Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Lojay, real name Lekan Osifeso Jr, is turning up the heat with the release of his latest single, “Tenner,” a soulful, genre-blending track that marks his third official single of 2025.
The new release follows “Mwah,” featuring Odeal, and the fan favorite “Somebody Like You.”
Produced by Black Culture, “Tenner” sees Lojay glide effortlessly over a lush soundscape that fuses smooth Afrobeats percussion with alt-pop stylings.
His signature vocals, emotive, velvety, and piercing, anchor the track as he explores themes of longing, vulnerability, and emotional connection.
Serving as a sneak peek into his forthcoming debut album, XOXO, slated for release on August 22, 2025, the single is both moody and melodic, showing Lojay’s evolving artistry. It’s the kind of song that hits deep but still makes you move.
