Nigerian singer-songwriter Johnny Drille continues to cement his reputation as the resident hopeless romantic of the country’s music scene with his latest offering, “Last Forever.”

Known for his tender storytelling and soulful delivery, Johnny Drille leans fully into his soft, acoustic roots on this heartfelt ballad. Built around intricate guitar fingerpicking and his velvety-smooth vocals, “Last Forever” feels intimate and deeply personal — as though each lyric is being whispered directly to the listener.

True to its title, the song is an ode to enduring love and the vulnerability required to sustain it. At a time when high-tempo, dance-driven records dominate the charts, “Last Forever” stands apart as a refreshing reminder that emotional depth and thoughtful songwriting still have a place in mainstream music. The track carries a wedding-ready aura, capturing the beauty of commitment with sincerity and grace.

Production on the record is clean and deliberately uncluttered. While Johnny Drille is known for producing much of his own music, “Last Forever” sees him collaborating with Mavin Records boss Don Jazzy. The subtle layering of strings toward the song’s climax elevates it from a simple acoustic tune into a cinematic soundscape, reflecting Johnny Drille’s artistic growth from bedroom producer to refined composer.

Early reception has been overwhelmingly positive, particularly among his devoted “Drillers” fanbase. The song resonates in quiet, reflective moments healing, celebrating love, and reaffirming belief in lasting connections.

In the fast-paced sonic landscape of 2026, Johnny Drille once again proves that slow, heartfelt music still holds timeless power and that meaningful songwriting, indeed, can last forever.

Nigerian rap powerhouse ODUMODUBLVCK has unveiled a brand-new single titled They Love Me, featuring rising vocalist Valentina Rose. Arriving just in time for the Valentine’s season, the record marks another bold step in the Abuja-born star’s ever-evolving soundscape.

Produced by UCEE, They Love Me captures ODUMODUBLVCK in a flirtatious yet self-assured mode.

Lyrically, the song is a confident celebration of love and admiration. ODUMODUBLVCK blends streetwise lyricism with romantic bravado, delivering punchlines that feel equally suited to the club and intimate playlists. It’s a noticeable departure from the aggression that powered some of his earlier “Kala” records, signaling versatility and growth.

Sonically, the production is layered with heavy basslines and a soulful sample that drives the rhythm forward. The fusion of Native House influences with Afropop-Rap elements broadens his reach while staying true to the gritty Abuja roots that built his fanbase. The chemistry between ODUMODUBLVCK and Valentina Rose gives the track replay value, with fans already amplifying it across social media platforms.

As 2026 unfolds, They Love Me reinforces ODUMODUBLVCK’s reputation as one of Nigeria’s most dynamic performers — unafraid to balance braggadocio with vulnerability. For longtime followers and new listeners alike, the single offers a glimpse into a softer, yet still commanding, dimension of his artistry.
