One of the most exciting rising stars from the world of Afro-Fusion arrives with the infectious, up-tempo ‘Olla’ as Jobaa is set to make his mark on the scene.
Having previously featured on Burna Boy Spaceship Collective signee Buju’s single ‘Sweet Love’ last December, which highlighted Jobaa to the music world, the 20-year old makes his single debut. Featuring a super catchy, percussion driven Afro-pop instrumentation, which is produced by Jaypizzle and engineered by Selebobo (a.k.a Mix Monsta), ’Olla’ is a stellar debut that highlights Jobaa’s fresh and zealous interpretation of contemporary Afrobeats.
Representing an exciting new generation of artists that are heavily inspired by Afrobeats, the genres megastars and modern-day music from across the globe, Jobaa refreshingly pushes the boundaries with his innovative style and clear enjoyment of his craft. Having recently inked a lucrative deal with U.K based entertainment titan JustJoJo Entertainment Limited, Jobaa’s debut is a high-octane cut and certainly highlights him as a future star.
With the melting pot of talent from the Afrobeats world seemingly overflowing in riches, the comradery of the genre is where its gems lie. The desire and commitment of those already in the spotlight to constantly work with, and highlight, new talent has been pivotal to many careers. Whilst piquing the interest of the scene on his previous feature with Buju, it is now Jobaa’s turn to take his space in the limelight.
