Afro-soul and Afro-pop rising star BoyPee (real name Sopuru Precious) returns with his first solo release of 2025, “First Sight.” This haunting ballad explores the raw vulnerability of heartbreak and emotional betrayal.
Coming off a breakout year highlighted by his feature on Rord Kelly’s “Chikito” and the massively successful “Ogechi (Remix)” with Davido, which dominated the Official Nigeria TurnTable Top 100—BoyPee uses First Sight to show a more introspective, soul-baring side.
With 1.3 million monthly Spotify listeners, his fanbase continues to grow as he taps deeper into emotional storytelling.
First Sight is an Afro-soul slow-burn laced with delicate Afro-pop textures. With lines that hint at a once-beautiful connection now mired in betrayal—
“I saw forever in your eyes, but you were just wearing a disguise…”
—BoyPee expresses the sting of deceit with rich, aching vocals and minimal yet emotionally charged instrumentation.
The production leans into subtle piano chords, ambient synths, and gentle percussive rhythms that allow the emotional gravity of his voice to take center stage. It’s a record that feels personal, relatable, and cinematic—perfect for late-night reflection or quiet catharsis.
With First Sight, BoyPee continues to prove that he’s more than a viral hitmaker. He’s a compelling voice in the new wave of Nigerian artists who are unafraid to mix cultural identity with emotional truth, offering a sound that is both rooted and resonant.
