Bnxn Previews Upcoming Album with Soulful New Single “Laye Mi”
Nigerian sensational singer Bnxn (formerly known as Buju) sets the tone for his much-anticipated second studio album with the release of a captivating new single titled “Laye Mi.”
A silky-smooth offering, “Laye Mi” showcases Bnxn’s signature blend of velvety vocals and poetic lyricism. Anchored by a memorable Yoruba refrain—“emi, laye mi o”—the chorus lingers in the listener’s mind, carrying emotional depth and cultural resonance.
Bnxn seamlessly weaves between English and Yoruba, painting a heartfelt portrait of love, introspection, and vulnerability. Backed by lush guitar plucks and a mid-tempo percussive groove, the song unfolds like both a love letter and a deeply personal soliloquy.
Produced by Blaise Beatz, “Laye Mi” offers an evocative preview of Bnxn’s upcoming album “CAPTAIN,” a 16-track body of work scheduled for release in just a few days. The project serves as the official follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2023 album, “Sincerely, Benson.”
“CAPTAIN” boasts an impressive lineup of guest features, including Rema, Seyi Vibez, Victony, FOLA, and the iconic Soweto Gospel Choir. The album is preceded by a series of standout singles: “Very Soon,” “Cutesy,” “Phenomena,” and the fan-favorite “Fi Kan We Kan” featuring Rema.
With “Laye Mi,” Bnxn reaffirms his place as one of Nigeria’s most soulful and innovative voices, balancing rich storytelling with genre-blurring sonic textures ahead of what promises to be a defining album moment.
Quotable Lyrics:
Emi, laye mi o
Mo fe sa le mi o
Ooh, laye mi
Emi, laye mi o
I no fit sleep, I’m working o
If I never make am, it’s impossible
Wait till it unfolds, unfolds glory for me
Feels like an old soul, with some new melodies
Stream Bnxn “Laye Mi”
Spread the love
