Popular artiste and music producer, Oladapo Oyebanjo better known as Dbanj has released a new Album titled “Stress Free”.
This new development came barely four years after he released an Album titled “King Don Come” in 2017.
This was announced on Friday, October 1 by the popular artiste also known as Kokomaster via his instagram handle @Iambangalee that his much-anticipated new album, “Stress Free” has been released.
The Album “Stress Free” shows a polished artist who is not only experimenting but having fun, along with slick production values (featuring the spectacular skills of music producer Rexxie).
Speaking on the new album, Dbanj said: “I went back to legacy – which is why I got Egypt 80 (led by Seun Kuti) on all seven tracks – and then eased into a realm of zero anxiety after the turbulent period that the world has been through. We had a lot of fun in the studio and hopefully this all shows up on the record!”.
On “Stress Free”, D’banj slips into Afrobeats innovation mode, visible in the multi-layered fusion of horns, saxophones and futuristic synths across tracks. The Egypt 80 brings the horns on the Afrobeat fusion, “Zombie”, and the Afro-meringue mix of “Welcome To Lagos” as well as the free-wheeling “Stress Free” and “Banga”.
“Ikebe”, meanwhile, is a gentle, uplifting prayer while “Big Vibe” incorporates the Amapiano sound into a pan-Continental dance special and “Avocado” – featuring Burna Boy – leads you into a glorious sense of Afrobeats utopia.
The productions in the album was directed by Clarence Peters.
