Blaqbonez and FOLA Deliver a Sultry, Soulful Vibe on “Despacito”
Off his new album No Excuses, Blaqbonez teams up with rising Afro-R&B sensation FOLA on the captivating single “Despacito.”
“Despacito” is a sultry fusion of FOLA’s smooth, soulful energy and Blaqbonez’s introspective, razor-sharp lyricism. The track glides effortlessly between seduction and self-awareness, offering a refreshing take on modern love through the lens of two distinct yet complementary voices.
Blaqbonez’s verse is laced with witty metaphors and rhythmic precision, infusing the song’s sensual undertone with an intellectual allure. In contrast, FOLA’s silky vocals bring warmth and melody, wrapping the record in a soulful glow that perfectly balances the rapper’s sharp delivery.
Anchored by a reflective chorus, “Despacito” unfolds as a heartfelt dialogue between two artists at the top of their creative game. True to its Spanish title—Despacito, meaning “slowly”—the song celebrates the beauty of taking one’s time in love, life, and artistic expression.
Produced by Ramoni and Blaise Beatz, “Despacito” stands out as one of the more intimate moments on No Excuses, Blaqbonez’s fourth studio album. The 16-track project features a stellar lineup including Olamide, Phyno, AJ Tracey, Zinoleesky, FOLA, and others — a testament to Blaqbonez’s evolving artistry and global ambition.
Quotable Lyrics:
So, balance it o (Se eni ka ma riro)
I no go play you like El Clásico
No pour sand sand for my garri o
Orente ma ya ri o
O ye n korin fun mi bi Despacito, oh ah, yeah
