WurlD Establishes Himself As A Vanguard In The Afropop Movement.

WurlD describes his music as soothing, electrifying, and unpredictable debuting way back in 2013 with his EP - Evolution.

Sadiq Onifade has been around the music block, writing songs and working with superstars, he wrote songs for Mario, B.O.B, and Davido, the petrol blue-haired maverick shows significant work rate with the release of Afrosoul his third project in the space of 2 years.

He released his 7 track EP on May 15, 2020, Afrosoul emerges as an excitingly polished body of work he described the project as ‘a fusion of Afrobeat and electronic/soul vibes’

From saxophone laced groove, ‘National Anthem’ to the Afrobeats jumper ‘Story’ to the soulful ‘Birthday song/palm wine riddim’ the EP is coated by WurlD’s pristine penmanship.



The EP opens up with 'Nation Anthem' a fast-paced saxophone laced groove, speaking on this particular track he said ‘I call it national anthem because it documents our story – the kind of song everyone would want to soundtrack their lives’

National Anthem peeks at the imaginary ‘enemy’ how ‘them pray make I fail make I fail’ but he keeps winning regardless, that’s the average Nigerian story, the average Nigerian sees himself having an unseen enemy that wants him to fail, but he is succeeding nonetheless, this is the Nigerian anthem.

'Story' is the EP’s bop, it's commendable that WurlD can hop on a commercial beat and still maintain his alte essence, shouts to Shizzi and Soko for such an engaging beat, honeyed with WurlD’s soulful voice this is one for the dance floors.

Next up is Wayo, an amazing Afrosoul song produced by Kel P and Teflon Zincfence, shouts to Kel P the opening strings remind you of Burna Boy's Another Story, On 'Wayo' WurlD crafts a significant statement of his ability and with it establishes himself as a new vanguard of the Afro-pop movement, Wayo is an absolute vibe. Here WurlD loathes duplicity of personality and doesn't want his woman to do him 'Wayo'. Wayo is pidgin and loosely translate to "shady".

The final song on the EP is a celebratory number, enlisting the services of VVIP’s Zeal from Ghana, WurlD’s expressive harmonies blend with the rhythm and finely worked Jazz elements.



Afrosoul is substantial proof of WurlD's ability, it is a statement establishing him as one of the new authorities of the Afro-pop movement.
