With all the music project releases we’ve received in 2024 from some of Afrobeats’ biggest acts, like Ayra Starr, Tems, Olamide, Rema, and Victony, we’re reminded of the artists I’ve been starving us of full-length projects for a long time.
We’ve gotten tired of waiting for these artists to remember they have fans to feed music, so we tasked the Meta AI to give us the titles of their next albums. Did it eat?
“Soul Sessions” — Asa
Dear Asa, We know you take time to work on your albums, and it’s been just two years since your last one. But can you do another solid here and serenade us, even if it’s old or throwaway songs from your archive?
“Happily Ever After” — Davido
OBO took “bad, baddo, baddest” extra seriously and made “A Good Time,” “A Better Time,” and “Timeless” albums. Being one of the latest husbands in town, Davido’s likely to memorialise his wedding. “Happily Ever After” is a nod to his marriage and the idea that his music will live forever.
“Euphoria” — Fireboy DML
With recent romance and enjoyment songs like Obaa Sima, Outside, and Everyday, it’s apparent Fireboy DML is in an elated space. If we consider a mellow song like Dealer with Ayo Maff, we can’t be sure “Euphoria” will win the title game, but it works.
“Legacy” — 2Baba
It’s been four years since this Nigerian music legend released an album. We don’t know if 2Baba has more in him, but he should give us one move before he hangs his boot.
“Ezege” — Phyno
For so long, fans and admirers have referred to Phyno Fino as “Ezege” (meaning “King” in Igbo). It’s also been five years since his last album. It’s only fitting that the popular rapper returns as “Ezege”.
“Zanku 2.0” — Zlatan
Five years after Zlatan released his debut album, “Zanku,” he continues to represent it with his streetwear brand, “Zanku to the World.” We think it may be the perfect time to release the second installment of the album. If he won’t take a break from his clothing business and give some focus to music, we’re here for him.
“Pulse” — Omah Lay
After being alone for sometime (according to his debut album title), Omah Lay tweeted about his sophomore album after being alone for a long time. That shows he’s back outside and wants us to feel his pulse and know he’s still here. He also tweeted “Clarity of Mind” recently. We have no idea what that means, but if he’s searching for an album, here’s one for him.
