Seyi Vibez Showcases a Softer Sound with New English-Language Single ‘Pressure’
Nigerian music sensation Seyi Vibez has released a new single titled Pressure, marking a striking evolution in his artistic journey. The track, unveiled under EMPIRE, follows the success of his recent EP Children of Africa and serves as his first song performed entirely in English.
Pressure introduces listeners to a more intimate and melodic side of Seyi Vibez, blending his signature street-pop and afro-fusion roots with a soulful, reflective tone. First teased in February, the single delves into themes of love, emotional investment, and subtle intensity – offering a fresh perspective from the artist often celebrated for his raw energy and streetwise narratives.
Speaking on the new release, Seyi described Pressure as a deliberate shift from his usual sound:
“This track leans more into melody, intimacy, and emotion. It’s smoother, softer, and shows a different side of me. It’s about love, care, and the power of attention – how pressure can be applied in quiet, meaningful ways.”
Born Balogun Afolabi Oluwaloseyi, Seyi Vibez has quickly become a dominant voice in Nigeria’s music scene, known for his unique fusion of Afrobeats, Afro-Pop, and Yoruba-rooted spiritual elements. Often dubbed the “King of Street Vibes,” he has racked up over two billion streams globally, including more than 600 million on Spotify.
The singer’s growing influence is further evidenced by recent collaborations with global stars such as Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, Black Sherif, NLE Choppa, and BNXN. Yet with Pressure, Seyi Vibez offers something more personal – an experimental step that underscores his versatility and ongoing creative growth.
The single is now available on all major streaming platforms and continues to build anticipation for what’s next from one of Afrofusion’s most dynamic voices.
