This highly anticipated album highlights the Afro-Pop star’s aim to represent the entire continent, rather than just Surulere, Lagos, or Nigeria.
Through his music, dress, and photography, the multi-award-winning artist celebrates Africa’s grace and beauty. Oxlade’s goal is to make Africans proud of their heritage and culture by combining Afrobeats, Afro-Swing, Amapiano, Coupé-Décalé, and R’n’B.
The singer’s unusual vocals bounce off addictive rhythms, all beautifully constructed under Spax’s close supervision. The CD offers a global portrayal of Africa, comprising performers from both the continent and other regions of the world.
Oxlade teams up with Bobi Wine, Dave, Fally Ipupa, Flavour, Ojahbee, Popcaan, Sarkodie, Tomi Owó, and Wande Coal to create a new take on Afrobeats. This collection of work provides fans with unique insights into Oxlade’s talent, resulting in a rich listening experience.
Oxlade showcases his tremendous talent, sophisticated storytelling, and musical versatility on ‘OFA’. The CD describes his tale as the “Chosen One,” leading listeners through the “Oxyverse,” a universe divided into four dimensions: love, pain, hustle, and joy.
This is his second single of the year, following ‘IFA’, which features Congolese icon Fally Ipupa. The track provides an enticing preview of what the remainder of the project has in store. Oxlade has clearly established himself as a major player in the music industry.
His tremendous achievements include a double platinum certification for ‘Ku Lo Sa’ in Switzerland, as well as platinum certifications in Canada, France, and Germany. With chart-topping tunes and collaborations with legends such as Bob Marley and Whitney Houston, Oxlade continues to establish himself as a generational talent.
His 2023 hit duet with British-Nigerian rapper Dave, ‘Intoxycated,’ peaked to number 50 in the UK charts. Mega-stars Usher and Wizkid, who performed alongside him in Ghana and Paris, respectively, added to his prowess.
Following the release of his debut album, Oxlade will embark on a North American tour beginning October 2, 2024, which promises to be an outstanding live demonstration of his ability and flair.
