Iconic Nigerian singer, D’banj has released a new album after a four-year break titled, ‘Stress Free’.
The self-aclaimed Kokomaster disclosed reasons for collaborating with Seun Kuti on the project.
He said, “I went to legacy- which is why I got Egypt 80 (led by Seun Kuti) on all seven tracks and then eased into a realm of zero anxiety after the turbulent period that the world has been through. We had a lot of fun in the studio and hopefully, this all shows up on the record!”
The new album slips D’banj into Afrobeats innovation mode, visible in the multi-layered fusion of horns, saxophones and futuristic synths across tracks.
The Egypt 8o brings the horns on the Afrobeat fusion, “Zombie”, and the Afro-meringue mix of “Welcome To Lagos” as well as the free-wheeling “Stress Free” and “Banga”.
“Ikebe”, meanwhile, is a gentle, uplifting prayer while “Big Vibe” incorporates the Amapiano sound into a pan-Continental dance special and “Avocado”- featuring Burna Boy- leads you into a glorious sense of Afrobeats utopia.
Recall the last released album in 2017 which he titled, King Don Come.
