Setting the stage for an unforgettable season of upcoming releases with the biggest names in music, the award-winning, highly-celebrated Nigerian music star, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Pheelz proudly presents an uplifting and vibrant music video for his single ‘JOY’ [feat. Olamide] out today via Warner Records.
Directed by Ahmed Mosh, the visual follows Pheelz and Olamide around the streets of Lagos, Nigeria. The video is immersed in vibrant, Nigerian culture and its people, featuring neighbours dancing, local shops and eateries, authentic clothes and customs as energy surges through the city in a moment of communal and collective celebration. Jewellery shines, smiles beam, and happiness spreads like wildfire. It captures the spirit of the chantable chorus, “joy joy joy!” It also showcases the chemistry between these two global powerhouses front-and-center!
Capping off a busy 2023, Pheelz Good (Triibe Tape) has only magnified his impact around the world. Beyond generating over 10.4 million streams, it has earned widespread critical acclaim. OkayAfrica raved, “This EP stands as a testament to Pheelz's remarkable skills as a producer and multi-instrumentalist,” going on to praise, “Pheelz's musicality takes center stage, blending genres such as Afropop, R&B, and hip-hop, all complemented by his velvety vocals.” Meanwhile, The Guardian Nigeria predicted, “This release sets the stage for exciting collaborations in the future, showcasing their ability to create magic together.”
Underpinned by Pheelz’ signature world class production, which mixes sunny Afropop with a smooth R&B bounce and his velvety vocals to create stellar earworm melodies. Positivity is a strong theme that runs through the project, which includes ‘Riddim & Blues’, ‘JELO’ featuring fellow Afrobeats sensation and producer Young Jonn – which has more than 10.4 million streams and 2.7 million YouTube views since its release – and a brand new Afro House remix of the song with a mash-up from the Netherlands based DJ/producer Henry X & Nigerian producer Lexyz. Full tracklisting below.
The stand-out talent has made the most of every opportunity that has come his way since the breakout virality of ‘Finesse’, which established him as one of Nigeria’s most gifted producers and songwriters, as well as an international star on the rise, clocking more than 289 million streams, and 97 million YouTube views. Pheelz was the first Afrobeats artist to Perform at the BET Awards Pre-Show, where he earned a 2022 nomination for Best New International Act. He was also one of the most nominated talents as both an artist and producer at this year’s The Headies Awards.
