Nigerian Grammy-Nominated Star Lojay Debut Album: “Xoxo”

October 2025: GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter Lojay unveils his highly anticipated debut album ‘XOXO’, out via Koratori. Blending Afrobeats, R&B, amapiano, and global rhythms, the 14-track project explores the complexities of intimacy, heartbreak, and desire, weaving R&B sophistication into a new palette of Afrobeats that feels both global and deeply rooted.

The project lands with a tender collaboration for focus track ‘Memories’ featuring SA superstar Tyla. Opening with soft piano chords, the song unfolds into a laidback love story, with Lojay and Tyla trading heartfelt verses about fleeting but unforgettable moments of intimacy. Their chemistry radiates across the track, blending smooth Afropop melodies with gentle R&B undertones to create a timeless duet that captures both vulnerability and allure. ‘Memories’ embodies the emotional heart of the album – a reflective and sensual journey through passion, longing and connection.

‘XOXO’ also includes recent singles ‘Tenner’, a bold 3-step-inspired love song produced by Black Culture (behind Davido’s ‘Be There Still’), ‘MWAH!’ with UK R&B talent Odeal, and the Sarz-produced ballad ‘Somebody Like You’. Together, they underline Lojay’s versatility and hunger to push Afrobeats into fresh spaces, while keeping his storytelling deeply personal.
