Tems and Rema, two Nigerian music stars, continue captivating global audiences. Rolling Stone magazine recently recognised their impact by including Afrobeats on their list of the top 100 songs of 2024.

Tems’s soulful track “Love Me Jeje” secured the 20th spot. This standout from her Grammy-nominated debut album, Born In The Wild, pays homage to a classic record. Seyi Sodimu and Shaffy Bello own this record.

Rolling Stone praises the song for its longing for carefree joy and its ability to transcend cultural boundaries.

“On the sun-kissed ‘Love Me JeJe,’ Tems’ voice reminds us that yearning should be playful and unburdened by any insecurities or apprehensions. Interpolating

Seyi Sodimu’s ’90s Nigerian pop hit of the same name, Tems “Love Me Jeje” builds on the recent trend of artists collapsing elements of R&B and Afrobeat. Producers GuiltyBeatz and Spax sound more focused on rhythm than melody, using even the guitars as conduits for Tems to lightly slip and slide between pockets. That candid moment near the end, where Tems giggles with a friend, encapsulates the song’s essence. Her demands for love are lighthearted and unbothered.”

Rema’s energetic track “Ozeba,” is featured on his Grammy-nominated album “HEIS.” It claimed the 63rd position on Rolling Stone’s Top 100 Songs of 2024.

This popular song embodies Rema’s signature style of uptempo rage music, designed to revitalise the Afrobeats dance scene.

Rolling Stone highlights the song’s pulsating drumbeats and provocative lyrics, challenging and exciting listeners.

“After making his name with the lush and lovey-dovey sensibilities of Afrobeats, Rema is far more sinister, menacing, and intense across his sophomore effort, HEIS. Gone are the flowery epics about pursuing a tryst; instead, prepare for some good old-fashioned shit-talking, especially on ‘Ozeba.’ On the album’s centrepiece, Rema unloads a barrage of goads and taunts over a pulsating roll of drums that will raise your heart rate faster than a merciless round of HIIT. Time to cause some trouble.” 

Tems and Rema’s appearance on Rolling Stone’s list underscores their global stardom. It also highlights their pivotal role in popularising Nigerian music worldwide.

‘Lungu Boy’ further cements the artistic prowess of Asake. It features an impressive lineup of international collaborators, including Stormzy, Central Cee, Anais Cardot, and Wizkid.

The album’s track ‘M’MMS,’ featuring Wizkid, has already garnered significant acclaim, securing a nomination for Best African Song Performance at the 67th Grammy Awards.

This marks Asake’s second Grammy nomination in two consecutive years, a testament to his growing international recognition and musical innovation.

Music critics and fans alike have declared Asake’s mainstream run unprecedented in Nigerian music history. With ‘Lungu Boy’ continuing to achieve digital success and breaking chart records, the artist shows no signs of slowing down.

The album remarkably set a new record on Spotify. It secured the largest opening day streams for a Nigerian artist. Also, it demonstrates the musician’s continued global appeal.

“Morayo” features a diverse collaborative lineup, including 16 tracks with guest appearances from prominent artists.

The album showcases Wizkid’s international reach by featuring Afrobeats hitmaker Asake, French artists Tiakola and Anais Cardot, and American musicians Jasmine Sullivan and Brent Faiyaz.

Should the concert materialise, it would mark the first performance Wizkid holds in Lagos since his 2022 Flytime Fest headline appearance.

Fans are particularly intrigued by the potential concert, given Wizkid’s previous statement suggesting his 2022 performance might be the last ticketed show for his Lagos audience.

Industry observers and music enthusiasts are closely monitoring the potential tour plans. The “Morayo” album’s release suggests Wizkid is preparing for a comprehensive tour.

Furthermore, Lagos potentially serves as the inaugural destination for the live concert Wizkid holds for his latest musical work.

The strategic timing of the album release and the cryptic social media post has effectively generated significant anticipation among fans and media outlets.

Wizkid continues to demonstrate his ability to create musical and promotional momentum. He maintains his status as a leading figure in the global music landscape.

Meanwhile, official confirmation remains pending; the “Lagos December” post has successfully generated substantial speculation and excitement.
