Afropop star Korede Bello closes the year with the eclectic new six-track EP, M3GA VIBRATIONS.
Never one to blend into the crowd, Korede, known for his signature mix of Afropop sweetness, sincerity and effortless boy-next-door charisma, delivers a project that dances, dreams, desires and declares who he is across shifting rhythms and roles.
The M3GA VIBRATIONS EP is a reminder of Korede Bello’s versatility and his ability to embody many things at once – global ambassador, party starter, loverman, and occasional badmon.
The project wastes no time kicking off with the energetic bounce of “Numba 1” and “Sugar,” records crafted specifically to move feet and lift spirits. These tracks echo the Korede who knows how to start a party with his cool, catchy, and feel-good charm.
However, Korede Bello is also a romantic, a loverman with soft edges, and this takes centre stage on “By Your Side”. The song showcases his R&B and pop sensibilities gliding effortlessly, reminding listeners of the fluid elegance in his vocal delivery, and featuring a touch of Michael Jackson-esque finesse. It is a gentle reassurance to a love interest.
The tales turn to desire, caution, and seduction with “Enchante (Ajoke)” and “Bad Girls”. These mid-tempo rhythms carry the tension of wanting what you perhaps shouldn’t. Korede sings with an honesty that suggests he knows “Bad Girls” might be trouble, yet he is still drawn to their spell.
He closes the versatile collection with “Attention,” a tender yet deliberate plea for genuine presence – be it emotional, physical or intentional. It serves as a fitting end, as after playing the party-starter, the lover, and the charmer, Korede returns to what is real.
M3GA VIBRATIONS is now available on all streaming platforms.
