictive summer love song, setting high expectations for his debut album.
This debut album does reach far past Nigeria, its mellifluous delicacies floating free of easy definition, showcasing a playful spirit in its take on Afrobeats.
Oxlade's imploring vocal, trilling softly in spacious settings, ensures that he remains the focus throughout the album, despite featuring collaborations with stars like Dave and Popcaan.
Bound by vibrant percussion and rich melodies, the album demonstrates Oxlade's evolution as an artist, though it occasionally stretches too long, especially with some less effective tracks.
