The artist goes full-on lover boy in his declaration of adoration for “Isabella”, laid over a bouncy Afrofusion beat. Elsewhere, he experiments with Spanish guitar chords on the lamenting “Jeje de Whine” and acoustic strings on “Show My Side”, which features alternative pop vocalist Amaarae. But it’s lead single “Felony” that’s the jewel in CKay’s crown. Merging an Afrobeats backbone with tinges of folk violin and Pidgin lyrics, it’s inspired by a special someone he was FaceTiming with quite a bit during lockdown.

Based On the buzz and positive vibe of this project Ckay shared… “I made Afrobeats in my own different way, told stories of my experiences and expressed my emotions in melodies. My team believed in my sound, we put it out and in 24 hours Boyfriend is NUMBER ONE in the country!!! I have the best fans/supporters in the world no cap! WE DID THIS! Thank you guys!
