It is quite obvious that Afrobeats is taking over the Nigerian music scene. These days it is almost impossible to listen to a Nigerian song without traces of Afrobeat being felt on the song.
Nigerian melodious singer, Seyi Shay who has embraced Afrobeat in songs like Yolo has declared that Afrobeat is the future of Afrobeats.
Speaking in a recent interview, she said:” I feel like Afropop is the future of Afrobeats. When it becomes more popular – when there’d be Afrobeats playing in everybody’s house around the world – you could call it Afropop. For now, it’s still Afrobeats: even though we’re getting there, we haven’t kicked all the doors down. Beat is the operative word. The beat is African ultimately, whether the style of music is dancehall, salsa, Latin, reggae. That’s where it all comes from. Afrobeat is the beat of Africa, that’s what it means.”
When asked about her new song Your Matter in which she collaborates with Eugy, she said:”It’s about a girl being hooked on this particular guy’s wave, and vice versa – a sort of ‘new school’ type relationship
“It’s definitely one of those when it seems as though you like a guy more than he likes you, you spend time with him but the he’s blasé about everything. At the same time, he’s trying to reassure you more with what he says than what he does.That’s where this comes from.”
