With ‘It’ll All Make Sense Later’, Eric Bellinger continues to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories. The album features a rich tapestry of Amapiano and Afro-influenced tracks, alongside the R&B smoothness that fans have come to know and love from him. The album’s African features give fans a glimpse into Eric’s growth as a global artist, bridging continents and blending genres in a way that feels both innovative and authentic.

His career has included collaborations with major artists like Usher, Justin Bieber, Chris Brown and Ne-Yo, as well as chart-topping singles like “G.O.A.T” featuring Wale and “Type a Way” featuring Chris Brown and OG Parker.

Reflecting on the creation of ‘It’ll All Make Sense Later’, Eric sums up, “This project is a reflection of my journey, both personally and artistically. I want people to see me and know that I took a chance on something bigger than myself—something beyond what I thought was possible. I trusted my instinct and attached feet to my faith. If I can do it, you can too—whatever your calling or dream may be. There’s so much happening in the world right now, and I see this album as a soundtrack to the joy and positivity that life has to offer. I want this album to make my fans happy.

The post Oxlade earns first-ever RIAA gold certification with 'Ku Lo Sa' appeared first on NotjustOk.

In a recent interview, Oxlade confessed that his admiration for Wande Coal's talent and impact on the music industry motivated him to pursue singing. "I don't think I've ever said this generally before, but I think Wande is the reason I make music, and people don't even know," he said.

"Wande is the reason why singers have the guts to still sing. Wande came in an era where, you know, vocalists and singers were a dying breed, and he made us have an identity and still believe in ourselves—so having someone like Wande on this album is a dream come true for me."

Also, Oxlade shared the story of how he collaborated with Wande Coal on his song, Asunasa - Hold Your Waist. He recounted how, after recording the song in Ghana, he felt something was missing, and a conversation with Wande Coal led to the legendary singer's feature on the track.

"That's the fastest song I made on the album. I made it in Ghana, and when I was thinking of the song I felt like the song was just missing something. [Wande and I] were discussing and I just pitched it to him, and he decided to jump on the song. That's one of my favourite songs of all time, and I feel like the world is going to relate to it."

The post Oxlade drops debut album 'OFA (Oxlade From Africa)' appeared first on NotjustOk.

Nigerian singer, songwriter, and performer Ikuforiji Olaitan Abdulrahman, better known as Oxlade, is set to release his debut album, 'Oxlade From Africa', and we already have some insights about it.

The Epe-born star, whose global smash 'Ku Lo Sa' opened an international market for him and has kept him on the road for the longest time, is tying his new album back to his roots — Africa. The album, which is short and concise, sees some heavyweight features and is scheduled to be released on Friday, September 20, 2024. Here are five things you should expect from Oxlade's new album, Oxlade From Africa.

1. Short and Concise
In an era where attention spans are shrinking—likely due to the overwhelming amount of music released daily—Oxlade has crafted a compact project that caters to this new reality. Rather than the typical 14-track album, Oxlade has deliberately kept the tracklist much shorter. According to him, both his team and a divine influence encouraged this decision, making the album concise yet impactful.

2. Features
The album boasts some highly anticipated collaborations. Among them is a long-awaited feature from Wande Coal, whom Oxlade affectionately refers to as "his dad." Wande Coal, widely considered a blueprint for modern Afrobeats and Afro-pop, is someone Oxlade deeply respects. The album also features Jamaican superstar Popcaan, and according to Oxlade, this collaboration came together seamlessly—Popcaan delivered his verse in just five days.

3. Album-Title Song
Every great album has a defining moment, and for Oxlade From Africa, that moment comes with the album-titled track, 'OFA.' Traditionally, when artistes name a song after the album, it’s a standout, and Oxlade doesn’t disappoint. This track is bound to be one of the highlights, embodying the essence of the entire project.

4. Staying True to His Identity
On this project, Oxlade remains authentic to his Afrocentric sound. He doesn't stray far from his roots, keeping the album grounded in the Afrobeat spectrum. There’s minimal experimentation, showcasing a refined sound that fans have come to love from him.

5. More Intentional Misspellings
Following the success of 'Ku Lo Sa,' an Africanised twist on the word "Closer," Oxlade is continuing with this unique branding. His collaboration with Wande Coal on the album follows the same trend. While the song’s English title would normally be "As Soon As I," Oxlade opts for an Africanized spelling. He’s made it clear that this approach is becoming part of his signature style, so fans should expect more creative spellings in the future.

The post Oxlade and Fally Ipupa ignite the dancefloor with 'IFA' appeared first on NotjustOk.

One thing about Nigerian music, even when it was generally not as good as it currently is, we always got served with good music videos that pieced together quality directing, choreography, styling and a resolution that was for the most part, at par with videos in that era. With the right factors coming together to get our music more attention first on the local scene before the international, this attention to visual details had become an additional booster that had piqued the interest of music stations to spin local videos and music enthusiasts to tune in. So in this story, we pay homage to Nigerian music videos but take a spin on it by highlighting the animated ones.

What are visualisers? 

Apparently, visualizers are different from music videos in that while they're visuals that accompany a song, they're typically very simplistic with the aim of bringing the song to life in an easy-to-follow manner that is still interesting. Most times they're digital and are animated. 

See the 10 Nigerian music videos that are animated; 

1. Suuru Lere by Lagbaja

Lagbaja's Suuru Lere is an 8-minute-long track that recounts Nigeria's political history, right from the amalgamation to the moment we gained independence and the onslaught of ensuing coups. All of these events were rendered in animation to provide viewers young and old with a well-detailed and graphic depiction of the circumstances surrounding our democracy, which was the crux of the song; patience with each other despite our myriad differences in the face of the democratic mandate. 

Today, Lagbaja's Suuru Lere is 22 years old as it was released in the year 2000 but it seems the message in his song and the visuals collectively flew right over the nation's head with the state of affairs mirroring that depicted in the video. 

2. Ijoya by Weird MC

Weird MC's Ijoya was a huge hit in 2006 when it was released, and it launched the rapper into the limelight. Its fully animated video had further endeared the song to its viewers, as kids most especially were in love with its colorful graphics that saw Weird MC go from swaggering in front of a Hummer Jeep to dancing with an all-female troupe as well as talking drum players. 

The video was also additionally brilliant in that the much-loved animation had distracted viewers from Weird MC’s utterly masculine-presenting style which may have rubbed the highly normative Nigerian society the wrong way if rendered in the typical life-like form.

3. For Instance by 2Baba 

Its simple video which was in animated form saw 2Baba appear in many scenes from traffic to the club and in newspapers and this colourful depiction had been well-received, earning the video a formidable run on music video stations. 

4. Action Film by M.I Abaga featuring Brymo

The late 2000s and early 2010s were owned by iconic rapper M.I Abaga and in 2010 he gave TV an unforgettable moment with the video of his Action Film. It had been animated, action and sleuth filled with M.I as the main character carrying out stunts from a car to a plane, dressed up in a sharp suit in a bid to rescue a kidnapped woman. 

Towards the end, Ice Prince made a timely cameo, coming in to save M.I when the chips were down and these elements and its close depiction of the chaos in Lagos and a typical action movie served to make the video a favourite.

5. Surrender- Mr Eazi ft Simi

Mr Eazi has with his EmPawa initiative revolutionized the music business and one of the ways in which he did this was by popularising visualizers. 

Mr Eazi’s Surrender is a perfect example of a visualizer as he was depicted dancing with reckless abandon beside a giant waist adorned with waist beads, swaying to the beats of the music. The animated Mr Eazi also threw in some hilarious dance moves that illustrated kicker lines like “I know say I no strong like Mike Tyson I know say I no get the voice like Michael Jackson.”

Surrender was a hit with the Poka Studios animated video, which amassed 11m views, which is double the number of views the official video got. Since then, Mr Eazi has made a killing with animated visualizers like the Chronixx-featured She Loves Me and visuals for recent singles like 'She Loves Me'. 

6. Joeboy by Lonely

Embarking on a binge of Joeboy’s videos will reveal that the Afropop sensation is a fan of animated visualizers and this makes perfect sense given that the star is signed to Mr Eazi’s EmPawa Initiative. 

Also created by Poka Studios, Joeboy has, with his visualisers, not only provided viewers with a colourful video but hilarious ones from Call to Lonely. The visualizer for Call was released at the height of the pandemic, proving to be the smart way out given the restriction on movement and gathering. It was well received and sits at 7.6 million views at the moment. While it's his most viewed animation video, the visualizer for Lonely takes the cake by virtue of its funniness. 

In Lonely, Joeboy’s aloneness is juxtaposed against a bunny with a thriving love life who takes advantage of the singer's space and telephone to woo his bunny lover while Joeboy waits on his love interest. 

Eventually, Joeboy’s wait is rewarded just as the bunny is jilted by his lover for a buff-looking bunny and Joeboy gets to kick the callous rabbit out. The visualizers to Call and Lonely also feature interesting cameos of Joeboy's label boss Mr Eazi who plays random roles from being the driver of the golf cart in Call to being the delivery man of the bunny's carrots in Lonely, serving to give them Marvel level twists.

7. Rora by Reekado Banks

The visualiser for Reekado Banks Rora had been released before the more popular official music video but this did not hinder the video, from getting substantial clicks. 

In fact, to date, a total of 15 million people watched Reekado Banks sing, put the lyrics into action and dance with his animated love interest in the Poka Studios created visualiser for Rora. 

8. In My Maserati by Olakira

Olakira’s In My Maserati blew up with a dance move and a challenge in tow. These had been off the back of his visualiser, which had stitched together hilarious scenes where he drove his lover around first in a shopping cart and then a wheelbarrow before finally, they hopped in an actual Maserati. 

Directed by the self-same Poka Studios behind Mr Eazi and Joeboy's visuals, the visualizer had contributed to giving Olakira his first hit song with In My Maserati. 

9. Greed by Jinmi Abduls featuring Oxlade

In the Oxlade featured song, Greed, Jinmi Abduls vocalizes about his act of infidelity where he cheated on his lover due to greed and is now begging her forgiveness. 

So in the visualiser that Naiky Toonz produced, we get emotion-filled scenes of Jinmi tailing his lover all around town while apologising. And then a scene with Oxlade sees him confessing to a priest who hilariously joins him in apologising to his wronged lover, but to no avail. 

10. Thunder Fire You by Ric Hassani

Right from the audio, Ric Hassani’s Thunder Fire You elicited laughter so it was only right that the video did justice to the song. 

As a result, Ric Hassani made use of a visualiser, with a few scenes depicting his ill-treatment from his lover followed by literal and swift retribution through thunder strikes on her and her friend. 

It gets even funnier when God and the angels weigh in from heaven to express their displeasure and eventually met out punishment on the lover even faster than Ric himself could.
