New Nigerian Music: AFAY 'Lai Lai' + 'Hey Bobo'

New Nigerian music. AFAY makes her singles debut with "Lai Lai" and "Hey Bobo".

New Nigerian Music: AFAY 'Lai Lai' + 'Hey Bobo'


The first time many of us heard AFAY was on her soulful duet with Omawumi on Lasso of Truth. Now, the Nigerian singer/songwriter is coming into her own with the release of her first two singles.

On "Lai Lai" AFAY simply, yet mellowly professes an eternal love to "the flame that lights [her] fire".

AFAY speeds vibes up on "Hey Bobo" with a dancehall-like introduction reminiscent of Lumidee's "Never Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh)".

We'll likely be hearing more from the Port Harcourt-based artist before the year runs out.
