Afrobeats Prince Oxlade is making waves on the global stage with the release of his debut album, ‘Oxlade From Africa (OFA)’. This highly anticipated project reflects the Afro-Pop star’s desire to represent not just Surulere, Lagos, or Nigeria, but the entire Continent. The multi-award winner pays homage to Africa’s elegance and beauty through his music, fashion, and imagery. Oxlade aims to make Africans proud of their heritage and culture by celebrating the richness of the Motherland.
‘Oxlade from Africa’ is a blend of Afrobeats, Afro-Swing, Amapiano, Coupé-Décalé and R’n’B. The singer’s distinctive vocals bounce on infectious rhythms, all expertly crafted under Spax’s meticulous supervision. The album is a global representation of Africa featuring artists from the Continent, the Diaspora and the Caribbean. Oxlade collaborates with Bobi Wine, Dave, Fally Ipupa, Flavour, Ojahbee, Popcaan, Sarkodie, Tomi Owó and Wande Coal to bring a fresh spin on Afrobeats. This body of work offers fans unique insights into Oxlade’s artistry curating a rich listening experience.
On ‘OFA’, Oxlade displays his exceptional talent, intricate storytelling, and musical versatility. The album tells his story as the Chosen One, guiding listeners through the Oxyverse—a world made up of four dimensions: Love, Pain, Hustle, and Joy. This release follows his recent single, ‘IFA’, his second of the year, featuring Congolese legend Fally Ipupa. The track offers an exciting glimpse into what the rest of the project has in store.
Oxlade has firmly established himself as a dominant force in the music industry. His impressive achievements include a double platinum certification for ‘Ku Lo Sa’ in Switzerland and platinum certifications in Canada, France, and Germany. With chart-topping hits and collaborations with legendary artists like Bob Marley and Whitney Houston, Oxlade continues to prove he is a generational artist. Last year’s massive collaboration with Dave, ‘Intoxycated’, reached the Top 50 on the UK chart. His prowess was further validated by mega-stars Usher and Wizkid, who shared the stage with him in Ghana and Paris, respectively. Most recently, Oxlade performed to an audience of 157,000 people at Sudoeste, solidifying his status as a global music sensation.
Oxlade invites the world to experience his debut album, ‘Oxlade From Africa (OFA)’, an amazing body of work that highlights his artistry and creative vision. He is set to embark on a highly anticipated North American tour, starting on October 2, 2024, bringing the vibrant energy of his groundbreaking release to audiences across the continent. The tour promises an unforgettable live showcase of his talent and dynamic performances.
