Albums By Oxlade, Eclipse, TheEP
Fast rising Afrobeat artiste, Oxlade
surprises music fans with the release of a
new project titled ECLIPSE EP.
Troniq Music presents “Eclipse” EP by boy
Oxlade, strictly produced by Coublon. This
a follow up to his debut EP – OXYGENE. It
houses the recently released single
‘Ojuju ‘.
Oxlade is the stage name of Nigerian
singer Ikuforiji Abdulrahman Olaitan, best
known for such Afro-fusion hits as
“AWAY,” “HOLD ON ,” and “O2 .” Inspired
by the music of Nigerian star Wande Coal,
Oxlade cut his first demo at age 11 with
the help of his uncle, a professional
sound mixer.
According to Apple Music[right]
? His big break came in 2018, when
he was featured on “Mamiwota,” a hit
by Nigerian rapper Blaqbonez.
In 2018, his dreamy “Questionnaire”
was his first solo track to catch fire in
Nigeria, thanks to the endorsement of
renowned singer and producer
Davido, who hyped him on social
media.
All six tracks from Oxlade’s acclaimed
2020 EP,
OXYGENE , reached the Top
20 of Nigeria’s Apple Music Top 100
World Songs chart, with the infectious
“AWAY” peaking at No. 2.
Oxlade’s smooth jazz-tinged single,
“DKT,” hit No. 8 on Ireland’s Apple
Music Top 100 World Songs chart in
2020, proving his appeal far beyond
his homeland.
He has collaborated with several
other popular Nigerian artists,
including M.I Abaga, Ice Prince,
Moelogo, Jinmi Abduls, and Fiokee.

Today August 20, 2021, Oxlade is return
with a new EP titled “ECLIPSE“. A four
track mini project.
1. MORE
2. OJUJU
3. PAY ME
4. INCOMPLETE
On the Eclipse EP, Oxlade joins forces
with producer Coublon for an emotive
dose of Afropop. Cocooned within
falsetto-draped soundbeds, Oxlade
(Ikuforiji Olaitan Abdulrahman) navigates
the complexities of love with infectious
lyricism.
While “More” displays an
eagerness for romance, “Ojuju” folds a
sense of trepidation between its
polyrhythms. With its beguiling refrains,
dub bassline and mellifluous chords,
“Incomplete” best captures the magic of
this duo.
Listen and Enjoy!
