Theres so much new music being released that its hard for even the most loyal fans to wade through the trash to find the gems. Thats why weve created #BumpThis a Friday series that features new songs, by and featuring Nigerians, that you absolutely need to hear.
Fireboy DML Airplane Mode
Last year, Fireboy DML dropped his exceptional debut album, Laughter, Tears and Goosebumps, confidently announcing himself as an afropop up-and-comer to watch.
Now, hes back with his equally impressive sophomore album, . While every song is noteworthy, its Airplane Mode a relatable track about self-isolation that ends up being the project’s beating heart.
Adekunle Gold Okay
For his third studio album, , Adekunle Gold reinvents himself for the better. The versatile star delivers a stunningly-produced afropop album that will surely go down as one of the year’s best.
While the LP is full of tracks with catchy hooks, clever lyrics and standout features, its Okay that steals the entire show. Its easily the smoothest send off to haters youll hear all year.
Cuppy “Cold Heart Killer” ft. Darkoo
Granted, Cuppy has released a number of solid singles in the past the Tekno-assisted “Green Light” was a particularly memorable effort but most of her songs typically felt aimless and gimmicky.
That’s not the case with her outstanding debut album, which is confident and cohesive. The Darkoo-assisted “Cold Heart Killer”, in particular, is a standout track that finds Cuppy at her very best.
