British Nigerian Afropop artist and musician Adenikè doubles up with a summer jam “Tonight.” Coming on the back of her debut single “Ride”, which led to her opening for Burna Boy on his African Giant European tour, the track sees her working with emerging Ivorian Nigerian musician and producer SHØLA, who crafts a uber groovy beat for the .
Led by her enthralling vocals, lush melodies, and relatable songwriting, Adenikè gushes about finding love in its truest form. She makes quick work of the percussion-heavy beat and delivers an alluring and catchy melody that sticks in the listener’s head even after the song has stopped. She adds via email that she just went with the flow in making the track, letting SHØLA properly weave together her work with the infectious drum-heavy Afropop musical backdrop.
