Nigerian singer-songwriter Seyi Vibez returns with a brand new single, Pressure, following the release of his recent EP Children of Africa. Marking his first track performed entirely in English and released via EMPIRE, Pressure sees Seyi blending his signature street-pop and afro-fusion styles with a new, more spiritual and melodic sound. First teased in February, the highly anticipated single offers a personal glimpse into Seyi’s relentless pursuit of love and his determination to give his all.
With a growing list of high-profile collaborations—including Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, Black Sherif, NLE Choppa, and BNXN—Seyi Vibez continues to solidify his presence on the global stage. Speaking on the new release, he shares:
“‘Pressure’ is a complete switch from my usual style. This track leans more into melody, intimacy, and emotion. It’s smoother, softer, and shows a different side of me. I wanted to experiment to show growth and versatility. It’s about love, care, and the power of attention. Sometimes the real flex isn’t loud; it’s how you apply pressure in quiet, meaningful ways.”
Born Balogun Afolabi Oluwaloseyi, Seyi Vibez has quickly risen to become one of the most distinctive voices in Nigeria’s vibrant music scene. Often dubbed the “King of Street Vibes,” he’s recognized for his unique fusion of Street-Pop, Afrobeats, Afro-Pop, and Afro-Fusion. Since his breakout hit, Seyi has amassed over 2 billion streams globally, including more than 600 million on Spotify alone, attesting to his wide-reaching impact and growing fanbase.
What sets Seyi apart is his innovative incorporation of traditional Yoruba spirituality, particularly indigenous prayers, into modern sonic frameworks. This creative blend honors his cultural roots and expands the boundaries of contemporary African music. Known for his raw storytelling, emotional vulnerability, and street-savvy lyricism, Seyi Vibez continues to evolve as a bold and influential force shaping the future of Afrocentric sound.
