NEW MUSIC | LAGOS-BASED AFROBEATS DUO PLAYAZ UNLEASH NEW SINGLE “I WONDER” FROM NEW EP

By Rishma • On What is New

Already blow­ing up online with their hugely vir­al singles “Mad Oh” and “Show Dem”, Lagos-based Afrobeats duo Playaz unveil their brand-new single “I Won­der”, the lead single from their new Play­so­und EP.

Doub­ling down on their infec­tious Afrobeats sound, “I Won­der” is anoth­er mas­ter stroke from Playaz. Call­ing on simple yet irres­ist­ible Afro rhythms, a buoy­ant melody and over­all ten­a­cious energy, it reaf­firms the duo’s abil­ity to make dance ready tunes and sure-fire hits. Tak­ing it up a notch with the video, the play­ful duo come through with cool, dance focused visu­al that doesn’t lack in energy or cre­at­ive flair.

Afore­men­tioned, the new drop comes along­side the release of their latest EP. A self-pro­duced 7 track effort fea­tur­ing the likes of Jaiçe, Bizzy Salifu and Afrobeats giant Zlatan Ibile, Play­so­und is a lively mix of uptempo heat­ers like “Makosa” and sen­su­al cuts like “Col­our” and “Use Me”.

Throw in the “Mad Oh”, with over 3 mil­lion streams across plat­forms and heavy rota­tion on radio and TV in Africa & bey­ond, Playaz prove they are far from your aver­age Afrobeats act.

Acclaimed song­writers and pro­du­cers in Niger­ia and abroad, Playaz stake their claim with their first solo pro­ject, Play­so­und. A suc­cinct col­lec­tion of great sounds and mind-blow­ing records which puts them firmly shoulder to shoulder with their contemporaries.
