Baby Boy AV's music moves at a significant pace with new EP
Nigerian singer Baby Boy AV has released his much-anticipated six-track EP, Pace, marking a significant milestone in his music career.
The project showcases his struggles with all the positive and negative changes life has brought about over the years, and Pace finds him heavily relying on his storytelling abilities.
Baby Boy AV's distinct sound and creative versatility, make him a force to watch in the ever-evolving music scene.
With 'Pace' Baby Boy AV has poured his experiences, emotions, and musical ingenuity into this collection, which spans a variety of themes and sounds.
The EP delivers an introspective yet upbeat vibe, reflecting his journey, pushing boundaries, and embracing growth.
In an exclusive statement, AV shared, “Pace represents the rhythm of my journey, learning, evolving, and finding my voice as an artist. Each track tells a different part of my story.”
The EP starts on a reflective note with 'Who Dey', an acoustic track featuring Ktizo and sets the tone for the project’s overarching themes of peace and self-acceptance.
Baby Boy AV’s subdued, almost weary vocals deliver a poignant plea: “Give me love/ give me life/ give me peace/ no give me wahala.” The track speaks to a determination to rise above external pressures and maintain inner calm.
The tempo shifts with Undisputed, a groove-heavy anthem featuring superstar Tekno. The track is a bold declaration of Baby Boy AV’s resilience and dominance in the new-age music scene. It also serves as both a personal mantra and a dancefloor-ready hit. Its infectious rhythm and catchy hook solidify Baby Boy AV’s position as a rising titan in Afropop.
Halfway through the EP, State of Mind offers a refreshing reset. With warm instrumentation and a relaxed vibe, the track acts as a soothing interlude before the energy ramps up again.
The second half of the project begins with Wicked Lo, where Baby Boy AV leans into a log drum-heavy beat, delivering an Afropop soundscape primed for the dancefloor. This track is a vibrant bridge between introspection and celebration.
On Obianuju, AV collaborates with fellow new-age Afropop stars Victony and CKay. The trio crafts a sultry, harmony-laden ode to love, showcasing unexpected vocal synergies and an effortless chemistry that elevates the track to standout status.
The EP then closes with a triumphant reprise of Who Dey, the outro. This up-tempo version breathes new life into the acoustic opener, transforming it into an anthem of victory and perseverance. It’s the perfect ending to a project that celebrates resilience and growth.
In addition to *Pace*, AV has been hinting at other projects in the works, ensuring that his growing fanbase has plenty to look forward to.
With Pace now available on streaming platforms, Baby Boy AV invites his listeners to experience his artistry on a deeper level as he merges highlife and Afrobeats for a sound that’s uniquely him while paying homage to his roots.
