<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/lojaymusic/?hl=en">Lojay’s</a> highly anticipated debut album &#8216;<em>XOXO</em>&#8216;, originally scheduled for release this Friday, August 22, has been postponed. A new release date is yet to be confirmed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The singer shared the update in a heartfelt post on his X (formerly Twitter) page, explaining that the decision came after two years of intense work on the project.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“My people, I’ve been working on this album for the last 2 years, and I’ve put so much of myself into it. There have been a few things out of my control that mean I need just a little more time before I can share it with you,” Lojay wrote.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“This being my debut album, it’s so important to me that when you press play, it feels timeless. After all this time, I want to be sure it’s exactly right. So we’re moving it back by a few weeks to get it there.”</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">My people, I’ve been working on this album for the last 2 years and I’ve put so much of myself into it. There have been a few things out of my control that mean I need just a little more time before I can share it with you.<br><br>This being my debut album, it’s so important to me that…</p>&mdash; Lojay (@Lojaymusic) <a href="https://twitter.com/Lojaymusic/status/1958184940413014175?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 20, 2025</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The delay has stirred mixed reactions among fans, some expressing frustration after waiting years for his debut, while others have defended the move, noting that great music requires patience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>‘XOXO’</em> is already preceded by singles like <a href="https://youtu.be/5o1rq0nd0_I?si=h84mpmiWvi9QBz3T">“<em>Somebody Like You”</em></a>, <a href="https://youtu.be/XItjkN3602g?si=9pwxR-4hOEJRdRsn">“<em>Mwah”</em></a>, and <a href="https://youtu.be/mbcSUrtn_00?si=27dL3MN2pJOaevrt">“<em>Tenner”</em>,</a> which showcase Lojay’s knack for emotive delivery and lush production. If those releases are any indication, the eventual drop promises to be a soulful, carefully crafted journey into Lojay’s world, one fans will likely find worth the wait.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s another stacked Friday in the music world, and this week’s drops pull no punches. From Lojay’s moody groove to Adekunle Gold’s lavish flex and Victony’s spiritual link-up with Fridayy, the spectrum of sound is wide and richly layered. If you’re craving a late-night groove or something to soundtrack your soft-life weekend? This Friday’s lineup has you covered. From emotional slow-burners to bold, beat-heavy anthems, the new drops stretch across moods and continents. Lojay, Adekunle Gold, Victony, and more show up with records that balance flair, feeling, and fire. Here’s what’s making noise this New Music Friday.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Lojay — Tenner</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tenner-Lojay-1024x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-6672" srcset="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tenner-Lojay-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tenner-Lojay-300x300.jpg 300w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tenner-Lojay-150x150.jpg 150w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tenner-Lojay-768x768.jpg 768w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tenner-Lojay-180x180.jpg 180w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tenner-Lojay-90x90.jpg 90w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tenner-Lojay-370x370.jpg 370w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tenner-Lojay-800x800.jpg 800w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tenner-Lojay-20x20.jpg 20w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tenner-Lojay-740x740.jpg 740w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tenner-Lojay-600x600.jpg 600w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tenner-Lojay-100x100.jpg 100w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tenner-Lojay-48x48.jpg 48w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lojay is back in his vulnerable bag again ahead of his debut studio album, with a sleek but upbeat new single. With <em>“Tenner&#8221;</em>, he threads emotional tension into the pulse of alternative Afrobeats and Amapiano, crafting a sound that feels like dusk: mellow, yearning, and intense. Produced by <em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/realblackculture?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&amp;igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==">Black Culture</a></em>, the track feels like a soft but focused gaze, with his vocals not just carrying melodies but transmitting a kind of quiet urgency. There’s a dusky weight to “Tenner” that’s not entirely sombre. On the record, Lojay’s longing is coated in gloss, making it both danceable and introspective. The writing dances around themes of desire and romantic risk, while the groovy production gives it breathing space to settle deep into a listener’s ears. For those tracking Lojay’s sonic evolution from <em><strong>“Monalisa”</strong></em> to now, this is another clear marker of his grip on atmosphere, storytelling, and a delivery that just sets him apart.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ahead of ‘<em>XOXO’</em>, his <a href="https://afromixx.com/on-the-horizon-upcoming-albums-of-2025-so-far/">forthcoming debut album</a>, <em>“Tenner”</em> reads like a well-placed teaser that leans into restraint with the confidence of an artist who knows exactly where he’s headed.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Adekunle Gold — Coco Money</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Coco-Money-Adekunle-Gold-1024x1024.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-6673" srcset="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Coco-Money-Adekunle-Gold-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Coco-Money-Adekunle-Gold-300x300.jpeg 300w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Coco-Money-Adekunle-Gold-150x150.jpeg 150w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Coco-Money-Adekunle-Gold-768x768.jpeg 768w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Coco-Money-Adekunle-Gold-180x180.jpeg 180w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Coco-Money-Adekunle-Gold-90x90.jpeg 90w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Coco-Money-Adekunle-Gold-370x370.jpeg 370w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Coco-Money-Adekunle-Gold-800x800.jpeg 800w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Coco-Money-Adekunle-Gold-20x20.jpeg 20w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Coco-Money-Adekunle-Gold-740x740.jpeg 740w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Coco-Money-Adekunle-Gold-600x600.jpeg 600w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Coco-Money-Adekunle-Gold-100x100.jpeg 100w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Coco-Money-Adekunle-Gold-48x48.jpeg 48w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/adekunlegold/">Adekunle Gold’s</a> <em><strong>“Coco Money”</strong></em> is a braggadocious track that’s all about flavour and flex, one where swagger meets soft life in a rich blend of Afropop confidence. Produced by Niphkeys, the song weaves crisp drums with a sonic thread that feels highlife-adjacent but undeniably contemporary. Then comes the cheeky interpolation of Rihanna’s <em><a href="https://youtu.be/B3eAMGXFw1o?si=K-xnfhMl-MbbFjxT">“BBHMM”</a></em>, a standout moment of brash flair that adds bounce and boldness to the track.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>“Coco Money”</em> doesn’t necessarily chase depth but basks in the fruits of a journey well earned. But even in the midst of the glitz, Adekunle Gold stays slick with the pen, finessing Yoruba phrases into quotables and cruising over the beat with that velvet-gloved delivery that’s made him a staple in Nigeria’s mainstream music. His tone sits halfway between toast and testimony, acknowledging the hustle but never forgetting to floss a little.&nbsp;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Victony &amp; Fridayy — Glory II</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Glory-II-Victony-feat.-Fridayy-1024x1024.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-6674" srcset="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Glory-II-Victony-feat.-Fridayy-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Glory-II-Victony-feat.-Fridayy-300x300.jpeg 300w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Glory-II-Victony-feat.-Fridayy-150x150.jpeg 150w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Glory-II-Victony-feat.-Fridayy-768x768.jpeg 768w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Glory-II-Victony-feat.-Fridayy-180x180.jpeg 180w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Glory-II-Victony-feat.-Fridayy-90x90.jpeg 90w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Glory-II-Victony-feat.-Fridayy-370x370.jpeg 370w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Glory-II-Victony-feat.-Fridayy-800x800.jpeg 800w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Glory-II-Victony-feat.-Fridayy-20x20.jpeg 20w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Glory-II-Victony-feat.-Fridayy-740x740.jpeg 740w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Glory-II-Victony-feat.-Fridayy-600x600.jpeg 600w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Glory-II-Victony-feat.-Fridayy-100x100.jpeg 100w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Glory-II-Victony-feat.-Fridayy-48x48.jpeg 48w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Victony’s <em>“Glory II”</em> is devotional in every sense; part gospel, part street hymn, with a soul-stirring collaboration that cuts across continents. Fridayy’s voice floats in, backed with a spacious, powerful, and emotionally soaked rap-sing delivery, while Victony stays grounded, weaving his signature storytelling around hardship, hope, and elevation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What makes <em>“Glory II”</em> so compelling is how it adds flavour to the original version. Produced by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/find10k/?hl=en">Ben10k</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/semzi_/?hl=en">Semzi</a>, <em>&#8220;Glory II&#8221;</em> opens up a rare pocket where gospel instrumentation and Afrobeats percussion comfortably merge. Like ‘Glory’, <em>&#8220;Glory II&#8221;</em> is a track about grit, grace, and a theme of perseverance which sits at the centre like a flame. As a follow-up single to Victony’s <a href="https://afromixx.com/album-review-victony-stubborn/">‘<em>Stubborn’</em></a> album era, &#8216;Glory’ feels like a sonic rebirth, and with Fridayy on the feature, it’s a spiritual testament of victory.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Cassper Nyovest — Guess Who’s Back</strong></h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/casspernyovest/?hl=en">Cassper Nyovest</a> makes a return to the scene with his chest out, pen sharp, <em>“Guess Who’s Back”</em>. &#8216;Guess Who’s Back’ conveys Cassper Nyovest&#8217;s sentiments towards his peers in the form of a victory lap, a warning shot, and a reminder. Built on the head-nodding hip-hop beat by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kaizerbeatz/?hl=en">KaizerBeatz</a>, the track is full of flashbacks and flexes, delivered with that signature blend of Zulu lyricism and Western rap cadence. On <em>“Guess Who’s Back”</em>, there’s an ease to Cassper’s delivery that comes from experience. Whether he’s reflecting on his come-up or throwing shots in coded bars, it’s clear he is aware of the value of his legacy and doesn’t intend to let it fade quietly.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With “<em>Fill Up Toyota Stadium”</em> coming up in December 2025, <em>“Guess Who’s Back”</em> feels like the perfect kind of pre-fight music you play before stepping back into the ring.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>DJ SPINALL ft. Young Jonn — KEROSENE</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="640" height="640" src="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/KEROSENE-SPINALL-feat.-Young-Jonn.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-6676" srcset="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/KEROSENE-SPINALL-feat.-Young-Jonn.jpeg 640w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/KEROSENE-SPINALL-feat.-Young-Jonn-300x300.jpeg 300w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/KEROSENE-SPINALL-feat.-Young-Jonn-150x150.jpeg 150w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/KEROSENE-SPINALL-feat.-Young-Jonn-180x180.jpeg 180w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/KEROSENE-SPINALL-feat.-Young-Jonn-90x90.jpeg 90w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/KEROSENE-SPINALL-feat.-Young-Jonn-370x370.jpeg 370w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/KEROSENE-SPINALL-feat.-Young-Jonn-20x20.jpeg 20w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/KEROSENE-SPINALL-feat.-Young-Jonn-600x600.jpeg 600w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/KEROSENE-SPINALL-feat.-Young-Jonn-100x100.jpeg 100w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/KEROSENE-SPINALL-feat.-Young-Jonn-48x48.jpeg 48w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SPINALL and Young Jonn go full ignition on “KEROSENE”, a combustible club anthem that fuses amapiano-adjacent log drums with pure Afropop electricity. Ahead of his upcoming studio album “EKO GROOVE”, which arrives 22 August. On “KEROSENE”, SPINALL handles the beat with the seasoned hand of a DJ who knows what works in real-time, tag-teaming with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stillgoji/?hl=en">GOJI’s</a> co-production, which keeps things tight and tactile. This teamwork allows Young Jonn to weave his usual magic, singing, rapping, and ad-libbing with the kind of fluid charm that’s become his trademark. “KEROSENE” is built for a repeat value and likewise a spark plug for the dancefloor.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Kunmie ft. Simi &amp; Mabel — Arike (Remix)</strong></h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kunmie&#8217;s “Arike” gets a remix that stretches its emotional fabric across three borders, three styles, and three voices. Simi opens the track with feathered poise, her vocals gliding across the instrumental like silk on polished wood. Kunmie anchors the song with warmth and clarity, while Mabel’s verse arrives like a curveball, unexpected but exactly what should be the outcome of the track if a remix had to be done.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Together, the trio craft a sonic dialogue that feels more like a shared love letter than a remix. Kazez’s production makes space for this delicate delivery, laying a soft groove that holds everything in place.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Arike (Remix)” retains its emotive yearnings from the original but with a cross-continental blend of tenderness, power, and feminine grace that redefines it.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another Friday is here, and with it comes the vibrant pulse of fresh sounds ready to soundtrack your weekend. This week’s lineup sees Burna Boy intensifying his album rollout with&nbsp;‘<em>Update</em>’, Lojay delivering a soul-stirring confessional on&nbsp;‘<em>Somebody Like You</em>’, and Seyi Vibez shaking things up with his surprise EP&nbsp;‘<em>Children of Africa</em>’. Bella Shmurda explores vulnerability on&nbsp;‘<em>Verily</em>’, while Moliy taps Skillibeng and Shenseea for a dancehall-infused remix of&nbsp;‘<em>Shake It to the Max</em> (Fly)’.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Update — Burna Boy</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1021" height="1024" src="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_9274-1021x1024.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-5790" srcset="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_9274-1021x1024.jpeg 1021w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_9274-300x300.jpeg 300w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_9274-150x150.jpeg 150w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_9274-768x770.jpeg 768w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_9274-180x180.jpeg 180w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_9274-90x90.jpeg 90w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_9274-370x371.jpeg 370w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_9274-800x802.jpeg 800w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_9274-20x20.jpeg 20w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_9274-740x742.jpeg 740w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_9274-600x602.jpeg 600w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_9274-100x100.jpeg 100w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_9274-48x48.jpeg 48w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1021px) 100vw, 1021px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This week, Burna Boy has intensified the rollout of his forthcoming album ‘<strong>No Sign of Weakness</strong>’ (NSW) by changing his profile picture across social media to a throbber image and removing images of himself from the cover art of his past albums. The rollout also came with a new release, ‘<strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/7Lgy23A9cl92VD0fNC0LiG?si=cTpnq68JSSSKdO2zOLVyAw">Update</a></strong>’—possibly a lead single from the upcoming ‘NSW’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The song, which samples British R&amp;B band Soul II Soul’s 1989 classic ‘Back to Life’, opens with Caron Wheeler’s iconic vocals: &#8220;<em>Back to life, back to reality.</em>&#8221; However, Burna Boy’s choice of sample holds more depth than his freestyle-like delivery over the backdrop refrain &#8220;<em>However do you want me, however do you need me</em>.&#8221; With a heavy groove crafted by P2J, ‘Update’ is bound to put listeners in a swaying mood. However, deciphering Burna Boy’s intended message in this track remains elusive. It&#8217;s not entirely surprising to witness a slight dip in overt creativity after such a prolific six-year run of high-quality output. If you’re a fan of ‘Bundle By Bundle,’ ‘Update’ evokes a similar vibe, like an extended second verse.</p>

Since the initial announcement, Lojay has released a two-track single, ‘Falling/Unleash,’ where he vividly portrays a world of lavish provision for his muse. Building further anticipation, Lojay unveiled a deeply confessional and emotionally resonant track titled “Somebody Like You” on Thursday. Rife with Lojay&#8217;s palpable despair, yet interwoven with vibrant and expertly played guitars, the song culminates in a heartbreak-infused, yet subtly rhythmic melody. “Somebody Like You” showcases Lojay’s genuinely rich sonic artistry and could easily dominate your weekend playlist.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bella Shmurda kicks off his musical year with a new single titled “Verily,” a track that explores his interpretation of Afro-R&amp;B and underscores his vocal prowess as an artist. Bella </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Shmurda adopts a vulnerable stance on ‘Verily,’ and the inclusion of themes of longing feels notably fresh within his discography. This is particularly true given his compelling performance on this, his first single of 2025. Employing a drum pattern reminiscent of Sade’s ‘Sweetest Taboo,’ Bella Shmurda effectively conveys his yearning for his muse on ‘Verily.’ He subtly hints at potentially turning to harmful substances for solace if this muse remains elusive—adding a raw emotional edge to the song.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Like calculated spontaneity, Shallipopi, much like his former labelmate Seyi Vibez, has released his highly anticipated track ‘Laho.’ The song, which rapidly gained traction online after Shallipopi teased it weeks prior, continues to flourish across social media platforms, particularly TikTok. Shallipopi&#8217;s consistent ability to craft instantly engaging tracks with catchy lyrics and infectious rhythms continues to strengthen his reputation as a serial hitmaker with each new release. Notably, Shallipopi now employs a strategy of teasing snippets of his music before official releases, effectively generating buzz for songs that become hits even before they fully drop. ‘Laho’s’ full release reveals a terrific second verse that complements the already popular first verse and chorus teased earlier, ensuring the song&#8217;s overall grooviness will be excellent weekend listening.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite his limited digital presence and largely reclusive lifestyle, <a href="https://afromixx.com/tag/omah-lay/">Omah Lay</a> has maintained a steady output since releasing his critically acclaimed debut album in 2022. From his last single, &#8220;<em><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/2YNLzBRGyCAzHEGPO3J2Sb">Moving</a> (Francis Mercier Remix),</em>&#8221; released in 2024, to the deluxe edition of ‘<strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/3YD9RpmN2lPv5DiUuQLWto"><em>Boy Alone</em></a></strong>’ in 2023, and the announcement of his sophomore album, ‘<em>Clarity Of Mind</em>’ (COM), in July 2024, Omah Lay has kept his fans engaged. The initial lead single, &#8220;<em>Moving</em>,&#8221; suggests a shift in his music.

The surprise announcement of Davido’s forthcoming fifth studio album might seem premature, yet it appears thoughtfully planned. This is evident in the album&#8217;s title, ‘<strong><em>5ive</em></strong>’, the intended year of release, the cover artwork, and, of course, the fact that it is his fifth studio album. The album announcement coincided with Davido’s second release of 2024, &#8220;<em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Euhu5w5umdE">Funds</a></em>,&#8221; featuring <a href="https://afromixx.com/tag/odumodublvck/">Odumodublvck</a> and <a href="https://afromixx.com/tag/chike/">Chike</a>, shortly after his first release with YG Marley.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://afromixx.com/tag/joeboy/">Joeboy</a>&#8216;s significant contribution to the Nigerian Afro-R&amp;B scene will undoubtedly be remembered for years to come. One of Nigeria’s exceptionally talented artists, he has consistently delivered excellent albums and singles that have resonated organically with a wide audience, propelling him to commercial success. While this may be speculative, his commencement of the Lavida World Tour in Perth, Australia, coupled with his tweet &#8220;<em>2025 &#8211; Viva Lavida Year</em>,&#8221; strongly suggests that this tour will culminate in a significant moment for the artist: the release of an album.</p>

While she has been active recently, with chart-topping features and singles, a bittersweet announcement emerged via her Instagram story: her next album may be her last, expressing a sense of exhaustion after her efforts.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s that time of the week again, that time when we grab our headphones, or turn on our speakers as we listen to the new jams our faves have blessed our ears with. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This week, we have got a stellar line-up as big names in the industry have come through with either a single or album for our listening delight. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Big Wiz, Rema, Bnxn, and Ckay are some of the big names who will be thrilling our sense of sound with their new tracks which will either get music lovers emotional or on their feet.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Without further ado, let&#8217;s go into some of our top picks for the week.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Wizkid x Brent Faiyaz &#8211; Piece Of My Heart</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="827" height="600" src="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image-71.png" alt="Wizkid x Brent Faiyaz" class="wp-image-3961" srcset="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image-71.png 827w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image-71-300x218.png 300w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image-71-768x557.png 768w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image-71-370x268.png 370w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image-71-800x580.png 800w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image-71-20x15.png 20w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image-71-740x537.png 740w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image-71-600x435.png 600w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image-71-66x48.png 66w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For so long, Wizkid kept his fans and music enthusiasts alike constantly anticipating his new track. He has been teasing his new track with Brent Faiyaz for weeks now. The D-day finally arrived, and much to the delight of many, Piece Of My Heart was released. Upon release, it didn&#8217;t take much time before the audience started to eat it up. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Piece Of My Heart is a chill, melodious tune that explores themes of love that will forever be remembered. Brent Faiyaz came strong with his contribution on this track. His silky smooth vocals on the hook gave so much emotional touch to the tune. As expected, Wizkid did what he is known for as he delivered a masterpiece on this one.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When two heavyweights come together for a track, only the very best is expected. From infectious beats, relatable lyrics, and general high vibes, these are some of the expected aspects. Bnxn and Rema definitely ticked all these boxes in their newly released collaboration. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Titled &#8220;Fi Kan We Kan,&#8221; the duo speak on wanting their money when it&#8217;s due and enjoying life the best way they can. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bnxn starts with his smooth flows for his verse and the hook, and Rema joins in with even more energy that he is known for and together, they both deliver a potential party banger.</p>
