Nigerian Afrobeats artist Shoday has released a new single, “MOVE”, on September 9. The track arrives as his catalogue passes 260 million Spotify streams and as he begins a Canadian tour.
“MOVE” is built around upbeat Afrobeats production, melodic vocals and a danceable rhythm. It follows recent live appearances in the United Kingdom and Europe, and it comes after Shoday’s debut album HYBRID, which explored a range of Afrobeats styles.
