Barely two months that he emerged on the scene with his debut single, Anticipating, and his last month’s viral track, Fantasy, British-Nigerian musician and afrobeats rising star, Adenuga Adedumomi, professionally known as Dumomi The Jig (DumomiTheJig), has continued his stellar start with his third offering titled, Maria, an afrobeats and amapiano fusion featuring the queen of afrohouse herself, Niniola Apata, better known by the stage name Niniola.

The record, which was released via Adult Global Nation, sees DumomiTheJig collaborating with two-time Grammy award nominee Niniola, and enigmatic Nigerian producer Black Culture, who has also worked with afrobeats sensations such as, Wande Coal and Tekno, to bring to life his infectious afropiano track, which emphasises showing one’s intentions of love with actions rather than words.

Speaking on the inspiration behind Maria, DumomiTheJig said, “Not to sound cliché or anything like that, but everything in Maria is something I had experienced in my last relationship. This song is about constantly trying to prove your love, loyalty, and genuine intentions to an insatiable lover, which – from my experience – can be very draining, I can’t lie.”
