GRAMMY Award-nominated global music rising star TERRI drops highly anticipated sophomore EP ‘In Transit’
With his recently released EP lead single ‘Danger’ garnered over three million plays online in just a few weeks, while also receiving rave reviews and critical acclaim from the likes of Notion Magazine, Earmilk, Noctis Magazine, BBC Radio London, OkayAfrica, No Signal Radio, and Reprezent Radio, among others, GRAMMY Award-nominated global music rising star TERRI is excited to unveil his long-awaited and highly anticipated sophomore EP In Transit via ONErpm.
The new EP In Transit comes on the back of a very eventful past 12 months for Terri, which saw the Nigerian artist and songwriter receive his first-ever Grammy Award nomination for his contributions to the Wizkid album ‘Made In Lagos’, while also collaborating with Grammy Award-winning producer and one-third of Major Lazer, Walshy Fire, as well as working with Ghanaian culture icon Smallgod, among other achievements, despite not releasing a solo single since 2020’s smash hit track ‘Come Around’.
Written and composed by Terri, in collaboration with some of Nigeria’s finest new producers including Krizbeatz (Popcaan, Mr. Eazi, Davido) and P.Priime (Wizkid, Fireboy DML, Asa), and a guest appearance from Mugeez, one-half of BET Award-nominated Ghanaian duo R2Bees, his In Transit EP is a glorious Afropop and R&B fusion triumph, rich in musicality and lyricism, which sees Terri in his element as he takes the listener on a captivating journey of love and romance.
Terri burst onto the afrobeats scene when he was only a teenager, becoming the only artist to be signed by Wizkid to his Starboy Records imprint. He also collaborated with Wizkid on the certified gold-selling hit single ‘Soco’, and later released his critically acclaimed debut EP Afro Series in 2020, garnering over 50 million streams, and international support from BBC Radio 1, KISS FM, BBC 1Xtra, Capital Xtra, Apple Music 1 and Okayafrica, among others, along the way. The fast-rising afrobeat is ready to usher in a new era with his brand new EP, In Transit.

Alias Wayne celebrates the beauty of genuine affection on latest release “Tribute”
Alias Wayne brings the romantic message to the fore with “Tribute,” a song written to celebrate someone whose qualities deserve recognition and appreciation. The whole release is really about love and wanting the world to know how special someone is to you. It’s a simple yet significant idea, especially since the song takes an appreciation-based approach to romance rather than focusing on the thrill of attraction.
As the track progresses, the addition of shakers and hand drum adds yet another layer of rhythmic character, giving the arrangement a lively quality. What I really like is how these elements help the song move forward without detracting from its romantic message.
The lyric direction also keeps affection at the center, expressing admiration for someone’s qualities and a desire to get closer through a personal invitation to share a dance. It gives the song a warm, accessible feel. “Tribute” is a release that celebrates someone special. Alias Wayne blends a message of love with guitar, percussion, and rhythmic movement. It’s a nice treat for fans of romantic songs with a personal touch.

Séhkou unveils a beautiful connection between faith and intimacy on latest release “Song of Songs 1:3-4 (I Know)”
Romance meets spiritual expression in Séhkou’s new single, “Song of Songs 1:3-4 (I Know),” featuring Angélica Allen. The release provides a fresh take on attraction and intimacy. The song blends hip-hop with soul and R&B influences, celebrating a bond between two people who genuinely choose and cherish each other. Rather than the indecision of chasing after someone who keeps their distance, it’s about mutual affection, desire, and the reassurance of being wanted back.
I particularly appreciate the solemn flute that flows throughout the track. This gives the arrangement an interesting musical character and strengthens the connection between the romantic and spiritual themes. The rap rhythm is also noteworthy, bringing a different feel to the track, while keeping the lyrical focus front and center.
Allen’s spoken-scripture intro and outro provide an important framework for the record, connecting its expressions of intimacy to a sense of reverence. Song of Songs 1:3-4 (I Know) has something meaningful to offer listeners who appreciate music that goes beyond surface attraction to explore love. Séhkou blends hip-hop, soul, R&B, and spiritual expression thoughtfully.
