Nigerian Afropop star Alpha P makes a return with his highly anticipated EP, Welcome to the Pack.
After a two-year break, Alpha P is back with a five-track project: marking a pivotal moment in his evolving artistry, blending pop, R&B, soul, and Afrobeats into a sound that is both innovative and emotionally rich.
Opening with the deeply moving track ‘Light’, Alpha P reflects on grief and the search for peace following the loss of a close friend. This raw honesty sets the tone for the entire EP, inviting listeners to connect with his personal journey. The infectious lead single ‘W’ showcases a dream collaboration with the legendary Olamide, fulfilling a longtime ambition for the rising star.
Alpha P worked closely with burgeoning producer Wondah, creating a powerful synergy that allowed them to craft much of the EP in a single day. This creative partnership not only resulted in a fresh sonic landscape but also facilitated Alpha P’s exploration of vulnerability and authenticity in his storytelling.
“This project is a seed that you water with every listen,” Alpha P says, emphasizing his desire for fans to see the world through his eyes. With Welcome to the Pack, he is reclaiming his space in the music industry, proving he is not just one of Africa’s most promising talents but a global voice to watch. As he bridges the gap between his past and future, Alpha P invites fans on a journey filled with growth, resilience, and soul.x
