Ric Hassani returns with adouble

Nigeria’s pop-soul prince Ric Hassani isn’t resting on his oars anytime soon. Despite the laudable success of his 2021 debut album, The Prince I Became, the singer-songwriter continued with a slew of hit singles that give life to his blooming discography and keeps his feet warm performing on intimate stages across the world.  

For his second single of the year, the self-acclaimed ‘African Gentleman’ returns with a twin record that houses the songs, Aminah, and The One.  While on Amina, Hassani steps out of his comfort zone, experimenting with an Amapiano-infused sound, on The One he serves a quintessential summer bop, delivering a track that is both infectious and introspective. 

Sautéed with breezy vocals, romantic lyricism and infectious melodies, both tracks offer a fresh take on Afro-R&B and Pop.  Set to ignite this year’s summer season, Hassani’s signature style is on full display, delivering music that is both infectious and introspective. For Hassani, these two new tracks are more than just catchy tunes. They’re a testament to his dedication to his craft and his commitment to pushing boundaries and defying genre conventions, he tells Weekend Beats.  

For both fans and non-fans, these two new singles help to set the right expectation for Hassani’s future offering.  Amina and The One are available across music streaming services.
