Victony’s journey to this moment reads like a script from a redemption blockbuster. In April 2021, a devastating car crash left him in a four-day coma, wheelchair-bound for months, and facing a gauntlet of surgeries that would shatter lesser spirits. Yet, from those ashes rose ‘Stubborn’, a 14-track opus released in June 2024 that amassed over 150 million streams, earning acclaim for transforming raw pain into anthems of ambition and heartbreak. Collaborations with global heavyweights like Asake, Saint Jhn, Teezo Touchdown, and Shallipopi turned it into a cross-continental earworm, blending his city street swagger with introspective R&B flourishes. 

And it’s from this ‘Very Stubborn’ that picks up that thread with unapologetic ferocity. The EP’s title, an escalation from its predecessor, telegraphs a narrative of creative independence and unrelenting drive, themes that have become Victony’s calling card.

Standout lead releases include “Tanko”, a rowdy collab with veteran Terry G that channels unfiltered street energy, and “Skido”, a gritty banger featuring Afrobeats icon Olamide—two tracks that hint at the EP’s dynamic range. Additional features from BNXN will add layers of melodic interplay to the street-curated mix. At eight tracks, ‘Very Stubborn’ clocks in leaner than its predecessor, allowing each cut to hit like a precision strike. This announcement, dropped mid-week via Victony’s socials, comes hot on the heels of ‘Stubborn’s’ one-year milestone. 

As the countdown to November 21 ticks down, Victony’s ‘Very Stubborn’ EP is here to remind listeners that stubbornness, when wielded right, is the ultimate superpower.

This new EP sees the return of Gabzy’s alter ego, Malone—a toxic side of him that contrasts the lover boy persona—slipping out on tracks like “After Summer”, while a deeply vulnerable delivery emerges on a song like “Patience”.

The 16-minute EP opens with the partly acoustic “New Body”, produced by Jester Beats and APGoKrazy. Gabzy specifically dedicates this one to the newly improved physique of his muse, describing her as a “work of art” and a “diamond in the rough”. The production on “New Body” transitions into the groove of a drum set, with the guitar now serving as a backdrop that allows Gabzy to confess how intensely he’s attracted to the physique of his muse. The EP picks up with the groovier AoD and The Elements-produced “So Much Sense” featuring Fireboy DML, which matches the flirtatious and non-committal vibe the track aims for. It paints a good time, fuelled by everything a summer party into the night offers.

Maintaining a similar upbeat tempo, the EP progresses into the introspective “So Easy”, where Gabzy reflects on personal struggles, betrayal, and success accompanied by gratitude. On the fourth track, “Patience”, he is more emotional and sombre, at the verge of losing someone he deeply loves, and so he pleads with her to be patient with him. The masterful production by Le Mav conveys an equally emotive essence, reinforcing the vulnerability Gabzy intends to pass on to listeners.

“After Summer” finds Gabzy in a self-inflicted heartache, triggered by the commitment issues also evidenced in earlier releases like “As Friends”. Yet through it all, he admits he’s the problem, and while his heart may want her, his body will chase another feeling. He closes ‘It’s Not You, It’s Summer’ with the light-hearted yet flirtatious “So Special” featuring Victony, on a niche subject matter he effortlessly thrives in.

Gabzy’s ‘It’s Not You, It’s Summer’ delivers music from the lens of his long-standing duo personalities, as evidenced in several past projects, including his two-pack EP ‘Round 1’ from November last year. With this new offering, he invites listeners into an emotionally chaotic world, charged by women, indecision, uncertainty, and summer parties.
