Nigerian Afropop star Joeboy today shares the video for “Focus,” the third visual from his freshly-issued debut album, Somewhere Between Beauty & Magic.
The clip follows a strong first week for Somewhere Between Beauty & Magic (Banku Music/emPawa Africa), which has peaked at No. 1 on Apple Music in 28 countries since dropping Feb. 4th, amassing over 30 million streams across DSPs.
Director Dammy Twitch (Burna Boy, Davido) helms the noir video for “Focus,” which warns against the dangers of alcoholism and drinking and driving. The stylish, moody visuals represent a darker tone for Joeboy, a romantic master of sunny, short, and sweet love tunes like “Baby,” “Beginning” and “Nobody,” his 2020 collaboration with Mr Eazi and DJ Neptune.
Lyrically, “Focus” (produced by Ghana’s MOG) is a song about unrequited love “and somebody not being straightforward about their intentions with you,” Joeboy says, noting that the lyrics were based on situations experienced by one of his producers, Dëra, during the making of Somewhere Between Beauty & Magic.
One of Afropop’s leading young lights, Joeboy has topped charts across the Continent and beyond with an improbable run of smashes since emerging in 2019. Dubbed “Nigeria’s next big thing” by Billboard and “The boy wonder of Nigerian pop” by Notion, the 23-year-old crooner has scored praise and accolades from Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Complex, CNN, Vice, Flaunt, and The FADER on his way to racking up over 500 million streams.
Rising Afrobeat artist E-Zone is back with a powerful new single titled “Big Energy”—a vibrant, feel-good anthem that blends infectious rhythms with a message of confidence, resilience, and self-belief.
“This song is for anyone chasing something bigger than themselves. It’s about staying strong, believing in your journey, and stepping into your full energy no matter the odds,” says E-Zone.
Fast-rising Afrogospel singer ADEBISI has released a brand-new worship anthem titled “Receive My Praise (Baba Gbo Ope Mi),” a powerful expression of gratitude, faith, and complete surrender to God.
The uplifting single beautifully blends English, Yoruba, and Nigerian Pidgin, creating a rich cultural sound that reflects the heart of African worship while remaining accessible to listeners from different backgrounds. With its infectious AfroGospel rhythm and deeply spiritual lyrics, the song delivers a timeless reminder that God deserves praise in every season of life.
Inspired by biblical truths and anchored in heartfelt worship, “Receive My Praise (Baba Gbo Ope Mi)” invites believers to lift their voices in thanksgiving regardless of life’s circumstances. ADEBISI’s soulful vocals, combined with the song’s vibrant production, create an atmosphere of celebration and reverence that is both refreshing and inspiring.
Speaking through the music, ADEBISI encourages listeners to cultivate a lifestyle of gratitude, emphasizing that praise remains one of the greatest expressions of faith and devotion.
The new release follows a string of well-received gospel songs, including Ese Baba, Oluwatamilore, Halleluya
As Afrogospel continues to gain global recognition, “Receive My Praise (Baba Gbo Ope Mi)” stands out as another inspiring addition to ADEBISI’s growing catalogue, offering listeners a song that is both spiritually uplifting and musically engaging.
The single is now available on major digital streaming platforms worldwide.

Striking while the iron is hot, rising visionary S.O.S has officially dropped the performance music video for his latest single, “Ancestor.” The visual arrival comes barely 48 hours after the audio release, capitalizing on the massive wave of digital momentum and critical acclaim the track has already generated.
“Ancestor” is rapidly positioning itself as a culturally defining, phenomenal record. Built on a foundation of hypnotic rhythm and profound storytelling, the track features crisp, ground-breaking production from the highly sought-after producer Strings Beatz.

By keeping the visual lens fixed on the artist’s raw emotion and cultural expression, IGN Creative has captured the exact essence of what makes “Ancestor” such a milestone release.
