As the sonic footprint for Afropop continues to reach across the world, the pulse of popular music from west Africa is re-awakening connective tissues that exist between emigrants and their home countries while opening new lanes of expression in a number of artists. Ukraine-based Nigerian singer, Lagracemusic, is at the of this uniquely 21st-century exchange of culture, mining the lived experiences he had growing up in Surulere around the early 2000s into warm, textured Afropop.
Some of the singer`s dispatches like “Chocomilo,” Wake Up,” and “Shaye ” have shown a singer in the midst of a blistering, exciting come-up. Whatever the subject matter might behedonistic thrills, bleeding heart romance, a quest for social mobility or a gentle call for normalcyLagracemusic continues to find a way to spin words and melodies to his will. In his latest song, “Wait,” the singer interrogates the nature of romance over a simple melodic foundation.
Produced by Andre Vibez, “Wait” is an earnest for companionship that is both pithy and affirmative, carefully placing the focus on his attraction to a potential love interest. The song`s buttery production accentuates the message of Lagracemusic, making for a warm beginning to the year for the young and exciting singer.
The video shot in Ukraine is eye candy and a perfect visual representation of such a sweet record.
