Nigerian producer and creative force Asapthedj is back with a fresh romantic Afropop single, “Liquor,” and this time he teams up again with Brown Joel, Boypee, and Hyce.
The collaboration feels natural from the very first second. When these three artists connect on a record, there is always a special kind of musical chemistry, and “Liquor” proves that once again.
This new release leans fully into modern Afropop romance, giving listeners a song that talks about love in a soft, expressive way. It is the kind of track you play during a late-night drive, when you’re thinking about someone special, or when you just want music that feels warm and comforting.
Smooth Sound and Simple Love Message
One of the best things about this song is how smooth everything sounds. The production is warm and rhythmic, with soft drums and light melodies that allow the vocals to shine. Instead of loud or aggressive beats, the song chooses a calmer vibe that matches its love theme.
The vocal exchanges between Brown Joel, Boypee, and Hyce feel like a heartfelt conversation between someone deeply in love and afraid of losing that special person.
They take turns pouring out emotions in a way that sounds honest and vulnerable. In the song, they sing lines like, “How many times I’m on my knees, see I no go play your love like Ronaldo,” showing that they are serious about love and not ready to joke with it.
When they add, “If you no give me love I commit o,” it expresses how strongly they feel, not in a harmful way, but as a dramatic way of saying they truly need that love in their life.”
Another emotional moment comes with, “I’m on my knees o, if you no dey wetin go do my steeze,” which simply means that without this person, they don’t feel complete or confident. The line, “God forbid you dey leave my side,” highlights fear of separation, while “Na liquor you dey dirty my eyes” compares love to something intoxicating, like a drink that makes you feel dizzy and overwhelmed.
Finally, “How I go wake up if I no see you tonight” shows longing and deep attachment, like they cannot imagine a day without seeing the one they love.
The message of the song is still clear and easy to understand. It talks about loving someone so much that you don’t want to lose them. It focuses on commitment, closeness, and emotional dependence in a way that many young people can relate to. The lyrics are simple, expressive, and direct, making the song easy to sing along to while still carrying real emotion.
Why This Afropop Love Song Stands Out
In today’s music scene, especially in the Afrobeats and Afropop genres, many songs focus on partying or flexing. This track is different. It slows things down and puts love at the center. That alone makes it refreshing.
Another reason the song stands out is the natural synergy between the artists. Brown Joel’s smooth tone balances well with Boypee’s melodic delivery, while Hyce adds emotional depth. None of them tries to overpower the other. Instead, they complement each other, creating a balanced sound.
The chorus is catchy without being too loud or dramatic. After one listen, you might find yourself humming it without even trying. That replay value is important because it shows the song was crafted carefully.
A Preview of “The Spontaneous Boy”
This single also serves as a preview of Asapthedj’s upcoming album, The Spontaneous Boy. If this release is anything to go by, fans can expect more heartfelt storytelling and well-planned collaborations.
Asapthedj clearly understands how to bring artists together in a way that feels meaningful. He does not just put big names on a track; he makes sure their styles align. That careful selection is what makes this collaboration feel genuine rather than random.
With The Spontaneous Boy album on the way, this release sets the tone for what could be one of Asapthedj’s most emotionally engaging projects yet.
If you are searching for a new Afropop love song to add to your playlist, this one deserves a spot.
