Lojay Releases New Song “Leader” Along With Video 

Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Lojay has released a new song titled “Leader”

By Omotayo Olutekunbi

One of the best voices in Afrobeats, Lojay is a remarkable musician that has the capacity to transform melody into several fascinating shapes. Lojay stands out among the musicians whose talent is shaping the Afrobeats industry when one takes into account his remarkable writing and faultless delivery.

Fans across the world who have been waiting for new music from Nigeria’s hottest up-and-coming exporters will be satisfied after hearing Lojay’s guaranteed hit. Before Lojay arrives with his unique voice taking center stage, “Leader” begins with pounding drums and beautiful layering of synth and vocal loops. The engaging song is released accompanied by highly stylized graphics starring Lojay in a dystopian computerized atmosphere and featuring magnificent Afrofuturistic attire.

Speaking on the video & single, Lojay shares, “I created Leader at a very significant period in my life, a period of self-discovery. If I say, It’s quite personal. My life has drastically changed in the last year and fame has made settling into a relationship even more difficult, so I channeled that into a conversation with the mic. I wanted to try something sonically that was different from anything I’ve done previously and it just felt like the perfect song to set the tone for the upcoming project. When we were brainstorming about the video, Seyi (UAX) and I were particular about stage sets and dark tones. He introduced a dystopian feel to it which further set the counterclockwise feel of this phase of Lojay as an artist compared to my previous work.”
