The Pan-Africanist ideal never died—it morphed into hybridized sonic fragments that connect Joburg to Nairobi via Lagos and Accra. Dubbing himself “Africa’s boyfriend,” Nigerian singer CKay explores the highs and lows of his past relationships on his 2021 EP Boyfriend. “Felony” tells one such story of living in denial: “It’s about meeting a girl I caught feelings for, after years of avoiding it,” he tells Apple Music. “For so long I’ve been running away from it, but at last, I fall in love.” Alongside this new single, expect only the latest and greatest songs presenting the African continent in its lush entirety, whether they’re hip-hop, highlife, Afrobeats, alté, house, Afrobongo, or kuduro. Africa’s time isn’t only now, it’s forever. So come catch a lick, and hype up your library by adding anything that vibrates in lockstep with your beat.
