International Canadian-Nigerian Singer-Songwriter and Producer Joey Jaey’s Debut Album, “Naija to the 6iX” Is Much More Than the Music; This Is a Whole Experience on Another Epic Level!

He came, he saw, and he has been conquering the music territories ever since. Canadian based but of Nigerian descent, progressive artist Joey Jaey’s forward-thinking mentality and vision for music go further than most that are of similar standing in the industry, with a relentless work ethic, unwavering determination, and unfaltering passion for music that transcends time and place. His versatility in many genres is endless; straddling the realms of afrobeat, pop, and Amapiano with R&B influences.

Ever since he debuted in 2020, he has been on a steadily rising trajectory; coming with tracks that ooze charisma, deserve acclaim, and have raw, inimitable talent. He is now celebrating another significant milestone; his debut album, dubbed “Naija to the 6ix”- a 10-track project that sees him tap into his Nigerian roots and deliver unforgettable performances deserving of widespread embrace and critical acclaim.

Tapping into the quintessential afrobeat sound that has taken the world by storm, Joey delivers impassioned performances with such creative finesse to guide the listener through a blissful journey.

This is the perfect distillation of impeccable artistry and progressive sound mechanics; there is something for everyone here with tracks covering a wide array of topics, from love, loss, heartbreak, partying, and the hustle and grind…you name it!

The opening track is guaranteed to get you right in your “Feelings” with a hypnotic and addicting beat that hits the listener right in the spot. This is magic packaged as music, and the vocal delivery leaves nothing to be desired. This is a proper banging ballad about the delicate matters of the heart, and the beat simply wants you to dance along with carefree abandon!

The production of the album, which is of the highest standards, cannot be stressed enough., and the execution is simply top-notch.

“Go there” is another captivating release, and there is a familiarity with the beat—like you’ve listened to this music somewhere—and I figured maybe it’s because it carries similar vibes to Joeboy’s (another Nigerian singer-songwriter) “Body & Soul.” The mesmerizing beat is matched by Joey’s cottony and slinky vocals, which oscillate through the soundscape with such an irresistible allure.

“Understand” is really emotional, with a stripped-back yet expressive beat that provides solid bedrock for Joey’s soulful, soul-stirring, and emotional performance as he navigates loss and heartbreak with his deeply thoughtful lyrics. There is that stupendous percussive line that is hypnotic and will take up residence in your brain for as long as it can

“Waiting” is the only feature in the entire album featuring guest artist Jon Ogah and the two of them make a marvelous mastery of the beat to authenticate a memorable and flawless performance.

There is of course the banger that has become a fan favorite and a club staple; “Kolombo” which currently boasts close to 100K Spotify streams. This tune features subtle Amapiano influences with an infectious hook at its core.

“Oh baby wala kolombo

Tell me she want the kolombo

She said she want the koboko

Tell me she want the kolombo

Oh baby walam kolombo”

The striking music video for the track already has over 82K YouTube views. If you want to lose yourself in something, this is the perfect banger to move your body to the beat like no one’s watching!

The icing on the cake is that ballad rendition of his single “Ije Love”- the sensational song from his debut EP of the same name. The delicate arrangement of the piano melodies serves as the backdrop for Joey’s stunning vocals, which effortlessly float and soar, delivering a performance brimming with emotion and soul. This reimagined version of the song showcases the depth and versatility of Joey’s artistic vision.

The stripped down piano arrangement allows Joey’s vocals to shine, drawing the listener into an intimate and heartfelt experience. His delivery is filled with genuine vulnerability and authenticity, making every word and note resonate deeply.

“Naija to the 6ix” is a next-level project for Joey and will serve to further elevate him into international acclaim.

Talent like this is rare and far between, and that’s why we need to recognize and acclaim artists like Joey who are always looking for ways to improve their sound and satiate the needs of their fans and new listeners alike.

Already streaming on all the popular channels, this is your chance to enjoy this sensational music and relish in this sonic tapestry of Nigerian music with Canadian and other exotic influences!
