African music star Yemi Alade has returned with ‘It’s Yemi Alade’, a 15-track album that spans highlife, Afrobeats, disco, house and Afropop.
The project follows a catalogue that includes the songs ‘Johnny’, ‘Baddie’, ‘Africa’ and ‘Oh My Gosh’, and has earned billions of streams, international recognition and a GRAMMY win.
Love, life, resilience, identity and gratitude form the album’s emotional core. Featured artists include Don Jazzy, Bien, Teni, FAVE, Spyro and Jeriq.
‘Alhaja’ brings character and cultural familiarity, setting a tone connected to African musical heritage. ‘Titanium’ centres on strength and resilience, capturing the perspective of someone who has weathered pressure and emerged more determined.
Across its 15 tracks, the album is positioned as a homecoming rather than a reinvention: Alade revisits the sounds that shaped her, adds what she has learned along the way, and turns the material into something distinctly hers.
