A new year means a new direction for many believers.
For those who’ve set goals to express more gratitude, Spotify has crafted playlists with songs that express the essence of salvation. If you’re trying to be more prayerful, these playlists will ignite the prayer warrior in you too.
Praise and Worship
This playlist is 80 songs long, featuring Nigerian artists like Kent Edunjobi, South Africa’s Christina Shusho and the U.S’s Maverick City Music. A perfect balance of home and abroad gospel jams.
On Bended Knees
This playlist is long enough to take you through a five-hour prayer session. May the good Lord answer our prayers.
Aseda
Before the Yorùbá in you translates “aseda” to mean “creator”, know that it also means “gratitude” in Twi, a language spoken by the Ashanti in Ghana. That’s what this playlist is about. It’s made for you if you’re looking to explore gospel music from the Gold Coast.
Redeemed
A mixed all-African playlist featuring gospel artists like Lanre Teriba (Nigeria) and Malcom Rue (Uganda) and secular acts like Mr Eazi (Nigeria) and Khaligraph Jones (Kenya). This playlist recognises the faith-based perspectives of everyone; it’s a proper deception of “everyone is welcome to the fold.”
I had no more tears left to cry when I lost my mum four years ago. Prior to her demise, she’d been bedridden for a year and even though I hoped otherwise, I knew the end was near. Those days at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), she lost her speech, and the only way we could connect was through music.
We had a routine. I’d plug my pods in her ears, select a song and watch her attempt to hum the familiar gospel melodies and trending afrobeats songs. It was both beautiful and sad.
She died a month after we started this routine, and I found myself trying to relive the memories we shared during her final moments. Music was the only thing that helped, but not just any music. Gospel was too solemn, foreign music felt, well, foreign to my emotions.
And afrobeats was noisy, until I finally found these particular songs that gave me the familiar sensation I wanted.
“If I Die” by Dagrin
Dagrin’s “If I Die” easily ranks as one of the most controversial Nigerian songs, and the reason isn’t far-fetched. Who records a track about their own death weeks before dying? With lyrics like “If I die, If I die, make you no cry for me. E jen simi, e jor kejen mi,” I’ve never related more, for someone whose mum was ready to embrace death at the time she left.
“Olumoranti” by Niyola
When Niyola released this song in 2020, I was compelled to use it on a compilation of my mum’s photos and videos, even though it wasn’t her death anniversary. The profound lyrics found melodious ways to say things I didn’t know I wanted to say.
“I pray, I pray, I don’t stop thinking about you. I know you’ll surely wait for me. You’re still here inside my heart”. The very thought of forgetting my mother because of death? No, death shouldn’t have that much power over anyone. And Niyola captures this so perfectly well in “Olumoranti”.
“Olorun Mi” by Tiwa Savage
Death was a stranger to me when Tiwa Savage recorded a tribute to fallen stars and heroes in 2013. I knew it was a sad song, I just didn’t know how sad. Six years later, her lyrics “Olorun mi gba adura mi. When you take all the ones we love. We’ll carry on, and it won’t be long. I pray to be strong. Olorun mi gba adura mi oh” became a mantra that made moving on a little easier.
“Ashes” by M.I Abaga
Rap was the last thing I wanted to hear while I was grieving, but I discovered M.I’s tribute to the Aluu 4, the Port Harcourt students brutally murdered by the mob in a local community in 2012. The rapper used music as a tool to express hurt and speak against societal ills. Lines like, “The reason I’m gone. Let it be told, let it be known and turned into a song” resonated deeply with me.
“Legends Can Never Die” by Davido
“LCND” was a tribute to the singer’s late son, Ifeanyi, and other friends he’s lost over the years. He opens the track with the reflective line, “Make I tell you something, life is not fair,” and goes on to describe his loved ones as legends who are shooting stars in the sky. While the track might have been a bit too much at the early stages of grief, it was a favourite because it came out when I’d fully come to terms with my mum’s passing. It’s the perfect afrobeat song for celebrating the lives of those who’ve passed.
“Dad’s Song” by Teni
One of the hardest things about losing a parent at a young age is coming to terms with the fact that they’ll never see you become more. This was Teni’s state of mind when she recorded “Dad’s Song” in 2021. She opens the track with notable career achievements she made in her dad’s absence and how he’d have wished to witness it all. The singer’s pain was all too familiar. Like her, my mum left way too early, missing out on important milestones that were only possible because of how much she sacrificed.
With lines like “Eru o bami, you’re standing by me. Eru o bami, you’re always next to me”, this song offers reassurance that our lost ones will always watch over us even though they’re no longer there.
These days, “Afrobeats to the world” has moved from a saying to an actual movement. Nigerian artists like Wizkid, Burna Boy, Fireboy DML and Tems are topping the charts and having fun with stars like Drake, Rihanna and Beyoncé. But while the world has taken notice of Afropop, it wasn’t always like this. Thinking back to when I fell back in love with Nigerian music thanks to Tay Iwar’s 2013 song The Box, I decided to talk to other Nigerians about the time they finally realised that Nigerian music is the shit.
“Listening to Davido’s Fall for the first time in an Atlanta club changed everything for me”
— Koye
As a second-generation Nigerian in the US, I never really connected with Nigerian music. My family raised me on the classics like Sunny Ade and Ebenezer Obey, but in trying to fit in with white kids, my taste shifted to rock and metal as I got older. In 2017, I eventually moved to Atlanta — a predominantly black city — and that’s how I got re-introduced to Nigerian music.
On a night out with some of my co-workers, I heard Davido’s Fall for the first time. To see everyone in the club, including non-Nigerians and non-blacks singing along to this Nigerian song changed everything. I still love rock and heavy metal, but that hasn’t stopped me from knowing all the words to Davido’s Fall and Jowo.
“I didn’t connect to female Nigerian artists until I saw the video for Kele KeleLove by Tiwa Savage”
— Nicole
Before seeing the video for Tiwa Savage’s Kele Kele Love in 2010, I just didn’t feel like Nigerian women made music for girls like me. I love and respect all the women that were making music at the time, but seeing that video and hearing that song made me go, “Whoa! That’s a no-nonsense, sexy, bad bitch like me.”
She wasn’t afraid to be sexy and to sing about whatever she felt like — I loved that. She blazed the trail for all the new girls and that’s on period.
“I don’t think I remember life before Asa’s Awe”
— Lolu
I know it’s cliché, but Asa’s Awe changed my life. Before I listened to Asa’s self-titled album, my idea of Nigerian music was songs I could dance to in the club and not songs I could listen to for great storytelling. And to be honest, it was fine that way. It wasn’t until I went on a road trip with my brother from Lagos to Ibadan and he played that album over and over again that it clicked for me. It wasn’t just the melodies or vocals for me; it was the deep, rich stories she told with every word and every sound. Now I listen to other artists like Bez, Lindsey Abudei and The Cavemen (even though I don’t get what they’re saying, I feel super connected to the music.
By the way, Awe is the reason I started writing short stories. So when I say that song changed my life, I mean it.
“Cruel Santino, Amaarae and Shane Eagle made something magical with Rapid Fire”
— Hassan
I didn’t even know alté was a thing until my friend dragged me out for a show in 2018 and Cruel Santino and his crew came out to perform Rapid Fire. My memory of it is the feeling that came with seeing the whole place turn into a mosh pit of people jumping and screaming at the top of their lungs. For someone indifferent to Nigerian music at the time, just seeing all of this sent shivers down my spine. Every time I listen to Santino’s music now, it just takes me back to that moment.
I wasn’t into Nigerian music before because of what I was hearing on the radio, but Cruel Santino introduced me to a new type of Nigerian sound.
“Niniola’s Maradona changed the game for me”
— Uchenna
I remember hearing Niniola’s Maradona for the first time and just knowing that this song was going to be the sound of the future. And lowkey, I was right. It was around the time I was falling in love with South African club sounds from artists like Bucie and Black Coffee, so it just worked perfectly. Niniola and Sarz took a huge risk with songs like that and now we have a lot of artists making songs like Maradona. It wasn’t like I didn’t like Nigerian music, I just didn’t care until I heard this bop in 2017.
“Temi Dollface’s pen game on Pata Pata made me pause, listen and go ’Who is she?”
— Sammie
This chick came, dropped like two hit songs and disappeared. Why? When Pata Pata dropped in 2013, a lot of artists were doing the same thing, using the same producers and adopting the same formula. We didn’t have variety and then this girl came in singing, “Pour me a drink and I’ll tell you a lie. Baby what would you like to hear? That I’m in love with you and all the things you do. You know that wouldn’t be sincere.”
Ladies and gentlemen, that’s how you open a song. That is songwriting and the song that made me go, “Oh shit, Nigerian singers dey write o!”
Every holiday is stressful, but you see Valentine’s Day? That one is another level of wahala, and it’s not even an official holiday. From saxophonists and dispatch riders running helter skelter to single people pretending not to care that they’re booless, it’s always dramatic as hell. With music being the one thing that unites all of us — single, taken or betrothed — through the chaos and stress, we collaborated with TurnTable Charts to compile a list of the songs topping the charts this Valentine’s season. Looking at data from streaming and radio, these are the songs everyone is vibing to in the name of the Valentine spirit.
[newsletter]
14. Aye — Davido
Before Davido fell and found assurance, he reminded us that love doesn’t cost a thing when he dropped Aye in 2014. With artists dropping back to back bops that year, Aye had us in a major chokehold, especially when we remember the music video that felt like a scene from Super Story. This song is also a reminder that Davido has been seeing things in women’s eyes for a long time — first it was love, and now it’s waists. Interesting.
Standout lyric: “She no want designer. She no want Ferari. She say na my love o.”
Please, where can we find a love like this in these Buhari times? Boda David, show us the way.
13. Baby Jowo — Victor Uwaifo
We know people throw the word “iconic” around a lot these days, but Baby Jowo is actually super iconic. Over 30 years later and this song is still popping, either in its original form or the remix featuring 2Face Idibia. The fact that people are streaming it shows that it’s not only millennials and Gen Zs that love to celebrate Valentine’s Day, mummy and daddy do usually do love too, dears.
Standout lyric: “Ko wa fife tutu s’aya mi o.”
Hot love is good, but you see cold love? Much better mehn.
12. If Love is a Crime — 2Face Idibia
We can’t believe 2Face Idibia really sat down in 2006 to write a song about his willingness to be hunted down like bush meat in the name of love. We love love over here, but for us, that’s a little extreme. But isn’t that what love is about? Doing whatever it takes to prove how much someone means to you? Even though we can’t relate to most of these things because we don’t like to be stressed, there’s no denying that 2Face Idibia was in his premium lover boy bag when he dropped this jam.
Standout line: “Girl, if love is a crime then I’m willing to be wanted”.
Honestly, this is the energy we’re looking for in 2022.
11. Kuchi Kuchi — J’odie
Couples would probably hate us for saying this, but Valentine’s Day is not just about you and your annoying teddy bears and flowers, it’s for everybody. As much as the world has turned this season into a lover’s thing, the truth is, Valentine is a time for everyone to love and be loved. Jodie’s Kuchi Kuchi is a good example of the variety of love we can express this season as it talks about a mother’s love for her child.
Standout line: “You make me cry. Laughter is not enough. I’ve seen true beauty because I see you.”
Cue the tears. Awwwwwww.
10. Smile for Me — Simi
If there’s one thing we’ve learnt from listening to Simi’s music, it’s that this babe is always all in. From Tiff to Duduke, Simi doesn’t play when it comes to this love thing. On Smile for Me, we find her convincing her lover to take risk and succeed. Heartbreak is possible, but there’s also premium enjoyment involved.
Standout lyric: “I want to be the one wey you fit die for.”
Die? Simi, dear, love is great but let’s be calming down.
9. Melo Melo — Olamide
Olamide is hands down one of the most versatile acts on the Nigerian scene. Since dropping Eni Duro, the hitmaker has been consistent year after year with almost ten albums to his name. Although Olamide rarely puts out lovey dovey songs, Melo Melo is that one song on the rapper’s discography that really gets us in our feels. Do we understand half of the proverbs he’s using to declare his love? No. But that doesn’t make the song any less romantic to us.
Standout lyric: “I know I make some mistakes, but I don dey regret. Now I no go forget to cherish wetin we get.”
If you’ve ever dated a Nigerian man, you should be used to lines like this by now.
8. African Queen — 2Face Idibia
If we were ever invaded by aliens and they asked us for a playlist of the best Nigerian songs, this song would be on that list. But don’t worry, according to Hollywood, aliens don’t come to Africa, so we’re safe. This is definitely 2Face’s most popular song and rightfully so, because we’re convinced he put something in it. It’s been almost 20 years since he dropped it and we still feel butterflies in our bellies every time it comes up. This love thing sha.
Standout lyric: “I’ll give you my heart, my love, my body and my money”.
2Face, all of this is great, but we still want teddy bears and chocolate.
7. What’s Love Got to Do With It — Tina Turner
Omo, it’s looking like Tina Turner was doing this Blaqbonez love-antagonising thing long before he owned it. Like Ms. Tina said back in 1984, sometimes, love doesn’t pay. Just enjoy yourself and go. If you don’t involve your heart, the chances of eating breakfast or ending up in disgrace or with hot tears are pretty slim.
Standout lyric: “Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?”
Where’s the lie? But will the heart hear word? No.
6. The Way You Make Me Feel — Michael Jackson
It’s Michael Jackson. Do we need to say more? Okay: It’s Michael Jackson.
Standout lyric: “Hey pretty baby with the high heels on”
If you like ballet flats or sneakers, just know that you were not MJ’s type.
5. E Be Like Say — 2Face Idibia
We know elections are coming soon, but it looks like some of you are mistaking February 2022 for February 2023 because this song clearly talks about politics. Then again, as we said before, Valentine’s Day is not just for romantic love. Maybe some of you just really love Nigeria and we can’t stop you from celebrating that love as well. Good luck!
Standout Lyric: “Another year has come, and now you want my trust once more.”
Ahh 2Face, they didn’t even wait for 2023 — the lies have already started.
4. Yes/No — Banky W
Are we the only ones who picture Adesua every time we listen to a Banky love song now? Even if the video has a different video vixen, a part of us just sees Mr and Mrs W. God, when abeg? After carrying our singlehood to Shiloh, we’ve decided to stream this song consistently as a way of ministering into our non-existent relationships as we anticipate a yes from above.
Standout Lyric: “Tired of running around no delay. Make you no go look Uche face”
Makes you wonder, who is this Uche Nigerian musicians always sing about?
3. Tonight — Nonso Amadi
There’s something about this song that makes us want to open a bottle of wine, dim the lights, eat dinner by candlelight and just have some much-needed romance time. With this description, it comes as no surprise that everyone else has been streaming this song to get in the mood for Valentine. Can you really blame us? Nonso Amadi knew what he was doing when he recorded this song and he didn’t come to play at all.
Standout lyric: “My girl, she got a gun in her hand. And she got one at her man”.
We don’t support violence here. More love, less guns please.
2. Joromi — Simi
We love a woman that shoots her shots. In this song, we find Simi shooting her shot at Joromi who probably just wants to drink Mojito and go home. To be fair, it’s Folabi we should all blame for telling Simi lies in the first place. Did Simi’s gragra work? Well, according to the video, it did. Therefore, we encourage you on this day of love to go forth and shoot your shot. If it fails sha, please collect your L and buy ice cream.
Standout lyric: “I dey give you signal. Why you no day see me ah?”
As much as we love Simi’s enthusiasm, it’s important to free that person once in a while. You’re a happening babe abeg.
1. Shape of You — Ed Sheeran
Fun fact: So Ed Sheehan wrote this song for Rihanna, but our good sis said no. Ed went on to sing this song and since it dropped, we’ve not known peace. It’s like the All I Want for Christmas on Valentine’s Day and honestly, we’re not mad at it.
Standout lyric: “The club isn’t the best place to find a lover so the bar is where I go”.
Really Ed, the bar? Why not use that app where people do usually swindle in the name of romance?
Single people, you think we don’t know you guys are the ones listening to all these songs? Nice one dears. Since couples are busy coupling, it’s only fair that you keep busy as well. Your turn is coming, have faith.
Our ears are assaulted with love songs all year long. But then, on Valentine’s Day, the airwaves reach insulting heights. So, here’s a playlist dedicated to people like you and me, who are dedicated to living our best lives as haters on valentine’s day.
These are the songs you want to hear on February 14th if you can neither be with the one you love nor love the one you’re with.
1. Still Your Best — Giveon
Giveon is 5’8 and an unrepentant cheat who acts like the victim in all his songs. Always singing up and down like he’s a good person. You need that energy on the 14th.
2. Marvins Room — Drake
“Fuck that n**ga that you love so much,”is peak hater energy. Listen to this song while looking at pictures of your ex or the person you’re hating on, on February 14th. Don’t listen to the end sha, Drake got carried away at some point. Smh.
3. Gravity — Brent Faiyaz
I’m convinced there’s a Yoruba man in Brent Faiyaz. What does, “I don’t want you waiting too long, it’s too much to be your boyfriend,”even mean?
4. I Hate U — SZA
Very self-explanatory. You hate them, simple and short.
5. Don’t call me — Lil Kesh x Zinoleesky
“I’m so gee’d up my bro I’m sorry. If it’s not money don’t call me,” because love is obviously none of your business. You’re not being a hater sha, you’re prioritizing.
6. Crazy Tings — Tems
Love is obviously a crazy thing and people shouldn’t be doing it. Anyone who’s wasting time with love is obviously not normal.
7. Smokin Out The Window — Silk Sonic
Even if you’ve not paid a former lover’s rent or busted your ass to save their life, you’ve probably done enough for them to feel like passing out anytime you remember the things you once did. This song’s for you.
8. Heartbreaker — Blaqbonez
You can also moonlight as a toxic person while being a hater. Dip into your Blaqbonez energy and pick sex over love.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCYCWpjZyZQ
9. LEAVE ME ALONE — Amaarae
As you can see from the title, Amaarae is already shouting at you to leave her alone and that’s the same energy you’re going for on Valentine’s day.
10. Your own thoughts and feelings
Sit with your thoughts and ask yourself why you even let yourself catch feelings in the past. Why didn’t you just sit Sit with your thoughts and ask yourself why you even let yourself catch feelings in the past. Why didn’t you just sit down and eat your food? Another option is to think of creative ways to give lovers the middle finger. Think about it over and over till you come up with an album Drake would be proud of.
Some people hear a voice in their head when they think and some people just don’t. In the same way, some people need to listen to music when having sex and those who don’t.
If you are part of the former and you’re a Nigerian, then you likely need a selection of Nigerian songs that are relatable which you can listen to when having coitus. To help on this front, we spoke to eight Nigerians on the Nigerian songs they have in their sex playlist and the answers are fascinating.
Ready? Let’s go!
Vee.
Ma Pariwo by Zinolessky
It’s like Neighbours Know My Name by Trey Songz but in Yoruba. It’s a great sex song, not too slow but with a steady beat.
Ayo.
Tipsy by Odunsi The Engine feat RAYE and Rock Your Body by Burna Boy.
These mostly because I can picture myself moving to them, either dancing or having sex.
Lola.
Chineke Meh by Ezi Emela
It sounds like a Christian song of someone calling God but it’s about a girl screaming God’s name as her partner touches her.
Aisha.
Tattoo by Fireboy DML
The song has this power that makes me feel super loved and confident with my skin and the skin of my lover.
Nnanna.
Right Now by Seyi Shay
This song is on my sex playlist because it is a mood setter.
G-Sting.
Sad U Broke My Heart by Amaare
This song feels like having one of the best sex of your life with a toxic ex. You know it’s bad for you but you’re enjoying the fuck out of yourself.
Dammy.
Fores by Tay Iwar.
Adding this song because it sets the mood and is perfect for back shots.
Temple.
Like Me – Jess ETA and SGaWD
The tempo is right, with excellent lyrics, vocals with the texture of velvet.
Freaky – Santi
Love that the lyrics depict a mixture of enjoying guilty pleasures and lovelorn yearning.
With the reported cases of Coronavirus in Nigeria rising, it’s time for us to play our parts in preventing further spread. So, we’ve curated 10 Nigerian songs that should help you remember just how serious this entire ordeal is.
1. Asa’s “Fire On The Mountain”
Even though this song is over a decade old, it feels quite apt right now. There is clearly “Fire On The Mountain”, and a lot of Nigerians don’t seem to be on the run.
2. Burna Boy’s “Collateral Damage”
Unless more Nigerians start taking this virus seriously, it’s inevitable that many people will end up being “Collateral Damage” in the wake of someone else’s stupidity.
3. Runtown’s “International Badman Killa”
With the virus currently ravaging over 190 countries, racking up a death toll of about 14,000, it’s safe to say that COVID-19 is the real “International Badman Killa”.
4. Davido’s “Risky”
Since you can’t know for sure where anyone has been or who they’ve touched, it’s best to follow Davido’s instruction and assume that everyone’s body is potentially “Risky”.
5. Wizkid’s “Fever”
The most common symptom of the virus is a “Fever”. If you feel hot to touch on your chest and back, there’s no need to panic. Just follow these simple instructions.
6. Naira Marley’s “Soapy”
Right now, the safest sexual partner is yourself. So, while “Soapy” may have been too crass for some when it first dropped, it’s currently the masturbation anthem we need.
7. Mr Eazi’s “Miss You Bad”
As soon as we all start self-isolating, “Miss You Bad” will feel even more poignant. Just make sure you check up on those you love during these stressful times.
8. Fireboy DML’s “Scatter”
With the number of reported cases in Nigeria rising on a daily basis, it should go without saying that any kind of party or social gathering should immediately “Scatter”.
9. DJ Neptune’s “Nobody”
One of the best Nigerian tracks out right now also happens to be the ideal anthem for social distancing. So, as the song says, we don’t want to see you with “Nobody”.
10. Odunsi’s “Better Days”
While it might feel like the entire world is coming to an end, it’s necessary to look forward to “Better Days”. If we don’t, we might all lose our collective minds.
Your favourite musicians also have favourite musicians, and that’s why we created #MyLoop — a weekly series that asks Nigerian stars who they like to listen to when they’re feeling any type of way.
With the release of his debut mixtape, YPSZN, PsychoYP confidently announced himself as one of the most impressive rappers in the Nigerian music scene. While he isn’t yet as mainstream as he deserves to be — a burden of the genre he inhabits — his gifts remain impossible to deny.
Now, with his second body of work, YPSZN2 — a worthy follow-up to his career-defining debut — the rapper reaffirms his position as a star to watch. On the mixtape, he trades bars with the likes of Blaqbonez and Ladipoe, and it’s a testament to his skill that he is never outshined.
So, to get into the headspace of the talented star, we decided to find out what he’s been listening to recently, specifically when he is feeling any major emotion (ranging from happiness to anger) or doing something as simple as getting dressed.
From Drake to Young Thug, here are the artists that made PsychoYPs loop:

With every new release, it becomes increasingly clear that Prettyboy D-O is incapable of making a bad song. The manic energy he brings to every track is utterly infectious, and whether it’s a solo effort or a one-verse feature, he is always a memorable presence.
This year, he’s soared on two fantastic tracks, Mojo’s anthemic “Chop Life Crew” and “Dey Go Hear Wehh”, the first single off his upcoming debut album, Pretty World. He also dropped the iconic video for the Santi-assisted “Pull Up”, a standout off his Everything Pretty mixtape.
So, as we impatiently wait for the rapper to come through with his debut album, we decided to find out what he’s been listening to recently, specifically when he is feeling any major emotion (ranging from happiness to anger) or doing something as simple as getting dressed.
From Burna Boy to Nav, here are the artists that made D-O’s loop:
