Broadcaster, journalist, fashion designer, and philanthropist, Amal Fashanu is currently working on her new EP titled New Beginnings, a 4 track body of work that displays her unique take on the Afropop genre. The lead single “Detty December,” serves as an introduction and showcases her R&B/soul-infused style with Afrobeats/pop aesthetics.
The guitar-driven record is a solid summer jam bolstered by Amal’s sultry melodic performance, catchy hooks, and a love story that listeners can relate to. Amal sure brings her multicultural roots into the mix with a blend of English, pidgin English, and even some Spanish to showcase her versatility. The title refers to the concerts, parties, and weddings booked to coincide with the end of the year homecoming of Nigerians living in the diaspora. This often also revolves around the climax of long-distance relationships, one-off flings, and such.
