Rema Revamps Afrobeats in New Album to Preserve Genre’s Integrity
Rema, a renowned Nigerian singer, recently discussed his decision to revamp the Afrobeats genre in his sophomore album, ‘He Is.’ He believes that the genre was becoming monotonous due to his peers diluting its essence, prompting him to innovate and maintain its relevance. Rema highlighted in an Apple Music interview that Nigerian musicians often prioritize foreign opinions on Afrobeats, impacting their enthusiasm for the genre.
At his London album listening party, Rema urged Nigerian artists to reclaim ownership of Afrobeats to prevent foreign artists from co-opting and winning awards in the genre. He emphasized that continually diluting the music would make it easier for others to recreate it, warning that this would lead to losing the unique essence of Afrobeats.
Rema’s new album ‘HEIS’ showcases his bold creativity, featuring energetic production, dynamic delivery, and authentic Afrobeats lyrics with a rockstar edge. The album’s launch has received mixed reactions, with some praising his innovative approach and others debating the quality of the output. Rema’s message remains clear: Nigerian artists must protect and own their music to preserve its integrity and cultural significance.
Two Nigerian music stars, Rema and Asake, have earned a place in former U.S. President Barack Obama’s annual list of favorite songs for 2024.
On Saturday, Obama shared his handpicked selection of tracks from the year, and both artists’ songs were included.
Rema’s hit single Yayo and Asake’s collaboration with Travis Scott on Active made the prestigious list..
The list also saw the inclusion of another African artist, South Africa’s Tyla, who was featured for her song Jump, a track featuring Gunna and Skillibeng.
In addition to the African stars, Nigerian-American singers Shaboozey and Jordan Adetunji also appeared on Obama’s playlist.
Shaboozey’s A Bar Song and Adetunji’s Kehlani were celebrated for their unique sound, adding diversity to the mix.
As expected, the list also featured big names from the global music scene, with legendary artists like Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Karol G all making an appearance.
These mainstream stars continue to dominate the music industry, but Obama’s inclusion of emerging artists such as Rema and Asake shows his appreciation for a variety of musical genres.
On sharing his list with his followers via X (formerly Twitter), Obama encouraged fans to explore the tracks, saying, “Here are my favorite songs from this year!
Check them out if you’re looking to shake up your playlist, and let me know if there’s a song or artist I should make sure to listen to.”
