Oxlade’s upcoming album blends his past, present, and future into an all-encompassing vision, connected by the young star’s impeccable vocals and facility with multiple musical styles. The album is home to singles including “Intoxycated” ft. Dave, the 2023 single that reached the Top 50 of the UK Singles Chart and earned acclaim from The New York Times, both halves of the double “KATIGORI/PIANO” single, and “Arabambi,” the gorgeous Summer 2024 single that recently inspired a delicate Acoustic Version. The upcoming album spans 16 tracks, adding new songs featuring Popcaan, Wande Coal, Flavour, Fally Ipupa, and many more.
Oxlade’s upcoming debut album continues the momentum from Oxlade’s massive 2022 hit, “Ku Lo Sa“, which racked up over 541 million global streams. Oxlade’s rise to mainstream recognition continued in full force last year with a nomination for Best Afrobeats Song at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards. Oxlade’s BBMA nomination followed a strong showing at the 2023 Headie Awards, where he received four nominations including Best Song Of The Year and Best Recording Of The Year. Just before, Oxlade raised his profile with incredible live performances, including a performance with Usher at the Global Citizen Festival in Ghana, and a performance alongside Wizkid at the Accor Arena in France.
This month, Oxlade prepares to perform concerts in Europe. On August 9th, Ox travels to Portugal to perform at Sudoeste Festival, and heads to Nice on August 13th. Stay tuned for more information about Oxlade’s shows soon.
