Ric Hassani Brings Album Closer With New Single “Moving Train” 

Ric Hassani returns with Moving Train, an emotionally charged new single that sets the tone for his forthcoming album Lagos Lover Boy, dropping June 13, 2025.

In a world quick to judge and question love, Hassani offers a message of steadfast devotion. “They can say love is a losing game, but I am still on a moving train to you,” he declares.

Set to his signature fusion of soul, pop, and African rhythm, Moving Train is both a sonic journey and a statement. It powers through doubt like a locomotive—bold, unwavering, and full of heart. The song showcases Hassani’s knack for turning vulnerability into strength, cementing his role as one of Africa’s leading voices in romantic music.

Lagos Lover Boy promises a cinematic exploration of love in Lagos—its beauty, chaos, and everything in between. From high-rise heart-to-hearts to slow-burning traffic tales, Ric captures the city’s emotional landscapes in detail.

Known for hits like “Gentleman,” “Only You,” and “Thunder Fire You,” Ric Hassani (born Ikechukwu Eric Ahiauzu) has made a name with his smooth vocals, thoughtful lyrics, and stylish aesthetic. Since his 2016 breakout, he’s built a devoted fanbase and a reputation as a refined romantic and cultural icon.

Also a judge on Nigerian Idol, Hassani continues to push African music to global audiences, staying true to his brand: passionate, elegant, and real.
