Afrobeats Star Lojay Links Up With Odeal For Sizzling Single “Mwah”

GRAMMY-nominated Afrobeats singer-songwriter Lojay joins forces with two-time MOBO Award winner Odeal for their first-ever collaboration, ‘Mwah!’, a sultry, slow-burning anthem that delves into the intoxicating themes of love, passion, and desire. The track marks a groundbreaking Lagos-London link-up, bringing together two artists who are riding high on their recent Grammy and MOBO accolades, respectively.

On ‘Mwah!’, Lojay sets the mood with evocative lyrics like “swing my way with your cinnamon fragrance”, painting a vivid picture of intimate connection. Teaming up with Odeal, the South-East Londoner’s velvety vocals perfectly complement Lojay’s smooth delivery as the duo effortlessly trade verses. The result is a seamless fusion of Afro-R&B that feels both luxurious and hypnotic, showcasing the undeniable chemistry between the two artists.

Building on the sonic foundation of his recent single Sarz-produced ‘Somebody Like You’, ‘Mwah!’ offers a tantalising glimpse into what fans can expect from Lojay’s highly anticipated debut album, currently in the works and slated for release later this year.

On the track’s creation, Lojay shared:
“The best thing about ‘Mwah!’ was how unexpectedly it came to life. I had listened to Odeal’s music before meeting him, but I really didn’t know what to expect from the session. I think that was part of what made it so magical. The chemistry was instant, and ‘Mwah!’ was the first song to come out of our first link-up.”
