Benson collaborates with Headie One but this is all him. I actually like the bubbly melody.

My bad, this was on his last year's album, maybe I should go and listen to that

I'll make it up with this charming song partly in French from Gabon

This article is a little sad. I'm ready for a slightly less vulnerable, more confident Omah Lay, which is what he's hinting at.

Pretty good afropop lineup at Roskilde this year. Last year was a breakthrough with Rema and an already legendary Burna Boy concert at the largest stage, so it was bound to be a bit of a letdown, but Tyla (if she makes it), Tems, Omah Lay, Amaarae and Sho Madjozi (!!!!!!!) is pretty good. Throw Mdou Moctar and some Nyege Nyege related electronics into the mix, and I'm satisfied.
