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! stream below https://music.apple.com/ng/album/eclipse-ep/1579930029
