Tolani debuts her new single ‘Badman’ today 24th July, 2020… Listen!!!
Rising Nigerian artist, Tolani gives us summer vibes with her effervescent afro-pop single ‘ Badman’. Released today independently, Tolani is set to bring her enriching afro-pop sound to the UK and beyond.
Singer-Songwriter Tolani’s new track ‘Badman’ highlights her distinctive, honeyed vocal that effortlessly flows on the mellow R&B, afrobeat production – a sound that’s also distinguished as altè amongst Nigerian natives. Self-written ‘Badman’ was sparked by a recent heartbreak, Tolani openly presents her vulnerable side on the song and encourages women to know their worth – she says: “ that entire experience was so possessing it leaked into every day and every thought”.
On ‘Badman’ she adds: “’Badman’ is a song exploring the habit of getting caught up with the ‘bad boys’ so to speak… being drawn to that high. I feel like there’s this subliminal message that love isn’t love unless it’s turbulent in some way… and so, you get caught up in a cycle of looking for the wrong things in potential lovers.”
Tolani’s previous track ‘ BA MI LO ’ has racked up two million views on YouTube and her single ‘ Liar ’ has gathered over a million streams. While building her musical profile, Tolani has performed on many stages, including a pivotal set at the 2018 Lagos Fashion and Design Week and Pepsi’s Rhythm Unplugged. On Red Bull’s ‘Artist To Watch’ feature, legendary Nigerian artist Reekado Banks says: “ Tolani’s music is different and she’s solemn with it. She’s not an everyday artist, she’s very intentional with her art and I like to unwind with that type of vibe. I also like to see her perform.”
