Multiple award-winning Nigerian singer/songwriter Yemi Alade returns with her sixth album Rebel Queen released on her imprint Effyzzie Music Group in conjunction with IDOL. The 16-track body of work is a testament to her longevity and resilience as a global artist whose fans span the continent of Africa and beyond. Fusing a host of genres ranging from Afropop, dancehall, amapiano, Lingala, afrobeats, reggae, and R&B, Yemi brings forth quite a repository of engaging sounds that her fans and music lovers would resonate with.

From the anthemic introduction "Karibu" where she pays homage to Africa in Swahili and English to "Tomorrow" which dwells on living in the present moment and appreciating life as it happens, she set the tone for the rest of the project. This is followed by the unapologetic "Ki Lo Wa Wa" and "Chairman", the former is a call to action for a lover to step up while the latter is about living unapologetically. The project also features an impressive lineup of collaborations, including Beninois French legend Angélique Kidjo on "African Woman", Jamaican icon Ziggy Marley on "Peace and Love", Congolese rap star Innoss'B on "Lipeka", and dancehall sensation Konshens on "Baddie Remix". Yemi Alade’s multilingualism shines through in Rebel Queen, as she sings in Yoruba, English, Igbo, French, and Swahili, reminding us of her cross-cultural approach and commitment to spreading African music and culture across the globe.

Overall, the project is a potpourri of sounds, nostalgic memories and uplifting messages that highlight the multi-ethnic and diverse cultures in Africa. From her humble beginnings as a music contestant in Lagos Nigeria to achieving fame, success and recognition far beyond one could imagine, Yemi Alade has taken bold steps to balance artistic integrity, authenticity and raw musicality in all her outings.

Fondly known as Mama Africa, Yemi Alade has an enviable discography that already includes five critically acclaimed albums, four stellar EPs, and a plethora of essential hit singles such as "Johnny", "Shekere", "Africa", "Oh My Gosh", "Ferrari", and "Na Gode'"
