Olamide positions for global dominance with 10th studio album, ‘Unruly’

In the early hours of this morning, veteran Nigerian musician, popstar, and multi-dimensional artist Olamide became available for streaming worldwide.

We decided to take a dive into the mind of the certified hitmaker to see what his highly anticipated album has to offer.

Olamide kicked off his career with his hit song Eni Duro in 2010. Since that time, he has become a regular face topping the Nigerian music charts with his subsequent projects.

From the beginning of his career, Olamide has also been keen on collaborating with his peers and fellow artists in the industry. This collaborative trait has not diminished as Unruly boasts collaborations and features from all over the industry.

Unlike what the name of the album denotes, the arrangement of this project is anything but unruly. The project has a cohesiveness that one can attribute only to the consistency of Olamide’s presence on the tracks. The album begins with the song ‘Celebration’ which is a song that opens with the most wonderful string intro. In Asake-like fashion, the song has wonderful accompanying chorus vocals throughout the song.

The first track blends into the next song ‘Jinja’ as smoothly as milk blends into tea. Olamide’s sequencing game is very strong on this album and a listener will find that they’ve gotten to the end of the whole album before they realize it.
