Starting a new chapter in his impressive career, Nigerian singer-songwriter, Joeboy again strides onto the music scene with his latest single, Osadebe, following his departure from Mr Eazi’s Empawa Music. The self-assured record, released under his own imprint, Young Legend, and in partnership with Warner Music Africa, carries the weight of its namesake – iconic highlife musician, Chief Stephen Osita Osadebe.
Osadebe, more than just a title, is a declaration. Backed by an upbeat instrumental from the talented K-Dreamz, Joeboy croons about himself, charting his own path and refusing to conform. The lyrics pulsate with a quiet confidence, echoing the proverb “Osondi Owendi,” which translates to “one man’s food is another man’s poison.” In other words, Joeboy embraces his individuality, carving his own happiness without seeking external validation.
With Osadebe, Joeboy makes a statement. It’s a celebration of confidence and self-belief. As Joeboy steps into this new chapter, Osadebe is as an appropriate tune for the moment – which promises a future filled with unwavering self-assurance.
