Renowned Nigerian pop/soul artist Chike unveils his highly anticipated third studio album, Son of Chike, two years after his critically acclaimed project, The Brother’s Keeper.
Award-winning singer, songwriter, and actor Chike is a powerhouse in contemporary music. Rising to fame on Project Fame West Africa and The Voice Nigeria, he has won hearts with his soulful vocals and performances. His critically acclaimed debut album, Boo of the Booless, earned four nominations at the 2021 Headies Awards. His sophomore album, The Brother’s Keeper, won the “Best R&B Album” award at the 2023 Headies.
Inspired by his family legacy and artistic evolution, Son of Chike is a 12-track exploration of Chike’s cultural roots and a celebration of his family name, Osebuka.
The album title signifies his identity as his father’s son and an artist building on his past works. It’s a tribute to the human experience, navigating the complexities of relationships and personal growth.
Written by Chike, and produced by longtime collaborator DeeYasso (known for working with Oxlade, Dave, and Wande Coal), the album features guest appearances from industry heavyweights like Olamide, Qing Madi, Ladipoe, Amaeya,, and the late Mohbad. Son of Chike explores themes of self-discovery, love, resilience, family heritage, and the beauty of life, all delivered with Chike’s signature evocative storytelling and rich musical arrangements.
Led by the celebratory and already chart-topping single Egwu featuring the late Mohbad (with over 250 million global streams), Son of Chike opens with a powerful statement. Tracks like Unto You with Ladipoe emphasize staying true to oneself, while Lifetime Love and Apple explore love’s complexities. The album showcases Chike’s cultural pride in Ego Oyibo and celebrates his heritage in Mma (Beauty).
With Someone, Chike offers introspection on unfulfilled promises, followed by a message of moving on in Your Loss featuring Qing Madi. Not Your Daddy is a declaration of independence, and Balance Am seeks harmony amidst life’s challenges. The album concludes with the powerful ballad Man Not God, a call for humility and gratitude, leaving a lasting impression.
