Seven big tracks to showcase the scope, quality and ambition of Nigerian pop, meant as a fun little August poll. Ideal if youâd like to take a break from the Janet rollout - or you could wait âtil itâs gone: you have three weeks to enjoy these songs and pick your favourite:
is it the African Giant growing twice as tall?
is it Remaâs lecherous lovefest?
is it Tiwaâs shimmering Motown debut?
is it Niniolaâs addictive âAmericanaâ?
is it Starboy Wizzyâs reggae&b?
is it Adekunleâs zippy ode to self?
is it Fireboyâs All That He Wants Is Another Eli?
(and a big shoutout to the respective producers: Telz, Ozedikus x Altims, Cracker Mallo, P2J, Sarz, TMXO, and Pheelz, for creating this highly varied selection of glorious soundscapes)
Feel free to discuss their international crossover appeal or lack of it, but vote for the one you like best, regardless of other considerations.
