Benney Time Stops

Benney is not shy to borrow influences from his musical inspirations; the late Juice WRLD topping the list of his most inspirational artist due to his diversity and unique positivity with which he tailored his memorable tunes. To a significant impact, he is also inspired by musical geniuses such as: Kendrick Lamar and The Hxliday. His debut album “Love Is Drugs” feels like a tribute to Juice WRLD’s “Goodbye and Good Riddance” which the genuine passion and open vulnerability involved in its creation. He really put his heart into this one with the varied melodies and cadences backed by the lyrical vulnerability and tunes rich in universal themes focusing on every loving heart, broken heart, or every wounded feeling delivered with technical lyricism, inventive flow, tongue-twisting wordplay, intricate flow and memorable bars. I could go on and on! The perfect song from the album “Time stops” is a melodic rap song born of hip hop, Emo-rap and sound-cloud rap that has a penchant for short, hook-heavy harmony with which it has been delivered.

Benney’s melodic vocal style veers on infatuation, obsession and fascination as he feels that he has been smitten by a girl that makes time stop and his heart explodes when he rides luck. This is an expressive melodic and emo-inspired composition that evinces his songwriting skill. He remains comfortable freestyle rapping in a sing-song kind of style over the classic hip hop beats emphasizing wordplay like a prodigy of industrial discipline. The off-the-cut rhyming abilities are reminiscent of Kendrick Lamar’s legendary ones. This is a groundbreaking musical tune that has a sense of familiarity that listeners (who are not scared to love and express their feelings) can gravitate toward. This original and unique art craft has been invariably imbued with a sense of serenity, the legacy of love, joy and emotional honesty that will live on.

Established Hip Hop Artist ReachingNOVA Creates a Free-flowing Lyrical Course with His Single "C'est La Vie"

His other heart-on-his-sleeve endearing popular tracks include: “Demon girls, Trust Issues, So bad, Look into my eyes, 24 and my will to die” all from the debut album “Love Is Drug”. His musical ingenuity is born from pain and vulnerability and all his magical productions have been fashioned with lyrical content that centers on love, heartbreak, bitterness and sometimes more boastful anthems and creative references. Benney is unapologetically helping tailor a new sound that is impassioned with frankness and vulnerability that listeners fighting similar emotional storms will be able to find comfort in. He is propelling himself to the pinnacle of the rap genre with a ferocious hunger to build a long-lasting and boundary-busting music career and it will be intriguing to witness the great heights he is about to scale!

Omaye keeps it brief and hits hard on "Tell Them", a focused Afrobeats and Amapiano promise of what is coming

Fast-budding Nigerian artist Omaye’s single “Tell Them” arrives with assurance that usually takes artists a few releases to earn. He keeps it tight, too. The track runs 2 minutes and 17 seconds, and it uses every second with purpose. In a lane where bigger often gets mistaken for better, Omaye shows how far a clear idea can travel when the writing and performance stay focused.

“Tell Them” plays like a self-empowerment chant built from a hardened, never-say-never mindset. The message is straightforward: put in the work, stay locked in, and trust destiny to meet you halfway. Omaye delivers it with a calm steadiness, the sort of quiet confidence that suggests he already sees the finish line. You can hear the belief that his moment is on schedule, and that nothing is going to shake him off course.

The sound matches that mindset. Omaye’s Afrobeats foundation gives the record its swing, while gurgling Amapiano synths bubble underneath and add a subtle lift. The production stays clean and restrained, leaving plenty of air for the vocal. Omaye’s delivery is crisp and polished, gliding over the beat with clarity. He never rushes the pocket. Each note feels chosen, each inflection considered, as if he’s more interested in landing the feeling than showing off technique.

What makes “Tell Them” linger is its emotional balance. It’s catchy and undeniably infectious, yet it carries weight. The hook sticks because the sentiment does, and the track rewards replay for more than its bounce. Omaye isn’t reaching for drama or putting on a persona. He’s capturing a mindset shaped by struggle, resilience, and self-belief, then letting that honesty do the heavy lifting. By the time the song ends, the confidence feels earned rather than advertised.

With “Tell Them,” Omaye comes off as a storyteller who knows what he wants to say and how to say it. The track reads as proof that he has the tools to connect with fans of Afrobeats, Amapiano, and Hip-Hop alike, and to do it without diluting his voice. The direction is clear. The hunger is right there in the phrasing.

Now streaming on Apple Music, “Tell Them” lands as a statement of intent and a clean introduction for anyone meeting him for the first time. If this single is a preview, the question around Omaye’s rise is timing, not possibility. Time feels like the only gap between him and the next level.

The release is also a milestone: “Tell Them” is Omaye’s first professionally recorded single, and it sets the stage for his upcoming EP “17EEN,” which is close on the horizon. Keep the name Omaye in your head. You’re going to hear it again.

IurisEkero turns “AURA” into a sunset ritual of cinematic pop, where synths hold your feelings close

IurisEkero turns "AURA" into a sunset ritual of cinematic pop, where synths hold your feelings close

IurisEkero has always had that producer aura where every synth feels like it’s holding hands with your feelings. On AURA, that instinct expands into cinematic storytelling. He even marked the release with a sunset ceremony at the base of the Andes, like he was unlocking a secret level in a music RPG. You can’t fake that kind of commitment. It gives the album a clear vibe: this is meant to be lived, not treated like something you leave running in the background.

He stays in a contemporary pop lane, polished but heartfelt, digital yet soft around the edges. The textures are warm. The vocal layers feel like a hug. And there’s a sense that each song stands as its own emotional chapter. The point is mood-building, not novelty. AURA ends up feeling like 16 different emotional passports, each stamped with a slightly different shade of hope, doubt, desire, or relief.

The album kicks off with “The Password Of My Heart,” a title that sounds cheesy until the production hits. Then it turns into a confession wrapped in shimmering synths. He moves gently, almost whisper soft, and the chorus floats in like he’s opening a door you weren’t sure you should walk through. It’s a smart opener because it sets the standard early: sweetness, yes, but with detail and control.

“Didn’t See You Today” brings the jolt. It’s dance pop in full gear, bright, jumpy, and built around a beat that sounds designed to rescue someone from a bad mood. The female vocals glide across the instrumental with precision, as if they arrived already locked into the same emotional tempo. The track is glossy, but it keeps the album’s softness intact, the warmth never drains out.

In the middle, “Aura” sits like a breathing space. It’s modern pop with emotional density, yet airy enough that you can drift with it. This is the one you play while staring at something far away, pretending you’re in a movie even if you’re just sitting on a bus. The hook doesn’t have to shout. The feeling does the work.

The crown jewel is “We Are All In One,” the single that has already pushed past 222k streams on Spotify. The appeal is immediate. The lyrics read like a sunrise pep talk from your favorite person:
“Woke up dreaming. Sky is clear, got the world beneath my feet…”
“Every moment, every glance feels like magic.”
“You’re my fire, my best friend.”
It’s warm, melodic, and sweet, and it carries an electronic bounce that keeps it from getting too soft. Romantic, yes, but it avoids the clingy tone that can flatten songs like this. It lifts you up without turning into a self-help poster. This is the track for the walk home after a long day, the moment you need a reminder that life can still glow.

The deeper cuts give the album its emotional spine. “Even Miracles Take a Little Time” and “Invisible Gravity” lean into introspection with an almost therapeutic honesty. Then he pivots into higher energy with “Let’s Ignite the Night” and “Cut Loose,” tracks that feel like the soundtrack to the moment you decide to stop overthinking everything. The shifts don’t feel random. They read like a real emotional arc, the way a night out can start with doubt and end with release.

As the album closes with “Don’t Get Your Hopes Up,” he returns to vulnerability, the real kind, not the Instagram caption version. The yin and yang in his music stays front and center, joy alongside uncertainty, light alongside shadow. That duality is what makes AURA feel human.

And that Andes launch seals the whole concept. He turned an album into a communal moment. As the sun dropped, each track played like a ritual chapter, a shared breath between strangers. It transformed AURA from a playlist into a lived memory. Artists talk about unity. Here, he actually staged it.

If you want more than background music, AURA is a recommendation. Each track is layered with feeling, melody, and energy that makes you hit replay before the last note fades. Stream it, share it.
