Listen To Oxlade’s Single, ‘Ojuju’, Out Today

Continuing his meteoric rise on the international music scene since the release of his dazzling debut EP ‘Oxygene’ last year and a string of show-stopping collaborations and singles, the exciting Nigerian Afro-fusion star OXLADE today releases his brand new single ‘Ojuju’.

Produced by Coublon (Kizz Daniel, Not3s, Sarkodie), ‘Ojuju’ is a song about being open to falling in love and features Oxlade’s addictive, one-of-a-kind mix of Afrobeat, R&B and Country influences with his distinctive, mesmerising vocals and captivating song-writing and storytelling skills to create another future hit.

Speaking on the new single ‘Ojuju’ Oxlade said: “’Ojuju’ is a story of a divine creature being afraid of falling in love, as it exposes a weak side of the being. But when someone is in love, they fear nothing. Being in love is a beautiful feeling. You just cannot get enough of that person, you cannot imagine a day without that person in your life and you just keep wanting more of that same person every single day!”

The new single is the follow-up to the smooth single ‘DKT’ and his debut ‘Oxygene’ EP which featured the hit lead single ‘Away’ which was named as one of Rolling Stone’s ’50 Biggest Songs of 2020’.
