Mp3bullet.ng shares insight into the glory of Fireboy’s edging force as the Apollo of the new school.
Just like the Roman deity, Apollo, whose poetry, healing, and music skills are unmatched, Fireboy DML measures in the uniqueness of such qualities.
The young force took a leap into the front scene in 2018 with his dynamic single, ‘Jealous‘; a rendition delivered in pop, and RnB, of which he later ascribed to his own sound, ‘Afro-life’.
Journeying into the mainstream the singer released his debut project the year after, November 2019, “Laughter Tears & Goosebumps (LTG).”
Upon arrival, Fireboy sprung into a superstar cadre, having to compete for the Next Rated Of The Year.
Then, the following year on the 19th of August, 2020, Fireboy DML released his second studio album, “Apollo“!
Just like his debut release in characterization to the Roman god, Apollo was a stand-out project.
“Like any young artist culling from creative movements on the ground and across the internet, Fireboy plucks from a cornucopia of influences. With Afro-life, he tinctures his chameleonic R&B with subtle hints of pop, Afrobeats, and dance music, producing a cocktail of R&B whether he intends to or not”, Pitchfork describes the LP.

Fireboy & The Apollo of the new school!
Amongst the sons of the Greek god ‘Zeus’, Apollo is a unique figure whose significance is as a result of his attributes which include; poetry, medicine, music, and all these have been infused into the musical spores of Fireboy.
Having a Zeus-type father in this challenging music space, ‘Olamide‘, his music benefactor upholds a close mark in claiming that title for the youngster.
Just like Wande Coal, who would comfortably profess to be the Apollo of the previous generation with Don Jazzy as his god-father.
Uniquely, Wande Coal and Fireboy share a close bond that many have clearly pointed out. The famous track, ‘Spell’, off his Apollo album affirmed it to a large extent.
