After the resounding success of his debut album, “Sad Romance Deluxe,” and the chart-topping collaboration “HALLELUJAH” with Blaqbonez, CKay is poised to enchant audiences once again with the release of two new singles: “MYSTERIOUS LOVE” and “IS IT YOU?”. Set to debut on January 26, 2024, just in time for the Valentine’s season, these love-themed tracks are anticipated to elevate CKay’s already impressive musical repertoire.
The centrepiece of this double release is the mesmerising track “MYSTERIOUS LOVE,” accompanied by an official music video. The premiere time of the video will be announced shortly. The second single, “IS IT YOU?,” will be complemented by an engaging lyric video, with the official music video scheduled for release on February 9, 2024.
Known for seamlessly blending Amapiano, Afrobeats, and Pop into his unique Emo-Afrobeats sound, CKay continues to push the boundaries of musical expression. Both “MYSTERIOUS LOVE” and “IS IT YOU?” showcase his ability to craft a sonic atmosphere that resonates across genres, promising an enchanting listening experience for fans.
In 2023, CKay achieved remarkable milestones with the deluxe release of “Sad Romance,” featuring hit tracks like “Nwayi,” “capture my soul (feat. Joeboy),” and “NNEKA (feat. Tekno).” The lead single, “HALLELUJAH,” soared to #1 on the Apple Music Daily chart, Nigeria, accumulating over 33 million streams.
Beyond his solo endeavours, CKay collaborated on various successful projects, including “Trumpet” with Olamide and the Grammy-nominated “Know Better” on Janelle Monáe’s The Age of Pleasure. He further expanded his global reach by joining forces with British songstress Tamera on “40 Days.”
In a groundbreaking move, CKay announced his collaboration with Ralph Lauren, becoming the brand’s first African Face. The partnership commenced with the launch of the Polo Oud fragrance, showcasing CKay’s influence beyond the realm of music.
Entering 2024 with an impressive 3 billion career streams, CKay takes the stage once again with “MYSTERIOUS LOVE” and “IS IT YOU?,” both co-produced by himself and Reward Beats. The tracks are a testament to his continued musical evolution and unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional artistry.
As CKay aptly puts it: “Love Nwantiti went viral 2 years after release, and my life changed in the blink of an eye. I was travelling the world, promoting and performing my music for 2 years straight. I got to a point of physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion, so I had to take a break. But I’m back and better with my best work yet.”
He further adds, “I decided to release two singles to give my fans a listening experience, not just a song. After my silence, it was only right. I’ve encountered love on so many levels and dimensions, so most of my music is about love. This is no exception.”
CKay’s latest musical offerings are a testament to his artistic prowess and an exciting addition to the evolving landscape of Emo-Afrobeats and African music at large.
It’s like you gave me a sneak peek into CKay’s heart and soul. Your enthusiasm for the Afrobeats maestro’s artistry was palpable, and now I’m eagerly hitting play on these romantic tunes.
