Released globally today, rising Nigerian singer and songwriter DBOI unveils triumphant new single “Bezos”, a follow-up to last year’s melodically haunting debut EP Genesis. The new track, which incorporates elements of afropop and afrobeats, showcases the emerging artist’s impressive vocal range. Pair that with his penchant for melody and seductive lyricism and we have a track that is recognizably similar yet still novel.
Produced by the Multi-Platinum Award-winning Afrobeat Writer/Producer/Artist KDDO aka Kiddominant, “Bezos” attests to DBOI’s readiness to take chances and his refusal to abide by any confined definitions of music genres, showing his talent for fabricating a unique tune, thanks to a distinct fusion of sounds and vibes.
On the inspiration behind “Bezos,” DBOI explains, “Music to me is a way to express my inner thoughts and I also wanted to share my side of life through it. My new single – “Bezos” was inspired by nature, money, and nostalgic memories with the captivating guitars and smooth beats produced by the Multi-Platinum Award-winning Afrobeat Writer/Producer/Artist KDDO aka Kiddominant.”
DBOI, real name Ignatius Ehinome Okojie, has stepped into his element with this new wave of afropop music, continuing to showcase his authenticity and versatility as an artist.
The Nigerian-born South African-based star foresees himself as an artist on a journey to spread good music throughout the world in a way no one else has done before.
From both an artist and personal perspective, DBOI is largely inspired by some of the most impactful artists of this generation like Rodwave, BurnaBoy, Omah Lay, Young John, and Buju, all of whom have the capacity to bring people of all backgrounds together through the power of music.
DBOI is getting cozy and going steady with his artistry, and with the release of “Bezos”, he continues to solidify his place as an innovative artist to keep an eye on as he gears up for a year full of new music and a forthcoming project.
