Afro-fusion virtuoso Lojay officially steps into a defining chapter of his artistry with his debut full-length album, XOXO, a 14-track tapestry of romance, introspection, and rhythmic seduction.
Renowned for his melodic prowess and genre-bending finesse, Lojay curates a body of work that glides effortlessly between silky Afrobeats rhythms and R&B sensuality, his smooth vocals glimmering over lush soundscapes that balance emotion with groove.
Executive-produced by P.Priime, Rexxie, and other sonic architects, XOXO captures the ever-shifting shades of love from playful flirtations to deep vulnerability.
The album’s production blends vibrant percussion, ambient synths, and soulful hooks, evoking both late-night confessions and sun-drenched escapes.
Now with a full-length project under his belt, Lojay cements his status as one of Nigeria’s most distinctive voices, crafting music that speaks as much to the heart as it does to the dance floor.
XOXO unfolds like a love letter in motion, every track pulsing with intimacy and self-awareness. Lojay’s velvety tone and meticulous attention to detail anchor the project’s sonic world, one where traditional highlife nuances meet trap cadences and soft reggaeton undertones.
The album’s collaborations deepen its emotional palette:
- Odeal lends ethereal harmonies to the sultry Mwah!
- Feid infuses Latin warmth into Body, transforming it into a slow-burning cross-cultural gem
- Tyla’s golden vocals illuminate Memories with tender reflection
- Victony injects kinetic energy into Sawa, turning it into a heartfelt anthem
Meanwhile, solo standouts like Shiver and Jericho showcase Lojay’s dynamic range, shifting from high-energy grooves to stripped-back ballads in a way that makes XOXO a truly zero-skips experience.
Visually and thematically cohesive, the album’s red-hued cover art depicting Lojay in a dimly lit crimson chamber mirrors the sensual warmth and emotional gravity woven through each song.
More than just a debut, XOXO feels like a culmination of Lojay’s evolution, a project that not only honors Afrobeats’ lineage but also redefines its emotional language for a global audience.
