Shaiboy turns up the heat with ‘Ole’, a sun-soaked blend of Afrobeats, reggaeton and Afro-fusion that channels the sweet chaos of love through playful rhythms, multilingual flair and undeniable summer energy.
It’s sun-soaked and feel-good, it’s Shaiboy’s latest single, ‘Ole’. Providing a melting pot of reggaeton and Afro-fusion, Shaiboy is once again turning heads in the Afrobeats scene and proving his worth with undeniable versatility. Telling a cross-cultural story grounded in both spiritual and playful charm, his music never fails to light up dance floors and our playlists alike. Providing breezy flow and an innate ability to integrate the languages and sounds which shaped him – Yoruba, Igbo, Pidgin, and English – there’s a fresh global edge to this new track that sets it in a league of its own.
Hearing the soulful beats and flirtatious grooves of Shaiboy’s music, it’s hard not to want to move. If vibrant percussion, sunny guitars and irresistible vocals are your thing – and, let’s be honest, who isn’t – then this is a must listen. On a deeper level, the song is about the sweet chaos of falling in love. He shares: “It’s playful, passionate, and rooted in the kind of love that feels like a robbery.”
All in all, it’s shaping up to be a major year for the Nigerian-African artist. Joining King Promise and Joeboy for performances across April and May, as well as launching the #OleChallenge across TikTok and Instagram, Shaiboy is channelling his set to make a splash just in time for summer.
