When Nigerian R&B singer, Tems, serenaded listeners on the hook of the crossover hit single—”Essence”—to the “You don’t need no other body” words, she indeed might have meant it in the relationship and/or sexual context but those words, those lyrics have gone on to have a life of their own outside the contextual or colloquial insinuation. This is very evident with the records the track keeps amassing, creating some in the process. The week starting 12th Ocotber (according to Billboard’s known style of uploading their weekly updated charts on Tuesdays) will see the pair of Nigerian Pop and R&B acts, Wizkid and Tems create a groundbreaking statement no other Nigerian artistes has ever made—the remix to “Essence” will make its debut on The Billboard Hot Top 10.

“Essence” was initially released almost a year ago, October 30th to be precise as part of Wizkid’s fourth studio-album, “Made In Lagos” and it soon became the rave of town both home and abroad, even being teased as one of the topmost songs of the summer 2021; its remix however came some ten months later, on August 13th, featuring American popstar, Justin Bieber.

Some few weeks later, the remix debuted on The Billboard Hot 100, even making it to the Top 20, peaking at No. 13, a record for any Nigerian song and artiste(s) at that time; this time around, it moves three spots upward to the No. 10 on the chart, becoming the first Nigerian song to make an entry into the Top 10 of the prestigious Billboard Hot 100 chart, invariably making both Wizkid and his featured guest, Tems, the first pair of Nigerian acts to have a song reaching that high on the chart usually dominated by American artistes and songs reigning in the USA. A historical moment for Wiz, Tems, Nigerian music industry and Africa at large.

Nigerian creative kayode Pelumi, comes through with new extended playlist Earcraft, a 6mins body of work comprising of two song, Sope and Hallelujah with his fellow wordsmith Tiirii as a guest artist on the later.
The theme of Earcraft crowns Pelumi PK’s long run on the switching back and forth with rap and vocals on songs like “Amin” with talking points revolving around life, it’s ups and down and his desire to make it regardless of his current situations a slice of readiness for its uncertainty with raw optimism. Pelumi PK is thankful on Sope for his blessings while asking for more, but takes it to another level with Hallelujah with Tiirii, with Pelumi PK rapping about his innermost desire to make it, without ignoring the fact that he is taking a risk, his optimism outweighs his pessimism, with lines like “even though the road is long, je kin pada wale”.

Generally Earcraft is an impressive project which sees a versatile Pelumi PK switch styles effortlessly with no atom of fear while still passing across the message with Tiirii bringing his A game as well.

When we reached out to him for his Motivation, his response was apt “I have seen it all, that’s why i treat my music like a sermon and positivity is the message that I pass across, because I can’t be insensitive to the uncertainties of life and how it fate is a fickle mistress, that’s why I stay optimistic and back my heart desires with prayer”

Earcraft will be available worldwide on Friday. Preorder
