Afropop sensation Idahams returns with God Bless Africa

Idahams
Riding high on the success of his Wetin No Good remix and video, which has lifted the original single to over six million global streams, alongside rave reviews from the likes of BBC 1Xtra, Clash Magazine, Music Week, and Rinse FM, fast-rising Nigerian pop artiste and producer Idahams is ready to go again with an infectious new single titled God Bless Africa.
Scripted by him and produced by Kulboy (who produces for Stefflon Don, Tekno, Kelvyn Boy), the new single, which is a celebration of African women all around the world, was released on Thursday, August 31 via Grafton Records.
Speaking about the song, Idahams said: “This song was inspired by popular Instagram personality, Tunde Ednut, who regularly posts videos and photos of beautiful African women from around the world, often using the caption God Bless Africa to celebrate their beauty.”
Sonically, the smooth mid-tempo offering is led by glorious percussion and keyboard arrangements held together by Idahams’ mesmerising vocals and lush melodies.
Drawing deeply from the rich culture of his hometown, Bonny Island, Rivers State, mixed with percussion-rich rhythms and highlife sensibilities, Idahams is quickly becoming a burgeoning force in Afro-pop’s international surge.
