Lojay returns, and with his new release, “Falling/Unleash,” he brings a double dose of sonic brilliance. The Nigerian artist, who has exploded onto the global stage for his seamless blends of Afrobeats with global sounds, guides listeners through love’s highest and most fraught lows. Seamlessly blending seemingly contrasting moods, these two tracks offer the perfect eclipse in showcasing Lojay’s undeniable versatility and storytelling.
On “Falling,” Lojay originally serves up an intoxicating feel-good love song that captures the feeling of being drunk in the presence of someone who possesses every inch of your heart. The track flows effortlessly with dreamy melodies, lush harmonies, and an infectious beat that pulls you in like gravity. The production’s smooth, punchy, and undeniably groovy warmth perfectly fits a day spent at least slightly in a haze, fantasizing about that special someone. It’s the type of song that makes love feel light, easy, and magnetic.
Just as love can float you on a cloud, it can also drop you hard. That’s where “Unleash” enters the picture. The complete opposite of its counterpart, this track is raw, explosive, and emotional. But as Lojay strips the shiny veneer away from romance, he lays bare the mayhem that lurks beneath when desire becomes something darker. The production is rich and intense, and his evocative vocals are cinematic. It’s a song and an outlet for frustration, pain, and raw emotion.
Together, “Falling” and “Unleash” span the story of love, from the euphoric beginning to the bumpy aftermath. It’s a story that feels intensely individual but has universal resonance. It’s that Lojay navigates so authentically that renders the release so special. He makes moments that stick long past a fade out.
With “Falling/Unleash,” Lojay pushes Afrobeats further and reminds us that the guy’s genre is as expansive and kinetic as the feelings it encapsulates. More than music, this dual release is an experience that fans will have on repeat as they experience their love stories.
