you don’t vote, you don’t start threads, what do you do?

(sorry, couldn’t resist)

lol

i just never got around to listening to a few of the tracks i hadn't heard here, but i'm glad i did because "woman" rules especially

Okay cool, here we are folx:

Thraed of 🔥 Fireboy DML 🔥 and his new album Apollo

Having listened to all these songs a stupid amount of times now I can confirm that this is the scientific and objective order:

Woman > Smile > Dangerous Love > Eli > Addicted > Wonderful > AG Baby

That said, the best one is the one I'm listening to in the moment, perhaps witht he exception of AG Baby, which hasn't yet dug itself in for me yet.

🔥🔥🔥

This poll would have even been better (and tighter!) with "No Stress" as the Wizkid entry instead of "Smile". And it would have been a Perfect Eight if Davido had dropped his "Fem" in time.

With the Wizzy album out now (dedicated thread here, six out of these seven have their accompanying albums released. In chronological order:

Burna Boy, Twice As Tall, released Aug 13
Fireboy DML, Apollo, released Aug 19
Adekunle Gold, Afro Pop, Vol. 1, released Aug 21
Tiwa Savage, Celia, released Aug 27
Niniola, Colours and Sounds, released Oct 2
Wizkid, Made In Lagos, released Nov 29

So that only leaves our winner, but there's no word on a Rema album yet, afaik.

(However, Davido's A Better Time is apparently scheduled for Dec 3 now)

oops, Wizkid, Made In Lagos, released *Oct* 29, obv

Our winner finally gets a proper video!

...and Davido's A Better Time album is out today.

Producers Ozedikus and Altims talk about how they created “Woman” (sort of) together:
