Afrobeats is currently enjoying global recognition and over the years, many platforms have emerged with a unified mission of finding Afrobeats’ next superstars, but at the forefront of this mission is Ejoya. Ejoya has platformed next-gen artists such as Buju, Emo Grae, Mojo, YKB, and producers such as Grammy award-winning Telz, relentless hit-maker Niphkeys, Remy Baggins, and more. Ahead of Ejoya’s class of ’21, a yearly curation of Afrobeats’ most exciting voices, Ejoya presents Morenike featuring burgeoning producer-artist Soundz and Afro-pop hotshot Teni.
Morenike is a smooth Afropop medley that plays like a chance meeting between an admirer and his love interest. On the Perlz produced song, Soundz’s silky vocals meld seamlessly with Teni’s empathic presence to produce an earworm that soundtracks relationships in Lagos and across Nigeria.
The conversation-like record is the lead single off Ejoya’s class of ‘21 compilation. Yet again, with its yearly compilation, Ejoya curates a noteworthy musical timestamp of Afrobeats’ most exciting voices and solidifies its stance as Afrobeats tastemakers for the next generation of Afrobeats superstars.
