After much anticipation, Nigerian singer-songwriter Lojay has dropped two new singles, “Falling” and “Unleash,” giving fans a fresh taste of his versatility. The new releases come hot on the heels of his recent announcement, and serve as a thrilling follow-up to his successful collaboration with producer Sarz on the track “Billions.” With these new offerings, Lojay continues to prove why he is one of the most exciting voices in the Afrobeats scene today.
In “Falling,” Lojay showcases his emotional depth, embodying the lover-boy persona as he delivers a heartfelt confession to a love interest. The track features lush instrumentation from an ensemble of talented producers including Louddaaa, P.Priime, godOmarr, and Dayo Grey, who blend elements of Afrobeats, R&B, and contemporary pop to create a dreamy sonic landscape. Lojay’s smooth and emotive vocal delivery perfectly complements the warm, intricate beats, while his lyrics reveal a vulnerable side as he navigates the complexities of love and desire.
“Falling” is a song about emotional surrender, where Lojay admits to falling deeper for someone special. The soothing melody, combined with his tender vocals, makes the track an anthem for anyone who has experienced the thrill and anxiety of love. With its clean mix of percussive rhythms, soft synths, and mellow groove, the song creates an immersive listening experience that highlights Lojay’s ability to express deep emotions through music.
In contrast, “Unleash” takes a bold and confident approach. Here, Lojay switches gears, delivering swagger-filled lyrics that reflect his growing sophistication and success. Produced by Moon Willis and Sarz, the track fuses vibrant Afrobeats rhythms with electronic-infused sounds, giving it an energetic, carefree vibe. Lojay’s lyrical prowess shines as he paints vivid pictures of a luxurious lifestyle, using slick metaphors and catchy lines like, “Woke up in a foreign, lifestyle odi foli, owami o, enemies no fit find me, I be like UFO landing.”
“Unleash” is a celebration of success and self-assurance, with Lojay’s smooth vocal performance gliding effortlessly over the beat. The track’s infectious production, complete with Sarz’s signature touch, makes it a perfect anthem for moments of triumph, confidence, and embracing one’s journey without hesitation.
Together, “Falling” and “Unleash” reflect the duality of Lojay’s artistry. While “Falling” reveals his softer, more introspective side, “Unleash” showcases his bold, unapologetic confidence. Both tracks demonstrate Lojay’s versatility as a singer and songwriter, seamlessly transitioning between different emotional and sonic landscapes.
