The Pan-Africanist ideal never died—it morphed into hybridized sonic fragments that connect Joburg to Nairobi via Lagos and Accra. Nigerian singer Joeboy explores romance on his debut album, Somewhere Between Beauty & Magic, and on “Focus,” he tells an all-too-relatable story of unrequited love. “It’s about a friend’s situation—he was sad and lovestruck,” he tells Apple Music. “It’s about somebody not being straightforward about their intentions.” 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.
