From Lagos to the world, the rhythm never stops. Afrobeats sensation Oxlade lights up the stage with an electric performance of his latest hit OLOLUFE on ‘Live From Vevo Studios’, filmed at Vevo’s London studio. Surrounded by vibrant yellow lighting and delivering a soul-stirring solo set, Oxlade’s performance captures the essence of African elegance and unity that defines his latest album, Oxlade From Africa. The 16-track album is a bold journey that transcends borders, blending elements of Reggae, Dancehall, and Afrobeats to celebrate the richness of African heritage. “OLOLUFE” draws inspiration from Wande Coal’s iconic R&B hit, with Oxlade infusing his own twist of Afrobeats rhythms and sultry melodies. The result is a track that’s both a homage and a statement of Oxlade’s sonic evolution. Oxlade shares:
Wande is one of my idols. My ‘Ololufe’ has Reggae, Dancehall and Afrobeats vibes.
Lyva Corvo, Manager of Music & Talent at Vevo, praised the performance, saying:
On the day of the shoot, his energy was so contagious. We’re excited to give his fans around the world this original live take of his viral hit ‘Oloufe’.
Vevo’s state-of-the-art stage allowed Oxlade to be his truest, most authentic self, connecting powerfully with his global fanbase. Born Ikuforiji Abdulrahman Olaitan and raised in Lagos, Oxlade’s musical journey began in the choir, a background that shines through in his soaring vocal melodies. His breakthrough came in 2018 with the release of Shugar, followed by the international hit Away in 2020, which landed on Rolling Stone’s Top 50 Songs Of The Year list and earned praise from Drake. Oxlade From Africa isn’t just an album; it’s a cultural statement. As Afrobeats continues to dominate global charts, Oxlade’s ability to blend tradition with modernity places him at the forefront of the movement. Watch the official video below.
