Nigerian Afrobeats icon Olamide is riding his own wave as he releases his new album Unruly which marks an emblematic milestone for the Nigerian music legend as his tenth studio album. The 15-track body of work sure lives up to its name as listeners get t hear Olamide in his element free from conventional constraints. The project was heralded by lead singles "New Religion" and "Trumpet" which help set the tone for Olamide's unbridled creativity, and approach to life right now. Olamide delivers genre-defying brilliance in this latest work, with the album's rich soundscapes being shaped in collaboration with Grammy Award-nominated producer P.Priime (Wizkid, Burna Boy), acclaimed super-producer Magicsticks (Asake, Davido), and his long-time collaborator Eskeez. While Olamide stays prominent across the project, he also enlists a solid superstar team comprised of BNXN, Asake, CKay and Fireboy DML to help spice up the already vibrant affair.
The project also comes with electrifying visuals for the song "Jinja". The hypnotic track samples Ludwig van Beethoven's "Für Elise" and flips it into a sublime afrobeats jam ripe with Olamide's fiery rap and laidback flow. The visual plays out like a movie filled with action and captivating scenes.
